Dr Gloom 21965 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Carrick is another one I'd love us to go for, but we won't, for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2968 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I can only think of one - our tight arse owner. I don't expect him to splash out massive money on an older player. But I can see Rooney being tempted to see if he can still make it at another premier league club before he gives up. He's only still 31 or something. He'd be class for where we want to be next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30680 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Would we want him at the money he'd cost? He hasn't looked particularly good for Man U over the last couple of seasons. Is his form likely to improve any playing in a much poorer team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21965 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Rooney won't want to come is another reason. I wouldn't be so sure if the price was right, (which, I concede, it wouldn't be) He's not going to get another top 6 club. Playing for Rafa might appeal. Everton probably his most likely destination.

Playing for Rafa might appeal. Everton probably his most likely destination. That's the thing isn't it. Everton are currently much better than us, they've an all right chance of European football, he'd be playing alongside much better players, it's his "home" club, they'll be more willing to pay wages he's willing to accept etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is his form likely to improve any playing in a much poorer team? He definitely isn't the player he once was. But being the main man in a team again might give him a new lease of life. Conversely, it is a gamble with the wedge he's on if it confirms he's past it. I'd still take him over any of our current options at number 10. Plus he brings experience, and a player the younger ones would look up to. Exactly the sort of signing Keegan would be looking to make if he were in charge, I reckon. A couple of experience players in the mix are vital for newly promoted sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying he'd be a good fit if our owner could bring himself to pay top whack for a player with no sell on value, which he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30680 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Aye but it would need to be at the right price. On the pitch he probably isn't worth any more than £80k pw. That'd obviously be inflated by his endorsement/sponsorship value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5227 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Has he actually done anything of note this year? I was under the impression that he's been barely visible even when he has played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be class for where we want to be next season. If would be financially difficult even with a different owner, plus there'd be other suitors who are more attractive and he's said that the only other English club he'd play for is Everton. Then there's the money that would be available to play abroad in places like New York, LA, China, etc. It's never going to happen so it's all moot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21965 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 i didn't know he'd said the only other english club he'd play for is everton. i guess otherwise he could maybe see out his career in the states. can't see him and his mrs loving china.

Well, given how motivated by money he seems to be I wouldn't rule out China or an English club other than Everton, despite what he said. I would, however, rule us out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13894 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Ben Gibson is class, would be a good signing. Aye, watched Boro the last few times they've been on telly and he's the only one that's stood out. Would be a good signing to keep Clark and Lascelles on their toes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
