Moyes on Rooney - Deliberate or Dumb?

[ChicagoRed]

After boasting of his contacts with Rooney, phone calls, visits to respective houses, Gollum decides to belittle him publicly.

 

From a football point of view, it makes no sense. It demotivates the player, and reduces his value as a transfer.

 

Have the wheels finally come off at the Old Toilet?

[xerxes]

You have swallowed the media spin whole, haven't you?

[dennis tooth]

Rooney was sent home with a fake injury he dont want to be there i think the club is ambivalent

[fowler9]

club forcing him out imo

 

don't think even he is thick enough to think he can get a better deal elsewhere

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

There seems to be quite a few places saying United have turned down a £20 million bid for him from Chelski. Havent seen anything being reported by United yet to say it happened though.

You really havent thought that post through, have you?

 

Never mind ;)

[Ne Moe Imya]

I honestly think Moyes thought he was pulling some sort of "mind games" with this whole "They offered Mata + 10 million" bit.

 

The problem is no one with half a brain believed it and now he looks a fool (even if it were true, which it could never be, how stupid would he have to be to turn down that offer?). What's more, he managed to look like more of an ass than Mourinho, which takes some doing.

[Dr. J]

Neither. No matter what delusions he carries with him he's just a puppet. I doubt he walked in and was given any sort of autonomy regarding transfers.

[Strontium]

Moyes and Rooney don't get on, but Rooney is a hero at Old Toilet, while Moyes is a fucking bum whose first match in charge saw them get beaten by a bunch of ladyboys. So Moyes needs to force the player out without it looking like he's forcing the player out.

[Bjornebye]

I think they have met, rooney has asked to be number one, moyes has rightfully said you arent so now its about him going. Moyes has a chance to make a big decision but if he goes to chelsea and they win the league (which i think they will) he is fucked.

I'm not sure of Rooney's hero status. Plenty of bad quims on twitter calling him a scouse cunt and so on.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I doubt Moyes has much to do with how things are really playing out. This is just the end of Ferguson's plan, Moyes is just the guy twisting the knife. Either way it's good entertainment.

And yet he wasn't a scouse cunt when he was winning matches for them. In fact, in the face of "bindippers" and similar hilarious putdowns, reminding a manc that their best player is a scouser (when he was their best player of course) would simply be met with silence and a blank faced, dribble chinned gormless stare. Its a funny old game.

[redheart]

I do not think Man Ure fans would be that distraught at losing him.

 

He has peaked. His youthful fitness has now gone and he will only get heftier and slower.

 

If they get £20m plus they have done well. You will see a rapid decline from here.

 

Doesn't stop Moyes from being a tool though

[Xherdan]

Absolutely. They are a fickle bunch of cunts. Embarrassingly for Rooney there is also a YouTube of him singing that 'we all hate scouses' song after Munich.

Yep. Moyes is piloting stolen Imperial Shuttle Old Trafforderium . People died to bring him it. Now he has to keep his distance without looking like he's keeping his distance, trying to be all casual, but Jose Mourinho is on the other ship and has Moyes' nuts in a vice using only the power of the mind.

Absolutely, and in this weather he will find the ice cream man irresistible.....

Bit like Rodgers did with Carroll a year ago !

What do you mean now?

Did Gollum really say that?

[Adebisi]

10 years with them negative Nancies has left Moyes very angry and bitter, he probably hasn't forgiven Rooney for his autobiography comments.

 

Thing is though it could work in Moyes' favour, the media will be linking him to Fergie again with his 'take no shit and bomb those out who wrong you immediately'

Let's hope it does prove to be a bad move and they do shit.

[BCM]

They have been engineering his departure ever since he wanted to leave last time.

 

Left out of big games, moved out of position. This is just the end game,and moyes just happens to be involved as it finishes.

[dennis tooth]

It been reported as 'sources close to' rather than Moyes exact words.

[dennis tooth]

I think I would rather he stayed and caused all types of shit, put pressure on Moyes when he cant sell him and undermine his authority?

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

I would love to know what did actually happen with shrek leaving the tour there on. I mean if it was him wanting to come home or its the club who have. Is it just a coincidence also it just so happens Bayern are in the market for a striker . Remembering this is the club shrek has suppose to be trying to join.
