No way. No fucking way. I feel sick at the thought tbh.
Practical reasons: He's too injury prone. Most of the talk about him since the 2006 WC frankly has been about his injuries. I think we're just buying another crock for the treatment room.
Circus - I wouldn't be arsed about all the prostitute shit except that it's created a circus around him and by association, his club. He's been more to our advantage staying there than he would by bringing that circus to us.
He can't be trusted. Not by his wife, not by his club, not by anybody who pays his wages as a fan.
Emotional reasons. All my life I've despised fucking Trafford United - the arrogance, the bullying swagger, the know-it-all attitude, the feeling that they can do anything and get away with it because of who they are. Over the last ten years, two players have epitomised everything I despise about them - Keane and Rooney.
City players are a breed apart. They have a cheeky underdog thing about them - Tevez is just 'so City', so is de Jong. I can't even explain it. It's about tilting at windmills, doing the unexpected, fighting the odds, fighting the likes of Roy fucking Keane and Wayne fucking Rooney and Gary fucking Neville and showing them the finger - the one that says WE'RE BETTER THAN YOU, FOR ALL YOUR TROPHIES, CAUSE WE HAVE CLASS!
If Rooney joins, for me it would mark the point where we just become Manchester United Mark 2. Any success achieved with him would be tainted. It would just be success that they could claim. It wouldn't mean anything. We want players who are 'ours'. Tevez is ours: it doesn't matter that he once played for them, he was always the outsider there, where Rooney and Ronaldo were very much the insiders. de Jong is ours. AJ, Joe, VK, all ours, they just ooze class and ooze City. Something tells me that Balotelli could well become a City legend. But I'd hate to see our shirt soiled by that piece of shit called Rooney. Sorry, but it just wouldn't feel like it was my club anymore.
