Aye rehash, reuse, recycle. Blah blah tele blah
Big call mate.Clearly using ESPN as their source.
Why more so than Ozil?Got to say this would be a muppet-tastic signing. More so even than the likes of Sneijder, Modric or Ozil would have been.
Yeah, sorry about that. Want me to delete it?

Don't get me wrong I want this to happen.Got to say this would be a muppet-tastic signing. More so even than the likes of Sneijder, Modric or Ozil would have been.

But it's really not as big a signing as those you mentioned would have been. Although in a few years it might turn out being better.
It's similarish to signing Nani.

Ronaldo was considered one of the very best youngsters in world football when we signed him. So not sure it would be on that scaleFeels like a (potential) Nani, Anderson, Ronaldo type signing for sure.

Hopefully more Ronaldo less Anderson.
Thiago, RvP, Nani, KagawaHope Moyes can press the reset button with Nani. He and Thiago operating together would be quite spectacular.

It's more of a Rooney signing. He's more well known than all of Nani, Ronaldo, and Anderson when we signed them. There is an air of inevitable success too.
He is not a force of nature that 17 year old Rooney was, but midfielders are different than strikers.

my recollection of that summer when we signed Nani is that we hardly knew about the player and the transfer.

I disagree, but only because Rooney was the biggest superstar teenage signing of all-time, very few transfers compare to the hype and size of that one. £30 Million for a 18 year old. But agree to disagree.
Correct. Everyone expected Nani.Nah, ourselves and Tottenham had been heavily linked with Nani that summer. Anderson was out of the blue, however. There had been nothing linking us with him.

It was the greatest transfer night ever. A shame Ando turned out a bit meh, mind you.

If Thiago signs, I can't help but feel that we'll be moving to a 3 man midfield - and that could hasten Rooney's exit.

Doubt it, who would we play in a three with Carrick and Thiago?
Dropping one of our forwards would be nuts just to fit someone like Clev in the team, our forwards are our best players.
I remember the night fondly. As a teenager coming home late at night, turning on Sky Sports News to see we'd signed Nani and the next Ronaldinho.
Kagawa?
Realistically, I can't imagine us keeping Rooney if we buy the likes of Thiago and Ronaldo. There would need to be some sort of income to offset club record buys like that, should they actually happen.
