I think United will be more like the 98/99 season, when they had Cole, Yorke, Solskjaer and Sheringham. Top teams need 4 world class strikers, not to mention that Rooney is 18 anyway, so if they let him get away now, they may not get an opportunity to sign him in the future. See Alan Shearer scenario.

Besides, Newcastle have even more strikers: Ameobi, Bellamy, Kluivert, Shearer

And they really need a couple of defenders.

And the interest in Bellion came from him going to the same football academy as Anelka, Henry, Saha etc. which is well known for producing class players.
