Rooney signs 5 year deal

Utterly bizarre (and I really dont think any Utd fans will be happy about the "negotiating" tactics either)

BBC cant have got it wrong surely?
 
What a tit. Can't wait to see how much they have offered him. £200k a week and to invest at least £50m in Jan for new players?
 
I just heard on Radio 5 that there were several 3 figure bets on William Hill that Rooney wouldn't be leaving and they only just stopped taking bets on that now. They probably lost a mint :)
 
The first player to undermine Fergie and to end up with a bumper deal?

Im looking at this from another angle in that Ferguson has played the press, the player and most importantly The Glazers like a fiddle.

He will never publicly criticise the Glazers albeit its plain to see from everyone the quality of players we have attracted recently is not there. So get Rooney to call their bluff by handing in a transer request citing lack of investment.

If Rooney goes Fergie can demonstrate his pedigree for developing talent and countering his claim. If he stays then the Glazers must have made some substantial promises for future squad investment. Either way Fergie Wins.

That's a very rosey picture you're painting there Loki ;)

I think it's more likely that Rooney's agent has held Utd to ransom and ultimately Utd have backed down. It's even reported that a condition of the deal is for 1 stand at OT will be named after Rooney's agent ;)
 
Well I dunno what to make of it tbh....I love Rooney and felt betrayed by his announcement to leave but on the other hand I knew he is right about the investment available to the club is no longer being there.

Anyway, he's got a bit of grovelling to do to win back some fans!
