[samharris]

Stop press...Rooney does impression of Gerrard wearing City shirt.

Jesus, that's some diet he's been on.
He's lost at least 3 stone.
Fat scouse cnut.

well, i'd love him if he was in blue - wud start winning things...

World class prolific ? myth

I dont want him anywhere near our squad it could be a modern day Rodney Marsh moment.....why pay 50 mill + for a player who is very similar to Carlos who in my eyes and prob many others is a far better allround player (as Carlos stats prove ) and will be available on a bosman in the summer....
I really think were just being used as a bargaining tool for a new contract or a move but it wont be to us , Mancini is building his own squad with a winning mentality you only have to look at Robinho as an example and altho Robinhos signing was a statement from the owners we dont need to make anymore staements ...have a look at the stats and tell me you really would want rooney ? a player whos not all that imho......
Rooney's Manyoo PL goals record.


2004/5 - 11 in 29

2005/6 – 16 in 36

2006/7 – 14 in 35

2007/8 – 12 in 27

2008/9 – 12 in 30

2009/10 – 26 in 32

(Using the old Benjani argument – four of these came against Pompey (inc two pens) four came against Hull, one against Burnley, three against West Ham and three against Wigan

So that’s 15 of them against clubs who finished bottom five. 11 in the games against everyone else.

2010/11 – 1 in 5

We have had loads of Posters now for and against. What we have not had is any sort of estimate of how much he would cost. So if the rumours are true and he fits into our Managers plans and a bid is successful; how much do City shell out ?

ps - we still dont know who he smacked in Training !

the more i think about this, if city were to go in for him it could be time for a change of attitudes, disregard totally any feelings towards the rags, we're not bitter, we're only interested in city, united aren't even on our level anymore

 

[Blueknows]

nothing imo

dont need him dont want him , rather have Dzeko in Jan , plus I know its sounds mad but where would rooney fit in ? who would he replace ? not Tevez

£20M + Adebayor

I really hope he gave Flecther a slap

if we were to pull this one off it would be the superstar name the owners want and would be a fantastic addition to our team

 

[not my fault!]

Agree 100%
Plus we all keep hearing how the rags mean nothing now so why does it matter if we take their best player for the second year running? Great addition to our team if it happens, but only if Tevez is happy about it (not that we should decide on future buys based on what the current squad wants or not... You know what I mean!)
