Fair enough, lets see what happens.
I think you're forgetting how good Rooney was before RVP arrived. You've also got the price premium for moneybags Chelsea buying one of the Premier leagues icons from the mighty Man Utd. If they get Rooney for anywhere near £30m then they've got off lightly.
I'm not forgetting, however Rooney scored about one goal from outside the box out of a silly amount of goals for Man Utd (might have been broken with the CL goal against Chelsea). In terms of pure ability Suarez is better than Rooney now, plus he isn't a smoker and a drinker (I think), Wazza has a ton of injuries these days which Suarez does not and he also doesn't look like Shrek.Quote:

Well Suarez comes with a lot of baggage too and is consistently banned.Quote:

We might not accept it straight off, but we probably won't laugh it off either.
Call our bluff and most importantly, call Suarez's.
Yeah but none of which affects his footballing ability, in the same way as Rooney's has changed.Quote:

But what about the Chelsea premium?Quote:

These things should make the Rooney fee similar to Suarez's
Threat of FFP means most clubs start lower, he wants to leave, he's older. All of those things he's not going to go for the same amount.Quote:

In any case, as I said, the bid was rejected so Man Utd obviously still rate him higher but I wouldn't take him over Suarez. Obviously would take him over what else we have though.
Just like your face :pal:Quote:
