I'm actually impressed that Chelsea made a statement so soon. Good move.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I would expect Chelsea not to say anything.

Me too but they've admitted to bidding. Point is that no club would ever admit to offering players. It destablises and devalues the players. You'd only ever do so on a confidential basis. Stretham (and maybe United) has landed Chelsea in it and now it's denialsville time.

 

[K1LLER7]

You think Chelsea might have actually offered Mata but didn't expect it to get leaked?

Would be crazy from Chelsea though. At the moment, he's better than Rooney.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

So, Gustavo is available at Bayern? Watch United ignore him.

Looks like United

Damn we're an embarrassment

Yeah, there's been some weird leaks around United. But you probably wouldn't admit to offering up your best player in a supposedly confidential bid either.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I would expect Chelsea not to say anything.

They pretty much had to deny it.

Not saying its certain they did make that bid. But once that story was out in public it had to be shot down. Even if they went on to make that deal involving one of those players, it's impossible for a club to allow that kind of speculation to be out there uncontested.

Whether United just invented that, or leaked a genuine bid - it's a pretty aggressive thing to do. Quite surprised.

Edit - Oh yeah, Stretford is another possibility. He's stupid enough.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

As someone said on twitter.

"Well you can't trust a club statement!" As opposed to an unsourced rumour? This is astonishing

 

[Fady K]

Here's an alternative as well - maybe Chelsea actually did not offer Mata or Luiz and are telling the truth? Maybe?

 

[L1NETT]

If Rooney was unsettled before, now he is fully fully focused on getting out of there now Chelsea have confirmed the bid.

Mou you sly old fox, the prem has missed this.

 

[Linius]

Afellay pls.

Sad story

 

[Feorax]

So, Gustavo is available at Bayern? Watch United ignore him.

Brentan pls.

@garbosj: #CFC will not sell Mata but will listen to offers for Luiz.

BRENTAN PLS!

 

[Salvadora]

Vietnam already look better than Indonesia.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Mou always needs his enemies to keep his "show" alive. Guess this time it will be Moyes.

Moyes will be gone before that rivalry materialises.

Not sure who to believe with this transfer.

If Man Utd have leaked misinformation, it just makes them look stupid and a bit desperate. If Chelsea are lying, it makes them look laughable, since it was based on a stupid act in the first place.

 

[qindarka]

Dat desperate skepticism

I was actually referring to the recent claims that Chelsea had bid without a player exchange not being official yet. I was being skeptical of something favorable to myself.

Brentan pls.



BRENTAN PLS!

Lol, garbosj is full of garbage.

 

[Naughty God]

Why would we sign Mata when we have Ashley Young, Nani, Zaha and Giggs?

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Chelsea made a bid for Rooney.

United said they offered 10m + Luiz or Mata.

Chelsea deny any player exchange but reveal they did make a bid.

Journos say this is a shot by United at Chelsea. Full on war between the two clubs now.

Ronaldo can be in two places at once.

Shiiiiit

Full on muppetry this is

 

[Fady K]

If anything Chelsea getting Rooney these days is easier than ever before. Why be stupid enough to offer your best player along? Bullcrap.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Bring on the Mourinho press conference.

 

[Steverulez]

Brentan pls.



BRENTAN PLS!

We wouldn't sell Luiz to an English club even if we were willing to sell. And he wouldn't go to Liverpool anyway

 

[Vivalaraza]

Here's an alternative as well - maybe Chelsea actually did not offer Mata or Luiz and are telling the truth? Maybe?

Calm down.

Nobody is saying that's not possible.

 

[Mr Cola]

iit is entirely, entirely conceivable that Chelsea is purposely trying to upset the apple cart at United right at the start of the season when we are due to play. Its ingenious in a way. I wouldnt be surprised if they are behind the entire story and all the leaks.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Here's an alternative as well - maybe Chelsea actually did not offer Mata or Luiz and are telling the truth? Maybe?

Seems an awfully elaborate lie by United if so. To what end?

 

[Salazar]

Matt Hughes from the Times is a bellend and resembles an ape to an almost suspicious degree.

 

[Fady K]

Before we blame United at all though where are these sources getting their info from? Surely United would not make an outright lie. I smell foul journalism is at play.

 

[K1LLER7]

Here's an alternative as well - maybe Chelsea actually did not offer Mata or Luiz and are telling the truth? Maybe?

Then there's no chance they'll get him for 10m.
United might have used this in a way as to say, "You want Rooney, We'll take Mata."

 

[Hixx]

I fully believe United have leaked and 'amended' this as they have forever been cunts when it comes to transfers.

 

[Tc91]

Chelsea are furious we've been linked with their players? Yet Mourinho can openly talk about wanting Rooney to the media.

Sell him to Madrid to piss him off.

 

[Wes]

Rooney is gone. Just a mata of time.

 

[Fady K]

Calm down.

Nobody is saying that's not possible.

I'm cranky at the thought of losing our best player to our biggest domestic rivals >_<

Seems an awfully elaborate lie by United if so. To what end?

There are many elaborate lies when it comes to transfer reports IMO.

Matt Hughes from the Times is a bellend and resembles an ape to an almost suspicious degree.

But of course.

 

[Ushojax]

Giroud has found his level

 

[Steverulez]

Seems an awfully elaborate lie by United if so. To what end?

Mou talked about liking Roo, it causes Roo to want to leave more. United get upset and try to unsettle our players that have been speculated about in recent weeks?

@Salazar, whats wrong with Matt Hughes?? Being a bell end that is, he does look like an ape. Maybe he and Bale are relatives? Lololol

 

[qindarka]

Then there's no chance they'll get him for 10m.
United might have used this in a way as to say, "You want Rooney, We'll take Mata."

If the initial sources were wrong about the player swap, they could well be wrong about the 10 million sum as well.

 

[Wilbur]

MUFC_Facebook: MMMMMMMMAAAAAAATTTAAAAAAA PLSSSS

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Before we blame United at all though where are these sources getting their info from? Surely United would not make an outright lie. I smell foul journalism is at play.

Well Chelsea have now openly accused United of outright lying ('briefing the media in Sydney') and are not blaming the media.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Before we blame United at all though where are these sources getting their info from? Surely United would not make an outright lie. I smell foul journalism is at play.

United would lie. I don't have any problem believing that :lol

But Rooneys agent is the other possibility. He seems pretty desperate for this to happen.

 

[Kyoufu]

Looks like United

Damn we're an embarrassment

This is the only thing making the summer heat bearable.

 

[Feorax]

We wouldn't sell Luiz to an English club even if we were willing to sell. And he wouldn't go to Liverpool anyway

We'd send Lucas to tap him up

Honestly though, I can see him ending up at Barca.

Lol, garbosj is full of garbage.

Yeah. I have actually got no idea why I'm still following him tbh.

 

[Yurt]

Fiine I'll do it

-----------Rooney------
Hazard - Mata - Oscar

or

------------RVP-------------
Young - Kagawa (Welbeck) - Valencia

or

Aguero (Negodno)
Silva - Jovetic - Navas

 

[Salvadora]

GIROUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD

 

[Broder Salsa]

Seems an awfully elaborate lie by United if so. To what end?

or maybe you know, this one reporter trusted a source that was bullshitting?

 

[Hixx]

Schurrle will play ahead of Oscar imhohoho


Also Bardsley is playing with the under 21s

I LOVE IT

 

[Salazar]

Chelsea are furious we've been linked with their players? Yet Mourinho can openly talk about wanting Rooney to the media.

His mind has been damaged by a few seasons eating his own faeces in the La Liga circus sandpit.

 

[Scum]

Rooney is the source of this leak. #RooneyITK

 

[Tc91]

Fiine I'll do it

-----------Rooney------
Hazard - Mata - Oscar

or

------------RVP-------------
Young - Kagawa (Welbeck) - Valencia

or

Aguero (Negodno)
Silva - Jovetic - Navas

Get Young out of there please.

 

[Tobinishi]

On a sidenote, Giroud scored again

 

[Slizz]

Who gives a shit?

 

[Wilbur]

This is the only thing making the summer heat bearable.

:lol

So wait did Chelsea make just a 10m bid?

Disgusting valuation hahaha, quadruple it you fucking twizzlers

 

[dc89]

:lol

United getting into a war of words with Chelsea. Meanwhile, we just sign players.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Giroud has found his level

:lol

You dick

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

or maybe you know, this one reporter trusted a source that was bullshitting?

But Chelsea have just released a statement that United have been briefing the press in Sydney and are laying the blame at their feet. It's not one of those trusted sources type of situations.

 

[qindarka]

:lol

So wait did Chelsea make just a 10m bid?

Disgusting valuation hahaha, quadruple it you fucking twizzlers

No, the sources were likely wrong about that as well. No way Chelsea would bid 10 million unless they intentionally wanted to piss United off.
