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.
