Well something has happened for Rooney to have such a turnaround on wanting to stay for life and then wanting to leave. I don't think there has been a fallout so for me it's one of two things. Either he/his agent have had their heads turned by Man City offering anywhere between £250/500k a week or he wants to escape British press and join either Barcelona or Real Madrid.



Either way losing Ronaldo and then Rooney puts us in a lot of danger and with Scholes and Giggs due to retire soon this now becomes arguably the toughest job Fergie has ever had. He probably needs to sign 2/3 top top players.

Surprised Fergie's been quite so public such a long time before the January transfer window opens. Unless Rooney completely backs down, which doesnt seem in his character, its going to be a difficult 11 weeks for the player and club.

More accurate

Straight swap for Kaka?

Nah, Benzema.

I doubt it after he got caught up in the Ribery underage saga.



Out of the frying pan and all that.

One paper today had Diarra, Benzema and £20m for Rooney.

United should snap their hands off. If Ronaldo is worth £80m then thats a fair price for a striker who has only scored once in open play in 22 games.

You rate Benzema and Diarra that highly?

If Yakuba is worth best part of £10m, then benzama is worth double that

I don't really get it with Benzema. Plus because of the scandal with Ribery's ladies of the night I doubt we'd bother.



Diarra would fit in well at United though.

Inter for E'to and Sneijder?
