I agree about the 10m - I think Chelsea are giving an offer that is far too low.
What did Mou say about Rooney btw? All I know is that he talked about how he is a good player and actually said ""He's a player that I like very much, being fast and direct I like him very much, but he's a Manchester United player," said Mourinho. (ESPN)

We've turned down a 10m bid for Quagliarella from Norwich because we think we can get more.
wut? COME ON MARRY JOVETIC IS PRACTICALLY AT FIRENZE AIRPORT!

Well then, not surprised United are trying to get the attention away from Thiago.
Luiz and Mata not in the squad against the Almighty Thailand Kings, probably negotiating with United.

Ian McGarry says Chelsea bid £20m.
We can know say without any doubt that whatever the bid was, it was not £20m.

List of players signed:
a) homesick Valencia
b) used to the pony Ukranian league 30 year old
c) fourth choice Spanish striker
d) perennially injured man who spends all his time in his underwear
Good one
Why would you do that to a club whose player you want? Even if its true you only hurt yourselves by going after them.
This deal was never going to happen and this is pure gamesmanship from Chelsea, if you think what United "apparently" leaked made no sense than what Chelsea just said is equally as baffling.

Chelsea are in a pretty strong position all told.
The player wants to leave, wants to go to Chelsea and his position at his current club is close to untenable.
I don't know if its wise of them to annoy United or not, but I can see it being worth a shot. Rooney is a problem for us - one we would preferably get rid of ASAP.

I'd say £30m is his exact value. Starting at £10m is far too low, and most probably untrue
Almost like bidding 12m for one of the worlds top strikers.
Oh wait.
Lol no. 25m max for aan out of form and fitness moron who can't keep his trap shut.

There's no point selling him to them for £30m.
Zero benefit to us, all the benefit to them. It would be the most stupid thing we've done this summer, and that takes some doing.
This is the worst transfer muppetry moment for me haha.
Yes. Could be more.
Where is this coming from by the way? I could also see Rooney's agent stirring shit up possibly, as Viva said.

Original story was bid consisted of £10m plus Mata or Luiz. Chelsea say no swap player involved in bid.
30 million is a lot of money. You get to offload his massive wages and have enough money to buy a fancy central midfielder and winger.
Not my fault Arsenal have all the negotiating skills of a desperate prostitute
25m is way too low. To Madrid/PSG? Maybe about right. But to a domestic rival? No.

Not sure if you know (I think you do) but the CFC players involved in the confederations cup are still on holiday
Wait... You shouldn't be doing this to me!!!
When we lift the trophy at the end of the season, we'll talk about transfers again. /Nasri

Confed cup isn't a real cup, they just use it as a cover up.
i do know.

It's not that much money, not these days.
Then there's the question of whether we use it.
And then there's the question of the massive benefit it gives to Chelsea.
Maybe the board would sell at the price, personally I think it's crazy.
Unnless we have singed said players, no dice
Id sell Rooney, but not unless we have other players in, it is a stupidly dangerous game to take money for a player like Rooney and use it speculatively, imagine the ire if we sold Rooney and did no business come the start of the season.
Oh right.
So United are subliminally saying that Mata is not wanted at Chelsea anymore and is better off here.
Let the carnage unfold.

Chelsea buys Rooney for 15mil + Ramires.
United buys Suarez for 40mil
Suarez and Evra becomes BFF

It was regarding his value. I would say its 30m but of course selling to a rival we would probably want more. The thing is, it seems like Chelsea are the only club in for him, plus he wants to leave and it's pretty much known. The only way it could work out best, is if we would get a top player from them in return.

Just because you're not Man Utd, doesn't mean I have to like you
And lets face it, aside from Fernandinho who I don't know anything about really, Negredo is average (for a team who wants to win titles and cups) and Meditteranean Homesick Stew isn't all that either.
It's not just the £30m fee though. He's on £250k a week? That's another like...£13m just over this season alone.
Torres straight swap. You know you want it.

City should be buying the players that Monaco/PSG have bought. Not fucking Negredo.
Shame Monaco is heaven for a footballer whilst in Manchester you have Deansgate.
We already have a Torres, his name is Welbeck. He even invents his own skills.

Okay that makes more sense. But what Italian team wants Quagliarella? No top 6 team will have him except maybe Inter? Maybe Parma? It all depends on what his expectations are, and I'm betting he expects Champions League football.
Or he can just sit and pick up a salary like the strikers of recent past. He costs us €6m per year.
Edit: MARCO WHOOOOOO?!

I thought we'd have built a special partnership to revel in the crisis United is facing.
Well we tried for Cavani dude.
And what the hell have you got against Deansgate?
This is really tramp-like...
