More than anything, I'd bet money they'd do their best to keep him. Rooney's too valuable a player to write off, even despite his recent form.

The sane person would do that, but this is SAF we're talking about. As soon as a player crosses him they're as good as dead to the manager. So if Rooney has already burned that bridge, isn't it as good as over?

ManU is pretty good right now with Hernandez and Berbatov up front IMO. Chicharito can be pretty special.

Poor, poor Liverpool though. What is going to happen to them? I predict Torres gone by January after demanding his way out of a bad situation. NESV will let him go for a princely transfer sum, and will begin the rebuilding project from ground zero.

Bahahahahaha, how did he NOT realize that at Barcelona, I'll never know.

Lol, wut? Hernandez will end up in La Liga within 3 years, I'm sure of it. Berbatov might be their best chance really.

Since it's been confirmed by Fergie himself,

Wayne Rooney to quit Manchester United: Sir Alex Ferguson admits wants striker wants to go and says 'I'm shocked and disappointed' - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

it will be interesting to see where Wayne ends up. If he stays in the league, you can guarantee that City will be willing to write a check for him that no other club can match, and there's no bigger F U to your manager and current club than to sign for your local rivals. (See WILLIAM GALLAS) Can't really see him at Chelsea, Spurs or even Liverpool. I could definitely see him in an Inter shirt though, if he wants to leave England. Or he could do a Becks and sign with Milan. Either way, it's time to start Rooney-watch 2010.


BTW, I know this is a Gunners thread, so I wanted to say nice job thrashing Shakhtar today in the CL. London clubs represent! 3 for 3 if Spurs can defeat Inter at the San Siro tomorrow.

Don't see it happening, not without van der Vaart. Gareth Bale is special, but not THAT special.
