Re: Get Rooney Now!
Got to be a no for me.
Firstly, off the field antics, and attitude Do MATTER to our owners, they expect players to represent the interests of the club on and off the field, Rooney isn't the player to do this. Our owners are carefully establishing a brand image across the world, by doing good things, charity work, neighbourhood support,( Manchester, New York etc..) players are aware of their duties and have almost been faultless in projecting a positive global image for the City brand, troublemakers have been eased out, Mario, Tevez, Mancini... A lot of hard work has gone into this, and to have some foul mouthed simpleton raining expletives into the camera on saturday, then talking to the press on a Sunday, just won't cut it.
Secondly, if UTD are willing to sell to rival, then he's obviously on the wa(y)ne as a striking force.
3rdly, I don't think he would fit our system, and as we're just about to confirm Jovetic and Negrado, then there'd be no room at the inn so to speak,
4thly, there would be resistance from some fans to signing him, obviously,that would soon dissipate especially if he banged in a hat trick in the derby! But that's all hypothetical,,it ain't going to happen
