Anyone just see Mourinho's comments?

"He will stay. He belongs to Manchester United, he belongs to Manchester United's fans. I wish he doesn't leave, because I like him. I like Alex Ferguson. I like Manchester United. It's his team, so I wish he doesn't leave. But if Manchester United decide they don't want him anymore - then give me a call. But for sure, he won't leave"

Paving the way for him to move to Utd much? Wants them to keep their best players, so that when SAF retires, he can come in and inherit that squad and more.

Exactly my thoughts..
 
I was listening to Andy Grays thoughts and he said maybe Rooney feels that Utd are on the decline and there is better options elsewhere.

Also somthing i want to ask Utd fans, if Rooney desides he wants to stay in England but not with Utd who would you rather him go to?? Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs??

it's quite obvious though...
You sell Ronaldo & Tevez and replace them with Valencia :S Giggs, scholes etc can't handle 2/3 games a week and there is no creativity in the side apart from Berbatov & Nani.

I don't think they need a striker, as they need a playmaker, LM & GK more urgently. Ozil would have been perfect but Ferguson clearly hasn't got enough funds to build the squad back to its 2008 greatness.
 
He wont go to Spurs mate. Levy will not break the wage structure.
 
Roberto Mancini denies man city have made any contact with Wayne Rooney - Sky Sports News.

Oh yer i know more than likely that won't happen but im just curious what option would Utd fans prefer if he was to leave and stay in England.
 
okay i was convinced he was staying a few days ago, but now i feel he will leave just next summer for about 40million quid and fergie will go as well. seems rather strange to say they will both go but this is how i see it panning out:


  • Rooney to reject various contracts throughout the rest of the season
  • Glazers to get ****** and say "we arent losing him for nothing" due to the clubs ongoing debts.
  • Rooney to leave for a cut price 40million as his contract will only have 12 months left, probaly to barca, inter or Madrid.
  • Fergie to leave as He wanted to keep wayne for another year and try to convince him to sign but glazers sold above his head.
  • Glazers to sell up due to fans hatred.
  • Mourinho to be hired and buys a suitable replacement.
I know it all seems very unlikely but my question to all united fans is, would you sacrifies Wayne and Fergie to see the end of the glazers?

I know i would!

we did match reals bid for ozil. he didnt want to play in such a physical league. Also we never owned tevez
 
This is unusual to say the least - very bizarre for Ferguson to hang Rooney out to dry quite so publicly. Contrast with Ronaldo situation two/three seasons ago.

he wants rooney to come out and say why he wants out. rooney has no room to manouvre and SAF doesnt get cast as the villain as is often the case. And clearly he feels betrayed by rooneys actions if the conference is anything to go by

Forcing player to put in request is usually done for political and financial reasons though? (ie limit fallout for manager/owners for popular player going - eg Alonso leaving Liverpool - and so they miss out on loyalty cut from transfer fee - eg Alonso leaving us for Madrid again).

Ferguson's interviews have been odd. The one for Pravda (think that's what your in-house TV station is called... ;) ), was just weird. "Sir Alex - what's happening with Rooney?" "Jumpers for goalposts, young boys in the park playing, when I was a lad we had lard on stale bread for breakfast".

Know what I mean? He's not done this to a player quite like this before. It's usually been all done in-house, old school in many ways. How come the shift for Rooney? Why devalue the asset by publicly revealing that he won't sign? Got prime money for Beckham in similar circumstances.

I see what you mean. From the conference he looked very downbeat, and somewhat exasperated by it all. So either he was just being being totally honest and not trying to play the game at all (very rare), or he's playing a move that i just cant see. Still a lot more to come from this, and it will totally overshadow tonights game thats for sure
 
The press conference was the only ever time I have seen Ferguson look genuinely sad. What's going to happen next, Alan Sugar breaking down and crying?

What i think was, SAF has protected Rooney more than anyone, but Rooney is too thick to understand that and he came up with interviews which contradicted SAF's. So instead of being Villain all the time, he was very honest in the issue and i think this was the best way as every fan knew what was going behind the scenes. Otherwise again SAF would endup being Villain,
 
McNulty's blog more or less sums up my thoughts.

He's been crafty, Ferguson, and I'm intriuged to see what Rooney has to say for himself.
