I think you are committing suicide tbh with this boss, fair enough Lukaku wanted out however it seems a lateral move to me in many ways beyond a pay rise. They were not much if any better than you last season and you being just behind them in the table shows that a bit imo. You had come on as a squad and got a nice cash boost. It is not to far from the metaphorical keys to the kingdom. Buying Rooney i think will be a huge step backwards for you lads.
That is my honest opinion without any rag-rooney associated bias. The best you will get imo is the first few matches where he would burst a vessel trying to impress. The years of smoking and excessive drinking in his body simply can't be masked beyond that imo. Not saying he is an alky, but as a pro athlete he does leave a lot to be desired.
