depends on how much we fork out for him. anything above 10mil will give a lifeline for the rags. remember, the reason why they have lost financial muscle is the lack of fund. ship out an unsettled player, buy one who might be the next big thing and we've strengthened them.
again, depending on how much we'd pay. the rags gambled with him on the pitch and his form is woeful. getting him here won't guarantee a return in form, particularly if he brings extra baggage with him.
there is an outside chance of strengthening their squad if we do get rooney. maybe baconface has identified a potential worldclass gem somewhere and they are 10mil short. selling rooney is two birds one stone.
So, let me get this straight, you don't want us to sign him because the money will help United eventhough he is definitely leaving and they will get some money for him anyway?
Ever heard of the phrase, "Biting your nose off to spite your face"?
Not when there is a chance of him going for a free, or the ridiculous buying yourself out ruling.
circumstances point out that interested clubs will find that the ball is in their court. bar a bidding war, the rags are in no position to stamp a buying price.
im not saying we shouldn't buy him. im saying that we, and i presume other clubs, should be the hard hagglers and really have baconface beg us to buy him of them because they are in a lose-lose situation. there is a bargain to be had and since rooney is not a must buy, we should have a low maximum offer, say 15mil max to be realistic.
