so what do we think of the shrek to leave united for 25m then

Wont happen. Rooney will stay.

Don't see where he would go to be honest.

Barca won't want him, Real won't either. Milan, Inter and Juventus aren't as rich as those guys. City apparently aren't interested. Only PSG makes sense and they already have Zlatan.

He could always move to Russia for the big bucks.

He wont go anywhere else in England (apart from maybe Everton but they cant afford him), he's hardly gonna join Barca or Madrid, and I don't see him going to Italy.

Zlatan said about two weeks ago that he'd like to play for Bayern. I think Rooney to PSG, Beckham to play for one more year, Zlatan to Bayern, Gomez to Citeh, Lewandowski to United, Dzeko to Dortmund.

Nathan Redmond - £3m
Aleksey Berezutski - £4.5m

last call before they go

Why is Rooney rated 89 on Fifa by the way?

That's far too high. I'd say 85/86 would be more like it.

because he's a united player

Lews off to Bayern

Since when GSC? That's not a Pep signing, he wants big-name players. Lew's not good enough for him.

they reckon Bayern will get him or Suarez

German media think its a done deal

You say that but I read a report, albeit a bit tongue in cheek and from an Everton site, about the fact that Coleen is refusing to unsettle the family by moving so his options are really limited. It mentioned a desire to run down his United contract, and take a paycut to rejoin us.

It'll never happen, but I would laugh for quite a while if it did.

Sell Fellaini buy Shrek = sorted admittedly he'd have to take a wage cut surely he got enough sponsorship money by now

I really hope it's Suarez.

Even better don't do it as a swap, but sell Fellaini to United for £40m and buy Rooney for £40m and we then get the 25% sell on for Rooney as well

Fellaini is a £20m player, nothing more. He's been invisible for 3 months now.

Everton are well shot of Rooney, I'd rather have Jelavic and his work ethic than Rooney and his all-you-can-eat attitude.

I realise Fellaini is not worth what I said, but we were talking about a swap deal and I needed to boost the values so that we got a decent percentage of the Rooney sell on Everton won't sell for less than £30m though.

Part of why Jelavic has been struggling this season is ironically is the work ethic. Moyes always wants one of his forward players chasing the defence when we haven't got the ball, working the channels. Last season Cahill did it and Jelavic was in the box putting the chances away. This season, they don't want Fellaini doing it, so Jelavic does it instead. The outcome is that he is not in the box as much, so not getting the chances to put away, therefore he is not scoring and when the occasional chance comes his way, his confidence has nose dived and he is fluffing his lines.

This is one thing I think Moyes has got wrong. We need our main goalscorer to be tasked with just that, getting goals and not with defending or working channels

open to offers

Would, but I think my team is largely set now

if your not looking to improve your at a standstill therefore your going backwards

#poormanagement

I improved yesterday

Continuous improvement is necessary to move forwards it's why me and Soddy are in Division 2 cos we're happy with our sides

Fancy a quickie?

Whoever has Pirlo in this league, what did you make of that pass last night?

Morning

This places gets funnies & funnier.

Soddy is spot on:

Barca won't want him, Real won't either. Milan, Inter and Juventus aren't as rich as those guys. City apparently aren't interested. Only PSG makes sense and they already have Zlatan.

PSG can afford him + wages. They recently said they would like to partner Zlatan with Rooney.
Bayern can afford him tho buts its a . Doubt Barca, Real, any Italian team can.

Anyway, i doubt he will leave. Its just the media needing something to do, as he was dropped form the starting line up it gives them something to go from.

Anyone fancy starting the league again?

i would but im fed up of drafting teams

Haha

I would love to draft a team again.
Buying Pedro at the start from Trebs, I sacrificed too much to get him & it killed my first season off as I couldn't compete in the transfer market.

It feels too early to start again, but whatever the majority choose.

I would probably chuck my team in if we redraft. Not in protest but it would be a sensible time to call it a day for a bit, with the baby coming soon.

Rooney is not going to leave.

Media is overreacting again.

This was my first draft, and I got done over by Viva on a couple of players, including him telling me that El Shawoddywoddy wasn't worth £9.7m

I only said it as a joke btw, I'm quite happy with things. We can't keep re-starting every 1.3 seasons

We cant redraft after 1 season.

Rooney is not going to leave.

Gotto agree with the Bull on that.......If Yaaaaa Smeeeeelllllllllll.......

At least finish Season 2 before considering a reboot!

Reboot would bee interesting laugh out loud

You should never listen to Viva on player's ability. I mean, he even made you sign Zoltan Gera didn't he

#rebootstoasses

No point in a reboot yet. The league is pretty active I think, so it's not like it really needs a kick!

Would personally prefer a reboot but im not in the league laugh out loud.

the draft's are all ways great

Basically, a reboot takes a lot of effort on behalf of runners, and with Afro popping out a sprog and Hero not around it would be tough to administer

Let's finish the season and discuss then, shall we?

i shall start an alternative league

im kidding too lazy to run anything except the WWA and that's with Tooze

why restart, we have played 3 games of seasn 2

We're not restarting.

Nice to see Gregers signing someone from the Media Page

My team finally has two strikers! How I've got this far with Soldado (and Isco actually) never being injured is amazing

Now I've said that I expect either Soldado/Isco or Soldado/Negredo out next week...

No restart as far as I'm concerned

And i have no idea why i posted that on the media page

Never been impressed with Negredo, every time I've seen him on TM at £16m I've told myself that's £10m too much. Soldado is 10x the player.

Nice to see Azzy's on the warpath

For the record, it was Cabaye + Garcia out for Motta + Xhaka (and change), with Dembele and Arteta still in my squad. So two CM's and two DM's. Iraola = Anyukov but is Spanish which helps my co-efficient, and Nagatomo helps me out at LB when my other LB is injured this week.

Not that I need to explain myself to Azzy Inabadmood

Just caught up with Nigel Martyn's tweet thingy

What a dirty bugger

Thought I should liven things up here

Inabadmood, that's a town in Pakistan right?

Garcia is your quintessential DM, and better than either Motta or Xhaka. I now understand the Iraola deal (Anyukov is better imo), but Nagamootoo is now offficially a RB remember? You don't want to get marked down for playing him at LB...
