Rooney signs 5 year deal

[jakeke]

Heskey has scored more than him this season, he isn't worth 150k+

Heskey is the new Drogba, didn't you hear Houllier?

Easily the best comparison to be made this season.

Loving the Ian Holloway rant.

Apparently another deal with him is for a number of books over the next few years.

I hope reading that much won't affect his football!

Loving the Ian Holloway rant.

Best thing to come out of the last couple of days

 

[anty1]

Oh boy, you just gotta love football sometimes!

 

[Rotty]

Rooney - I'm leaving

Mancs - have £50k a week extra

Rooney- OK I will stay





Let's see the reaction of all the mancs that said he would never be welcome at the club again

he's going to struggle to read a number of books in only a few years

The ones who have called him all the names under the sun this past few days?

This time next week he'll be Manchester United through and through again.

 

[Steedie]

I love Rooney, I'd never say a bad word about him and never doubted for a second he'd stay*


*this may or may not be true

I'm disappointed that nobody picked up on my joke about Utd naming a stand after Rooney's agent

 

[Von Smallhausen]

I never thought I'd see the day when Sir Alex lost face and would be walked over by a player and a **** if an agent.

Still, the extra money should keep him in tarts for a while and keep his wife Kenneth Williams happy.

I must have missed the Greedy ******d stand when I last visited Old Trafford.

 

[Cosimo]

Money is the route of all evil

So what does that make Rooney?

The poor boy has such a sort career he has to make enough to survive on when he retires.

It's a bit odd. I thought Taggart and manyoo were the one force that wouldn't be overwhelmed by 'player power'.

Obviously not.

 

[4p]

Figured he would stay. Fergie must be signing someone in January then. Or Rooney just saw big salary and went for it :/

 

[anty1]

Apparently it's stupid to have an opinion on Rooney after he announced to leave, then have people mock at you for your opinion after he announces he's going to stay.

 

[Rhys-M]

There has got to be more to it than just an extra 50k a week. Surely they dont have the cash to bring someone in next window. The past few days have been epic

In fairness I think most only said that if the move to City became more than just rumour. I still don't really have a clue what happened but as long as he's fully committed to United and puts the performances in on the pitch then I don't see the problem really. It isn't that far from the whole Gerrard to Chelsea saga is it?
