Newcastle United Prepare Shock Bid for Wayne Rooney: The Daily EPL

Posted on May 15, 2013 by The Gaffer


Newcastle United are preparing a shock bid for Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, according to a report on the website of Newcastle’s owner, Sports Direct.
Here’s what a source close to the negotiations has said:

“Newcastle see Wayne as their ideal player. He’s a strong centre-forward, would relate to the fans and would be a massive boost to the club’s brand name.
“Low-level conversations have already been held between Newcastle and Rooney’s agent, though the two clubs haven’t spoken directly yet.”​

When Rooney was at Everton, Newcastle United tried to buy the striker who decided to snub Newcastle for Manchester United instead. Now it could be a perfect opportunity for Rooney to head to the north east where he’d be welcomed by the supporters, and would make a big impact on the Newcastle side for next season.
What do you think? Can Newcastle United afford Rooney? And even if they could, could Rooney be a success on Tyneside? Or do you think he’s better off making up with Manchester United and staying with the champions? Let us know your opinions in the comments section below.

I think he'd be a perfect fit for them to be honest. I'm all for it.

lol....

that would be hilarious...

Why the fick would he want to go to Newcastle... Never in a Million years...

Didn't they try to sign him when UTD originally went in for him ?

About as good a fit as that shirt hes wearing in the photo

 

[Hansern]

Yep. He'll never go there though.

About as credible as the Everton bid for Eriksen this week.

About as credible as the Everton bid for Eriksen this week.

Or the Liverpool one

Wasn't it suggested at the time that Newcastle were put up to bid for Rooney to flush out the Utd bid?

 

[red_maradona]

would love this, but would this not rule our carroll going to them and them paying us boss money?

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

The do have a history of overpaying for washed up strikers who used to play for a merseyside team.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

No doubt a Fat Ashley leak to appease their angry deluded fans. They'll end up signing René instead

 

[Spionkop69]

Nah, he's not good enough for the Geordies. They want people who won't win them trophies for another 60 years.

 

[Leo]

Pardew wont care as he too busy preparing for the 4-0 hiding he's expecting this weekend.

I think he'd be a perfect fit for them to be honest. I'm all for it.

Yeah, perfect fit. Stripes are thinning, so they say.

 

[RedStar]

So the club that has spent the last two years hiring French unknown players to bring down their wage bill are going to sign the most overpaid player in the English game, absolutely zero chance of this happening

And even if they somehow did come up with the money there is no way on earth he would go there, he may have peaked but he hasnt descended to Michael Owen status yet

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I think they have published a retraction and apology. Surprise surprise haha.

Following the latest transfer gossip, news outlets have released a picture of what Wayne Rooney would look like if he joined Chelsea...

...and his arm turned African.
