Hi Eds,
Great site. Are you aware of any firm interest in Rooney from Arsenal? {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any offer or approach at this time.}
1.) The media are claiming that Arsenal have got a £25 million bid lined up for Rooney and are prepared to pay him £200,000 a week maximum.
I can't see Rooney joining Arsenal for 2 reasons. 1 - Why leave a team that's winning trophies to go to Arsenal where they sell all their best players and win nothing? 2 - The fact that PSG have showed interest in Rooney. Arsenal won't be able to compete with PSG when it comes to money.
2.) " 1 - Why leave a team that's winning trophies to go to Arsenal where they sell all their best players and win nothing? "
Very true- but isn't that what arsenal are trying to change, now they are in a stronger financial position, etc? If they sell it that way. ? "you can help us turn it around mr rooney, be part of a new era for arsenal, a new challenge " and so on, etc, etc.
I know a hard sell! But at some point arsenal will change their policies (cause they need/have to) and won't continue as they are, its just a matter of time imo. this summer could be it.
3.) He should go for first team football. He will not be first 11 next season for Utd. He needs to be the super star and that will be the case at Arsenal. I don't see him going abroad and his Mrs would like London I'd imagine. Good move for all parties. Pus we could hopefully get first option on Wilshere when he inveitably gets fed up of not winning anything with Arsenal.

4.) How can selling one of your best players to one of your arch rivals be good business for the club? What a pathetic statement, obviously a Gooner! UTD hold the cards, if he wants out and the World Cup next year he'll need to play so UTD will not deal with Arsenal or Chelsea, especially with PSG, Monaco and perhaps Madrid willing to pay what he wants
5.) So arsenal are going to spend big this summer, 70m apparently.
Won't matter as it's Wenger spending it, and 70m-worth of flops won't make any difference. Wenger has signed what, one genuinely quality player (cazorla), and one decent one (arteta) in years.
Rooney's smart enough to see which way arsenal are going, he's more likely to join spurs.
6.) No Name,
Since when was Rooney one of our best players? About 2-3 years ago maybe, but he is a massive example of media bigging up a players and then failing to see when his best days are behind him. Gerrard, Lampard, Giggs, Scholes - all considered greats by their clubs but definitely not great anymore, yet the media rave about them still everytime they do anything. I'm all for sentiment, but it doesn't excuse Rooney's terrible form of recent years. He performs occasionally aginst mediocre teams - we have Hernandez and Welbeck that can do that.
Rooney gives the ball away more than almost anybody in the league and he corrupts the whole flow of the team and structure of the formation, he can't play anywhere other than upfront and now he can't do that because he has lost his pace. He wouldn't stand out in a Newcastle or Everton shirt nowadays! So Arsenal can take him for his rare moments of brilliance, another Podolski!

Hi Ed02,
Following on from my question about Rooney to Arsenal, do you expect an approach and bid to be submitted and can you see Rooney moving to Arsenal this summer? {Ed002's Note - You plan on keep asking the question in different ways until I give you an answer you like?}
