You don't want Higuain.

Better than what we have now...

Even though the 22mill price tag is quite high

yeah, the far more exciting rumor is us being interested in Rooney.

we should be stacked if we are actually able to land every player on the transfer block as has been speculated thus far!

God I would hate it if we brought in Rooney instead of just about any of the other names we've been rumored to buy.

Gag. Like i said, give me the other players of the same skill level and price (or less price as they aren't English and have stupid 250k week wages)

Even If it was a good price I'd just hate to root for him

Why? For future profit when we sell him to our competitors?

is there any reason besides age?

your pics didn't work Jumbeaux, but i did forget we have technically been linked with Cesc. so if one of your pics was of Cesc, then yeah i was wrong.

What other strikers available are on the same skill level as Rooney? He's bagged ten plus goals for 9 straight seasons. He can play anywhere and be influential. I'd rather go with Jovetic because of age, but lets not pretend Rooney wouldn't make us way better, because he would. If you give Rooney the free role we gave Cesc in 2009, he'd put up similar numbers.

I just think that Jovetic is one of the best young strikers around... He's also just as versatile, younger and cheaper than Rooney...

But he's not as good as Rooney, correct?
