Romey 1878 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I guess im just a bit worried that they will turn out to be some sort of secret transfer committee Put your tinfoil hat back in your cupboard!

Romey 1878 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Media reporting today that his wage demands may mean we don't sign him. Please be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 "Boyhood blue" who's willing to test the clubs resolve in breaking their wage structure? No thanks Wayne. Didn't want you anyway, glad you're pricing yourself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) We are going nowhere signing another Samuel Eto'o only to sell a few more shirts. It's not worth it. We should aim at the best possible players we can sign at this stage of our development and Rooney is nowhere near the quality we're seeking.

Haiku Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) We don't sign players to sell shirts, makes no difference to the club. Yeah I meant that signing him will only benefit our merchandising, but he's not going to improve us as a team. I would rather go for Davy Klaassen. Strong personality and good goalscoring outlet from second position. Would be much more useful than Barkley behind the main striker, whoever he is going to be.

Matt Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yeah I meant that signing him will only benefit our merchandising, but he's not going to improve us as a team. Can't remember, but did the Kitbag deal die already? If not, he's only good for marketing, not making money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Either way, marketing is supposed to bring more money. But this is not the subject of this topic. It's to attract people to buy things. Trouble is, our merchandise profit stays with Kitbag (if it's still applicable, really can't remember) so he'd be a very expensive name with no income to balance out the cost. Regardless, I'm still going back and forth on wanting him here or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'd have him but on favourable terms on our part which won't be entertained by the sounds of it If he's more interested in the money (which he's entitled to be) than playing for his boyhood club in his twilight years then fuck him let him rake it in elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Don't believe everything you read in the papers lads. No one except a Chinese club will pay him a stupid amount of money and Coleen will probably tell him he's not going China whilst they have a young family.

rubecula Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Talent? He has it. As a striker. He does not have it as a midfielder. Yes, I think I would like him back but only if he can do a job of work. If not, no. I can say that he should go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Marketing and selling shirts will do nothing for the club. KitBag (now Fanatics) is still running. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think I would like him back but only if he can do a job of work. If not, no. I can say that he should go elsewhere. One of the reasons he keeps dropping deep is it gives him the opportunity to hit that 50 yard crossfield pass to the wide player. It usually drops right on to the wide players foot and Rooney gets his round of applause. The problem is that too many of the bread and butter 5/10 yard passes are either going straight to the opposition or being intercepted. I think he has forgotten how to play a strikers role. Not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Dont understand why his wages would be an issue? If Everton say "Wayne, we can offer you 70k a week" it would then be up to him. Wouldnt stop Everton from making an offer to Man U. I think Rooney would accept 70k a week at Everton. And if we do sell Barkley it would be a perfect replacement.

Wouldnt stop Everton from making an offer to Man U. I think Rooney would accept 70k a week at Everton. And if we do sell Barkley it would be a perfect replacement. His wages are an issue because apparently he's not willing to lower his current wage. Can't see that being true myself, but think the problem is that he won't lower his wage demands enough to tempt clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I think this will happen eventually but it will take a big helping hand from Man U (e.g finding a settlement on the remainder of Rooney's contract) to push it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 He's on £15m a year. I'd offer £10m loan fee and them to pay his wages. Leeds got caught out with the stupid contacts and subsidised Fowler when he moved, United should be doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm not really arsed. If he comes for free on £100k a week then... ok, if he's on some mega wedge then no. Question.... how many of the goals that lukaku scored would Wayne struggle to finish? My guess is very few. He would create more too.
