To buy Rooney would represent a gamble but surely it is one worth taking? He would win at least 5 games a season on his own (whether setting up or scoring goals) and we do not have a forward in the club who can do that. He can also play in any of the attacking positions used in the 5 man midfield we employ so it has to be a massive YES from me.

Whilst I accept there are other players we could get in the same price range none of them know the league and there are no guarantees they will adjust

One thing Rooney would bring is a winners mentality the downside of that being, does he still have the motivation to win?
unlike our players he has a trophy cabinet brim full with silverware and I'm not sure if he really has the desire to be a winner any more. :rubchin:

Anyone who seriously thinks Rooney would join us rather than Chelsea, Barca, Madrid, PSG or even City is totally bonkers.

True... But maybe Chelsea (Torres, Schurrle, Lukaku), Barcelona (Messi, Neymar, Pedro, Alexis Sanchez), Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Hugain (for now!)), PSG (Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi) and Man City (Aguero, Dzeko) are not interested in Rooney.

None of the top clubs will pay £25-30m for him (plus stupid wages). He's just not that good. Unless United want to sell him at a cut price or PSG or Monaco come in and he's willing to go play in Ligue Fun then he's not going anywhere.

The story will end with Rooney sheepishly backtracking and pretending that reports of him wanting out were exaggerated and misinformed. And many of the United fans who proclaimed they would never forgive him this time welcoming him back with opening arms and rekindling their view that he is one of the world's best.

Rooney is desperate to move to City or Chelsea but neither want him ,this leaves him with only us .
He is too stupid to move abroad and the missus wont have it but he still may have to as no-one else can pay him what he gets.
He may yet swallow his nob and sort it out with Moyes but he's a bitter so he's unlikely too.

With Wenger having become one of Sir Alex's buddies. following their rvp phone calls and Wenger assuring Sir Alex that rvp was actually better than he thinks.
I'm sure he will have spoken to his friend regarding Rooney, I reckon Sir Alex will have told Wenger that Rooney is trouble and to stay clear.
