This whole thing with Big Sam and his agent seems decidedly dodgy, but Ravel's agent is a proper shit stirring wrong'un who has convinced Morrison that he's his "mate" first and agent second. If Sam suggested Ravel switch over to Curtis (which he firmly denies doing), it would be because Curtis has become the preferred agent of our current ownership. For whatever reason, they like working with him, whereas Ravel's agent managed to do something to become so disliked by the Daves that Karen Brady had him banned from the training ground. In response, he repeatedly slated us on twitter, questioning why any player would want to play for a Big Sam side, yet come January he was trying to get another of his clients (Max Gradel) to sign for us, while simultaneously trying to engineer a move away to Fulham for Ravel.
Anyways, Ravel can do one. At the end of the day he didn't have the stones to fight for his place against an ageing Matt Taylor, went on de-facto strike with a mysterious and, apparently undetectable, injury when he didn't get his move to Fulham, as well as repeatedly throwing his toys out of the pram throughout his West Ham tenure because Sam refused to play him in Nolan's role behind the striker. Not the sort of mentality you want in a relegation struggle.
I don't live in the past. Only clubs with no future cling to their history and past.

Talking about the past :lol
Graham Hunter says there is substance behind the renewed Isco and City talk. TXIKI PLS.
Ibe is really promising, looking forward to seeing him play regularly.
Is it supposed to be good? The trailer made it look awful.
Scores are high everywhere. And people in the movie thread over here wrote promising stuff too. And my main man Wilburt likes it, I have to able to trust his taste.
I had a dream Moyes was sacked and I woke up and went running for my phone to find it
alas
It's brilliant, enjoy man.
Masta, I thought the trailers looked a bit guff too, but it's really good.

Rooney contract done by today?
Guardiola is amazing, he is not only a great coach but also a fascinating philosopher, almost a true prophet. I imagine him like a sane and functional version of Rust Cohle. Beautiful, smart, interesting.. he is perfect. What a man, truly the guy who United need. Ferguson 2.0.
You guys are kings in your own little world, playing against semi-amateur teams every weekend, and against teams like Arsenal during the week. But someday you will face a real team and you will realize the falsehood of the dream that you have created yourself.
Guardiola is a fake prophet. Remember, I warned you.

Rooney contract done by today?
I'm really quite angry we're doing this.

It makes no sense to give him the contract right now. It should be done in the summer so United can gain leverage. There's a rumor that Cavani will go to Chelsea. If that happens, Rooney loses leverage.
Fuck you Moyes and Woodward.
Not a 5 year, 300k one. We've bowed down to Rooney for years now.
dem tico genes
Messi takes HGH?
Exactly, it's too late to go back now. Don't think Moyes could survive United losing their "biggest" and arguably most important player.
50k extra, the money's nothing to United, they'll just get a new toothpaste sponsor or something.

Rooney's greatest ability is making United bend over.
Messi takes HGH?
I met a mom and her kid the other day, the kid uses HGH. Looks like it is not that rare here

Last season people were saying RVP was our most important player and that he was flat out a better striker than Rooney. People were saying Mata was the best no. 10 in the league. All of that has gone out the window now? How important is Rooney really? If United promised to make big signings over the summer, how important will Rooney be at that point in time? Kill his leverage United ffs.
It will when there's a fat 34 year old Rooney cocking around on the bench and all new signings are pointing to him when they're in contract discussions.

I hate that fucking gif. I get teary-eyed every time someone posts it. Poor little feller
I seriously have to tell myself that he's probably okay, he's definitely forgot about this and he's going to be a world champion for whatever talent it is he was showing.Broder Salsa

There was one in my little brothers class who did too. He was also way better at everyone else when it came to football, fucking legal doping.

I love him man.
So that's why I got a Eurosport update a little while ago. Every two/three years without fail.

Rooney is the master negotiator, he has a career as an agent in front of him when his playing days are over.

Never tried that one. Seen it at Family Mart though, I always stick with Sapporo or regular Kirin. Sapporo is god damn heaven.

Well if it's just some casual Swedish racism and not him criticizing the ref then it's alright. Lets be real here, nobody wants to see Swedes on tv or in person.
Fucking el'.
He's your best player by a country mile and a big brand (as well as earning United lots of money). Disrespectful little cunt, sure, but as a piece of business, it ain't a bad one.
That could happen, but Rooney's probably in the best shape since he arrived this season and has been one of few performers on the pitch. If he can keep himself in shape, he'll have no problems performing into his mid-30s. I don't think he's ever let off the field issues or money effect his on the pitch performances negatively.
Rumours Van Persie isn't happy at United now and might be off in the summer, too. Selling Rooney would be "accepting".

Fantastic. I'm never not needing more Chris Morris in my life.
He should be. He's being shafted for a lesser player in that role. Half of Rooney's great strengths as a player is how adaptable he is, but we now have better players in the positions he's good in.
It's not even about selling him; as KidA says, wait until fucking summer when Chelsea and Madrid sign someone and he has no fucking leverage.
Van Persie's not reliable and not long for this world. Rooney either gets this money at United, or gets that money at Chelsea, or City, or Real Madrid, and wins titles while cashing that cheque. We might not like it, but that's the way football is, and if United want to stay competitive, they have to compete with those teams with wages, agent fees, signing on bonuses. It's an ugly world, but eh, they can afford it.
I don't think he cares about leverage, he'd happily see out his contract, pick up his loyalty bonus and leave for free the year after. Think of that huge signing on bonus he'd get then.
