Genuine interest from both parties - Rooney and AFC. Good source from Rooney's side has said it is between AFC and Utd unless a stupid offer comes in from elsewhere. It's a big decision to leave and it changes by the day.
Not much info I know but I don't post rumours unless I feel good about it.
Last one was months ago on the chosen one after Terry told a friend he was returning
Nice to see us linked with spending this type of money and fingers crossed something happens. I would rather have Higuain to be honest as Rooney's lifestyle will impact his playing career

Why would we need to sign Rooney, pesonally, I think this rumour is a load of rubbish. We'll end up with too many strikers and a big hole in the wage budget. Hopefully a new RB, with any luck.

Usmanov favourite football player is wayne rooney and usmanov has told wenger if he is serious about wanting rooney the he will personally bankroll the funds for this transfer to happen. Wenger has a good relationship with david moyes has asked if rooney does come available then to let them know. At this time no bid has or is likely to be made and will not be made unless rooney becomes available.

You can have Rooney. But can you break your wage bill and pay him 250k a week like we are?

We will never pay the wages he is on so why talk nonsense. plus would you leave a club who challenge every year for trophys to one thta celebrates coming 4th like its a massive acheivement?

Usmanov i'm guessing can't just bank roll for rooney am sure there are rules stopping that kind of thing

My mate who was in tesco last week and seen wenger buyin some grapes asked wenger about transfers so wenger quietly handed him a bit of paper and all that was written on it was buy rooney and grapes

A friend of mine has several mutual friends of Rooney and he had told me for weeks that he will see out his contract and then go back to Everton. He is quite open about it apparently so I can't see us getting him. Scott

Regarding the pay raised by the United fan above, the offer would apparently be 170k/week plus a £4m signing on fee. This will equate to around £230/week equivalent.

I did hear Wenger was going to buy grapes again for Diaby. Could be true.

Rooney won't sign for arsenal. Arsenal are being linked for every player on the market within or near there budget. This is because arsenal unlike other clubs keep there transfers close to there chest until everything is completed so they have no other choice than to speculate. I would love to see rooney, fellaini, cavani, higuian, reina, lads bender, fabregas sign for arsenal or at least one of them but its not likely. It's more likely to be someone the press have not even thought about

Rumours are that representatives of our beloved Arsenal have hopped on a plane to Madrid to meet with Real representatives. A fee too be agreed by Sunday with conformation coming in the next week. Also, Fellaini is a 50-50, as Everton are looking to milk as many pounds as possible out of our war chest.

Everton can't milk anything. If his buyout clause states 22 million from a top 4 team, then that's what it will be. Any difficulty would come with personal terms if another club wanted him.

Nope and nope! Reports everywhere state only a medical is needed both fee and terms agreed with the player and club respectively! And how can Everton hold out for more if the clause in his contract is met? Think before you post.

How can they " milk it ", we only have to activate the release clause? Nice try though, really sounded like you were itk there for a second. Willesden Gooner

I wouldn't be surprised if we have actually offered less than the release clause, and Everton are holding out. would be a typical Arsene approach!

Reports may well state that only a medical is needed but those reports all stem from a Daily Fail story that terms and fee had been agreed, other news outlets quoted that story. Not saying that I know or believe it to be untrue, but I'm taking it with more than a pinch of salt.

I like the look of Illarameddi from Real Sociedad more than I do Fellaini. Younger and already plays for Spain. would be a briil signing but that's my opinion

Ifmyou are reluctant to believe everything about Higuain in the papers, then don't believe everything about Fellaini's contract either. That what I was getting at originally.

Everton fan here.
The release fee is £23M and the bidding starts at that price, so if Manchester United bid £24 and City bid £25, who are we going to sell too?

Everton fan - That's ridiculous. why would any team bid above the release clause? as soon as the release clause is activated then Fellaini is free to discuss terms with that club. Everton won't have a choice who they sell to

Been reading the sun this morning then have we? Meant to be a rumour site not a copy and paste site

Correct me if i'm wrong, if its a rumour in the sun newspaper that still make it a rumour does it not?

Personally I can't see this happening, I thought the fee was believed to be around £7mil from the rumours I have seen on this.

Either way in a few years this kid is going to be big, a big talented defender. usually when you have to pay fees like that for ages like that then there is a lot of promise to work with. I think it would be a coo if we could get him. if i'm right has he not been called up to the full internationals, just for the experience, or has he made his debut?

Not everyone reads (or wants to read) The Sun. So I'm happy for Arsenal transfer gossip reported there, or anywhere else, to be posted on here. I wouldn't have known about this rumour otherwise. DS.
