It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

It wouldn't suprise me at all if this happened.
The Alcoholic has a history of flogging stars that he falls out with (Beckham/Stam/Barthez) and it may well be that he is under huge pressure to sell by the board and this is an easy way out for all concerned. They could happily say that the sale was for football reasons only whilst masking the fact they are simply trying to balance the books.
On top of this, who knows what is going on in the Rooney household. Maybe Chav Queen Coleen has said she wants out of England?

Didn't a certain Ronaldo leave for £80million not so long ago?
Must be a fun job in the Man Utd finance department....
All that did was help make the books balance. Just look at the headlines last week about Man Us heavy debts.
It does look like he is off but his form is shocking. Doesnt look able to play the game at the moment.
They should get 40 Million for him but a massive gamble to any club that goes for it.

Oh! That'll be nice.
Goes to Barca for £35-£40M. Then Barca (again) can't afford Cesc!
Thanks SAF!
Although the reports are widespread, there hasn't actually been a quote from Rooney or their club.Imo Rooney and fergie will be back loving each other in a few weeks time. I also read somewhere that nobody can actually afford the 60 million price tag other then Man City. Wouldn't it be a right quick where it hurts for fergie if he lost Tevez and Rooney to man city
I could see Rooney going to Real Madrid as they've wanted him for some time now, and Benzema going the other way, as Madrid want him out and SAF would probably piss on himself at the idea of maybe making a new Cantona...
