    Worth 85m?

    tbh i dont think hes any better than Ibrahimovic or Henry.

    he definetly isnt better than Ronaldo who cost 80m.

    Barcelona are lining up an £85m summer bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney - and believe the Old Trafford club's huge debts mean they would consider the offer.

    Yeah, I did a complete double-take on that on the BBC site - and then I saw the obvious error - "News Of The World" :56:

    Any given Sunday a whole raft of ridiculous, made-up stories suddenly appear on that gossip page, and just about every one of them is from that one (toilet) paper.

    The only way Barca will be signing Rooney is if part of their training involves their superstars pushin a fat bloke up and down in a wheelbarrow. :50:

    He's not even close commanding that kind of fee.

    Real Madrid are planning a sensational £4million swoop for Hibs striker Steven Fletcher. (News of the World)

    That'll be complete rubbish then. No foreign club would even think about buying Rooney, who is likely to get sent off every third game in a league without protection.

    Noticed he 'mouthed' "twelve men" coming off the field against Chelsea. Will he get charged... will he buggery. I also watched a few occasions when he chose the harder, more selfish option instead of taking the easier option with someone in space.

    Can't wait till he screws up Englands WC campaign with a display of petulance and a red card!

    Fantastic player. Can't see United letting him go though.

    Barca must be gutting themselves laughing at the idea they want to sign him. He's worth * all outside the EPL. :50:

    He is a proper player, but not worth that money. Can't see him leaving Utd anytime soon either.

    He'll stay there for the remainder of his career, there's no way those millions will separate him from Man. United.

    He wont leave United. Hes absolutley top drawer, world class imo. His work rate, hunger, pace, power, touch and vision is unbelievable. Imo £30m is far too much for a player never mind £85m, money is becoming the most evil thing in football now

    Just found out what this ludicrous "Rooney to Barca" pish was all about.

    Rooney is currently trying to negotiate a contract extension with Man U.

    Looks like his agent's been saying mair than his prayers... :56:

    Personally not a fan of him! £85 Million is crazy money for anyone!
    Torres.
    Ibrahimovic.
    Drogba.

    All bettter than him in my opinion!

    Agreed, he is an excellent player and would be successful in other leagues but £85m is a bit steep. This Premier League blog on Manchester United's form actually suggests they are better without him though so maybe they should cash in!!

    In all seriousness, he is Manchester United. Without him and with Ronaldo gone, they would struggle in my opinion. Quality player who gives his all for the team.
