Rooney looks like he could be on his way out of Old Trafford...

I can't say that I would be surprised should it happen

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

I'm not sure that is a bad thing. Not a man u supporter, but never keen on players who think they are bigger than the club..and i don't see rooney as someone irreplaceable. £50m..might be worth taking..if they could get two others..who is the tricky bit :D

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

If Rooney is sold then that's it, we'll turn in to a team like Spurs. Ok he's had a dip in form but it always returns. As it is right now we have no proven striker and knowing the owners there's no way they'll invest 50m in new players.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Who`s going to pay £50 million quid for someone who only has 18 months left of his contract, which will be 12 months at the end of the season?
I can`t see Man U wanting to sell to another English club, and i doubt anyone could or would be willing to buy him at that price. So that leaves us with Barcelona and Real Madrid who both have plenty of options up front and i don`t think Rooney is regarded with the same fervour on the continent, not at that price anyway!
He could end up doing a Bosman and getting a huge signing on fee if he lets his contract run out, that`s what his agent will be telling him!
More than likely this is just a blip and will be forgotten about in a month or two, who remembered/talked about old slapper till all this recent stuff came out :)

As to the whole Liverpool saga, i personally can`t see it happening in the time frame being banded around if at all.
First off you have a new group of owners who are in this to make money. They have not done this as a hobby or as a trophy asset in which they will invest huge sums without getting a return.
The Liverpool squad at the moment is very ordinary imo and it will take a large influx of top quality players to get them back fighting for the title. Where is the money for these players going to come from and where are the players going to come from?
Players like Xavi Alonso and Macherano don`t grow on trees and getting replacements of a similar quality is going to cost a lot, then there is the stadium, is a new one going to be built or will Anfield be extended.
Maybe i`m wrong and the past glory days for Liverpool are just around the corner, these guys will plough a couple of hundred million into the club in the chance they might win the champions league and premiership with 3-5 years :erm:

They may have done it with the Boston Red Sox, they probably like baseball more than soccer but that is imo a completely different kettle of fish!

My :2cents:

A player totally out of form gets dropped to the bench in a game his side should win without him and hes "on his way out" :rolleyes:

If his name wasn't Wayne Rooney nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Now corrected

:rofl:

(sorry but being a city fan means I don't get much chance to laugh at another team :D )

Roy Hodgson - Coming to a club near you very soon!

Al Fayed must be laughing all the way to the bank. The Fuggers were paid compensation for that??

:D

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Somehow I doubt anyone at Anfield, on or off the pitch, had their full attention on preparation for the game this week. ;)

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

And it showed, oh well onwards and hopefully upwards! :)

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Phil Mcnulty (BBC chief sports writer): "Everton ensured John W. Henry's reign as Liverpool owner got off to the worst possible start as they emerged as comfortable winners of the Merseyside derby."

Roy Hodgson: "our performance today was a good one".

Lord Grabiner QC: "if it wasn't so serious, it would be a joke"

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Everton are a difficult side to play, especially at Goodison. Normally this wouldn't be too much of a downer but Liverpool played awful. No signs they are going to be any higher than mid-table at best.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Would be great to watch the Swans play Liverpool at the Liberty next season :D

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Good weekend for the Blues of Manchester and Merseyside :D

Sounds like City where a bit fortunate to come away with a win (even though we hit the bar 3 times) but as they same a win is a win. Blackpool from what iv`e seen of them look a good compact side with some decent players, especially Varney who seems to cause a good few problems. Tevez offside for one goal and possibly a foul for the other, Mancini`s luck must be in...

Still think it`s gonna go tits up, it is Man City after all :rolleyes:
