Fergie also said it would be sorted by tomorrow, Rooney out on loan until January? Would you offer to bring him to Spurs for 3 months??

Oh God yes. If anyone can sort him out it's our Arry! PL title, here we come. :hump:

Yes I would. Imagine if he arrived on loan, found his Happy Place with Redknapp & co., clicked with the rest of the team, scored goals and helped us on an unbeaten run that saw us overtake United and challenge Chelsea for top spot (while City stutter and sit in 5th). Then he buys out his contract so that he can play for us for 50 grand a week and we win the title and the CL.

That's what I think will happen.

It's certainly got to be a realistic concern. When your two best players are 36 and 37, your keeper's 40 this month and thinking of hanging up his boots, your captain and first-choice CB seems permanently crocked, the future isn't looking too hot. Berbatov hasn't had the impact that was expected, Nani's improved, but he's no Ronaldo, etc., etc. The team is going to need a wholesale rebuild, and where's the money?
Not really. Not when you have a manager who has a proven track record like Fergie does. If he thinks that he has good young players coming through and there is no one around of good value worth buying, I would back his judgement over some billy bigtime.
Yah, the thing is, how are they going to arrest this decline?

With their financial might blunted by loan repayments, they'll continue to decay so that by the time the come out of it their profitability may be a shadow of what it is now - is their overseas market loyal?

In this sense Rooney is just obeying the laws of nature. If rats didn't leave a sinking ship, perhaps a lot of people wouldn't realise it's going down.

They finished just behind Chelsea in the league, won the league cup and lost to Bayern Munich when they really shouldn't have. They've made a slow start this season but it's where you finish that matters.

Ferguson says he has money to spend, I don't see him as a yes man so I believe him. The thing is which club around matches Rooney's ambition. Man City? They've spent a lot of money but they haven't won anything yet, they already have loads of strikers including Tevez.

Chelsea? Ambrovich is no longer spending like he was in the beginning of his reign. Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Anelka not getting any younger.

Real Madrid? He could go there but again they have won nothing yet and don't see him staying for very long if he did go there.

He doesn't seem to have noticed that there's a recession going on and apart from city no club is really splashing the cash.

Of course it is possible that Rooney could be bullshitting to cover up the possibility that he's been tapped up.

Ferguson has ruthlessly sold players in the past so I've got no sympathy now that his best player wants to leave.

You can't loan players to any of the top leagues outside the transfer window ffs...

I would love to believe we could tempt Rooney into joining us but although I feel we have the aspiration and the potential to make him think about us, ultimately we will not pay the money that his agent will want him on

He can't join any top league side outside the transfer window and he also can not buy out his contract to move to a club in the same country he is currently playing in

Shogun, this is what I thought aswell, but on Talksport this morning and on Sky last night, they were all agreeing that this is what would happen today, he would go out on loan somewhere.

So I am confused.

cant see them sending him on loan somewhere sure where could he go?! reckon they'll make him train with the youths or something.

its a tough one for man utd cos if they tried to suspend him/tell him to stay away from training/dont involve him in some way in the club then this will affect the price they will be able to get for him in january. would love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting to see what plan they can come up with that doesnt involve rooneys value dropping

Thems are the rules my friend. Doesn't matter if who wants to break them, actually saying that would anyone be surprised if the FA allowed Rooney to go out on 'emergency' loan

The whole thing is silly,... and Berbatov is the "moody" one :roll:

I guess this distracts all from his summer trip. Good luck to him, wherever he ends up...

One the papers mentioned that he wants to go this window because come a year and half the uefa rules come in and he would be getting a smaller wage

He's a legend in my eyes, no more of these silly games managers play with the media, he says it the way it is and doesnt care, like he says in that interview "he's too little for anyone to listen"

he makes lots of valid points about the rules thesedays
