That and the fact it was quite some time later, a year by my reckoning.He'd normally get cheers from a United crowd for that

Hopefully soWow. How fickle can United fans be. They believe the stories coming out of a bunch of rags rather then their own personal belief in players. You'd think after the Vidic debacle many would fecking learn. Its a non story designed to increase circulation for fecks sake. Not one article even comes close to mentioning a real quote.
Why should we? We didn't bother to rubbish claims when every paper was running a story about Vidic going to Madrid, so why change our tone now, or more so, make a statement at a conference dedicated to Unicef. Gill effectively told the reporters to feck off because this was neither the time nor the place.Ahh so you do have an inability to read, how nice to know for the future.
Do you think doing this is in Rooney's character?
Do you think that all newspapers could write an article within an hour of one making this up?
Do you think we wouldn't have moved to rubbish these claims if they weren't true?
So i'm in the wrong because I chose to not believe in the constant shit being sprouted by the same cnuts that said Vidic was leaving and Fergie was going to retired at the end of last season...... right.marchi-91 was one of the ones who was creaming in his Ronaldo duvet long after Ronaldo left. A player before club type.
I agree it wasn't the time nor place, but Vidic spoke out against them several times, unlike this.Why should we?

ahh so Ken Dodd's dads dog has said so, how nice to know.My source which seems to be a bit more reliable then what the press has, has told me that there is no issue at the club. The media are building a shit storm out of a tea cup.
After a fair bit though wasn't it?I agree it wasn't the time nor place, but Vidic spoke out against them several times, unlike this..
Not really it's just that they didn't print his rebuttal so it seemed like it was quite late, whereas Rooney has said absolutely nothing.After a fair bit though wasn't it?
It hasn't been very long since this one broke out. It's just that it's Rooney so it's a bigger deal and seems longer than it is.
Point 1. Its Wayne Rooney the biggest player in English football. Believe it or not, non tabloid newspapers still get money for stories. The BBC make a fortune the same as the SUN and the likes from people visiting their websites. Also the BBC are yet to make bold claims unlike the rest of the newspapers, citing sources from the rags.Except the first press to run the story was the AP, followed within hours by blanket coverage - from the BBC and The Guardian to the usual tabloid rags.
If it was confined to the tabloids, I'd agree with you. But the universal coverage, the fact they're all running the same story - no real deviations, and the complete public silence from Rooney makes me think there's something in this.
Having faith in United players is lovely, but no one benefits from blind faith. In this case it would appear likely that Rooney either wants out, or is willing to risk leaving in an effort to push his wages as high as he can. Either way, that makes him a bit of a twat.
Vidic spoke out prior to the world cup, but nothing was said post it until it was released that he had signed a new deal....I agree it wasn't the time nor place, but Vidic spoke out against them several times, unlike this.
If it turns out its the truth then so be it. But I refuse to believe anything until the club makes a statement. The British print media are a bunch of savages and it doesn't matter who they are they'll print anything to gain circulation.

Point 1- The BBC didn't just cite tabloid "sources" they said Rooney's PR people had contacted them, same as happened to journalists at the AP, Times, Guardian etc. etc.Point 1.

Point 2. Same story is a double edged sword. Its either the truth, or its a lie and because the story "WAYNE WANTS OUT" grabs headlines, they'll stick to it.
Point 3. Same as point 2. Why change a winning method. Theres nothing else that could grab headlines. Of course, you'll see shit like "Waynes 1 month blackout" and you really start to question the truthfulness behind these rumors.
If Rooney wants to leave then so be it. Its frustrating but its his choice.I didn't think Vidic was going, the situations are nowhere near comparable.
I don't know whether Rooney will, but there is certainly something to this story. You can hide away and cry, but that doesn't change the reality that something fairly major - either as an attempt to push along stalled negotiations, or as a demand to leave - has happened.
Just like with Ronaldo, who you pretended wouldn't go.
"Ferguson WILL retire" was not reported at the end of last year the way this is being reported.
I know it hurts when you're just a young boy and the big world confronts you, but you can't hide from it forever.
DittoI feel sick and numb.

Still confident Marchi?
Alex Ferguson: "David Gill told me [Rooney's] agent wanted away. I couldn't believe it. It was a shock." #MUFC
It is a quote. Or is Alex Ferguson also a big fat liar?He's an idiot if so.
If ever there was a person who fit that description...cue lots of posts involving the word "cnut"
Ronaldo isn't under discussion right now.Ronaldo was a better player off and on the pitch.
Same. Haven't felt like this since I came home to news that we'd accepted a bid for Ronaldo.I feel sick and numb.
At least he was honest about his intention.Ronaldo was a better player off and on the pitch.
could be counter productive on the pitch and off the pitch if we are still trying to get him to sign a new contractboo him?
that's a question that needs to be asked expecially since we lost 3 of our best players in the past 1-2 yrs and we weren't able to attract any big name.
Why the change of heart?
