Death or the gladioli!
Except they wouldn't offer £150m, but what about £50m?
Even if he was our most important player and there was no good enough replacement available? I'm not too sure SAF would do that. No point having 150m in the kitty if you've worsened your team.I'm sure we'd sell anyone for 150m, including Rooney.
Yeah but we'd have the FA in our pockets for another few years with that kind of money.Even if he was our most important player and there was no good enough replacement available? I'm not too sure SAF would do that. No point having 150m in the kitty if you've worsened your team.
It's basically asking the question, how much is Rooney worth?Except they wouldn't offer £150m, but what about £50m?
300-400k a week, and a massive signing on fee?Of course there's also the small matter of the player's interest, which is usually ignored in these stories.
Why the feck would Wayne Rooney want to play for PSG?
That's not what we think we'd sell him for, if the thread was phrased that way I'm sure it'd be at least 10m more.According to this thread, we reckon he's worth £38M.

Don't agree that a 27 year old forward is past his peak. Maybe at 32-33 we are getting there, but that period inbetween is a great period for most strikers.Only reasons to sell Rooney are if Fergie thinks his questionable lifestyle off the pitch is reducing his impact on the pitch. And at 27 has already had his best days.
That or there being any chance of Ronaldo coming back.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-Wayne-Rooney-could-be-tested-by-PSG-bid.htmlAccording to a report in The Times, PSG are seriously considering making a move for the striker, despite his long-term contract at United.
Rooney enters the final two years of his Old Trafford contract in the summer, and Robin van Persie's brilliant form since joining the club in July means the England forward is no longer main man at United.
PSG, who currently top Ligue 1, are understood to be looking for a star forward to boost their attacking options. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the club's leading scorer, but they have been linked with moves for Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, the Napoli forward.
If United did decide to cash in on the 29-year-old Rooney, who made his debut at just 16, it would arguably make strong business sense as his value will depreciate significantly over the next 18 months.
At £250,000 a week, Rooney is United's highest earner and would expect a similarly high salary should he choose to move to Paris.
United's policy is not to comment on transfer speculation.
Rooney and Kaka have similar standings in their club, although you could make an argument that Kaka was more important to that Milan side than Rooney is to ours.It's hard to say, actually. That's what I meant. How do we even measure it their respective value (not just in a monetary sense) in a fair way?
He's not anymore.In his last 11 starts Rooney's scored 10, whereas in his last 11 starts RVP has scored 7. Yet where there's absolutely no criticism ever of RVP, some are claiming Rooney's having his worst season ever. How are we supposed to account for that disparity...
He's our best player, and one of the best to ever play for the club.
It depends if you take into account the whole package. Rooney for the next 5 years will probably cost us in the region of £60m in wages, along with your £50m transfer fee.50m wouldn't buy us someone who offers us what Rooney does so no we wouldn't accept it imo
More important than RvP?He's not our best player, but he is our most important IMO.
Sell Rooney, buy Flintoff from cricket ...
United don't need the money. Analysts project that profits will rise to almost £200m in a few years with zero debt. The future couldn't be any more stable.Everyone has his price. Even if you can't replace a player immediately, a fee like £150m will offer the club a long term stability and could be re-invested over
three or four years, eventually making you stronger than you'd have been had you kept the player.
feck selling Rooney, buy Messi!United don't need the money. Analysts project that profits will rise to almost £200m in a few years with zero debt. The future couldn't be any more stable.
