Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Grebbo]

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.

Also, to the above, well the £30 million was rejected, so I don't think it's really relevant.

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

You guys were talking about testing the water with that £1 bid. test the water again with, say, £45m. It acknowledges you've taken at least some notice of the asking price we both know we're not going to get and removes a little bit of doubt that you're serious about getting him. 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.

I reckon we'd get Wazza for £40m

But what about the Chelsea premium?
And buying from Man Utd?
And Man Utd selling to a title rival?

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.

Rooney is not going to get the chance to show he should be of that level at Man Utd again with RVP there. All those things affect that value, plus Suarez is probably deemed indispensable to Liverpool, which might not be the case for Man Utd anymore.

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.
