I really hope Fergie got him to sign the contract to ensure that we get a good fee when he fecks off, which hopefully is soon.
But how on earth can you prove that happened?Thats the irony of it all.
Rooney - I am not signing because theres no money for players.
Gill - OK if I give you £50k a week more will that convince you
Rooney - Yeah OK. I am convinced. where do I sign.
Who have Chelsea signed that's top class?But how on earth can you prove that happened?
Without going through these pages and pages of utter shit from most of you, is there anybody here other than myself who thinks that the reasons Wayne gave for not wanting to stay the other day were genuine?
He's right in saying that we've not been showing enough ambition of late. Other clubs such as City, Spurs and Chelsea have continued to sign top quality players and since 2008 we've allowed these clubs to catch us (if not take over us) and it's worrying.
In my opinion Wayne has helped the club to realise that this week and i feel he's been promised that we'll be looking to invest in world-class talent and to carry on competing for major trophies.
By adopting the stance he did i think he showed he feels the same way as the anti-glazer section of our support do in that we're all worried about the lack of investment in the team itself. Wayne's behaviour this week has served to highlight how close our squad is to falling away from the top of the English game.
This was never about money. It was about the direction the club looked to be heading in.
Word for word agreed.It's a bit annoying how many fans are saying 'I hope those fans who derided him are feeling ashamed' and 'You're all hypocrites now'... all we did was react in the correct way to the amount of disrespect Rooney showed to us.
He treated the club, players, managers and us as fans as complete dirt. Nothing has changed now he's signed again, in fact, perhaps it makes it worse. Rooney led us all along, patronised and belittled players who are playing much better than him right now, and a manager infinitely more talented than him who has always tried to help him, and mocked the intelligence of fans ridiculously more intelligent than him.
I don't really care if he's signed again. Doubt I'll be able to cheer him again really. He's completely tainted. feck him. Well, actually, I won't.
Of course money was an issue, but I also think that was genuinly concerned.. AND... I suspect that Fergie's succesor may also have something to do with it. I'm 100 % convineced that he really does care for the club, and that's why I think it will be unfair of the fans if they give him an overly hard time.But how on earth can you prove that happened?

What planet are you living on? Since when was it ever not about the money. This is nothing to do with the Glazers and we haven't even reached the 'our squad isn't good enough' stage because we have a team that was 1 point from the title. We are going through transition but he knows that and who is he to think he's the best player in the team? He's had the worst start ever and he's parading himself like he's Pele just because he had one top season.But how on earth can you prove that happened?

No he didn't, not in public. Jesus how many times does this need to be said.Best news ever! Rooneys indecisiveness to sign can only be great for Man Utd as it will force the Glazers to spend a few quid on top players. I'm delighted as he is our only world class player and replacing him would have been hard.
Those who plan to boo him at the next game are out of order as he had every right to question the direction the club is going under the Glazers.
I'm 100 % convineced that he really does care for the club
That would be "dispensable" then.That to me shows how indispensible the club is to him, and that he is the kind that would jump first upon a sinking ship.
The fact he's just had his wages doubled and now is perfectly happy with our "direction" is mere coincidence?Best news ever!

Rio's not letting it get to himrioferdy5
Just at the school halloween party(rave)!! 4-6yr olds going nuts!! The drink(lemonade)+ cupcakes are going down a treat! Cotton eye joe!!
You can't make the player before club people understand that.No he didn't, not in public. Jesus how many times does this need to be said.
Everything said in this post are the thoughts of a gobshite.Best news ever! Rooneys indecisiveness to sign can only be great for Man Utd as it will force the Glazers to spend a few quid on top players. I'm delighted as he is our only world class player and replacing him would have been hard.
Those who boo him at the next game are retarded as he had every right to question the direction the club is going under the Glazers.
So basically, you give it the big I am about wanting these greedy grasping Glazers out of our club. American investors treating the club like a business, pricing the real fans out, football becoming alien from the fans etc etcBut how on earth can you prove that happened?

I think his reasons where mixed sure he wanted more money as everyone of our players probably would. Also he is/was geniuely worried that he would be trapped at a club less their genius manager and with no means of investing in the team. He has obviously been told this is not the case, Ferguson will be staying ofr the majority of his new contract and we will be investing money in the team.But how on earth can you prove that happened?

There's degrees of all about money. Kaka (and Milan) were offered a lot more by City than they were offered by Madrid but big players go to big clubs. Did Rooney really want to be the first of the "in his prime" big players to go to a non-CL team? That's a job for a Ronaldinho or someone looking for a last big early retirement payout (Kaka next summer maybe)Put it this way, IF it IS £180,000 which is pure speculation at the moment, it's still £70,000 a week LESS than he was apparently going to get at City. So yes there is an element of 'if it was all about the money why has he just turned down more money from City to stay with United or more than his original but much less than his alternative offer from another club.'
Still can't believe it's turned around.You can't make the player before club people understand that.
Slag off your teammates, question the greatest manager of all time, then hop back on board expecting to be cheered on once you get your wages doubled.
Hooray!
why don't you also quote my argument for why I said that? eh? pathetic...
Whats difficult about doing what the club wants until the summer when they've agreed to let you go, on better terms, to a team you actually want to play for?why don't you also quote my argument for why I said that? eh? pathetic...
Like I said... the easy way out would have been for Rooney to leave the club in January. In stead he chose the difficult option... and he will know he's going to come in for for hammering from the fans. Remeber what happened last night in front of his house (where his wife and child were also staying... pathetic) and yet the next day he still put pen to paper. He's a much bigger man than you that's for sure.
they're brilliantRio's consistent retardedly random updates is taking the edge off a bit.
where are these?Rio's consistent retardedly random updates is taking the edge off a bit.
You would if the club said they'd let you go to City where you wanted to go, but only if you sign the contract and get some extra pocket money each week until the summer.I tell you what, If I had been in the situation that Rooney was in last night with those brainless twats, then I certainly would not have signed the extension the next day. Respect to Rooney for that.
Rio Ferdinand (rioferdy5) on Twitterwhere are these?
i've had to have two tramadol to take the edge off a bit myself!
maybe we've said he can go next summer anyway but we'll get a bigger a fee because of the contractWouldn't surprise me if theres probably a clause in the contract saying if we don't win anything this year he can go!
That's just pure speculation. and even if it happens you could still argue that at least Rooney wanted to leave United in a financially better situation. It would have made a transfer much easier had he not signed an extension. Another bit of proof that he realy carse about the club. Anyone with half a brain can see that.Whats difficult about doing what the club wants until the summer when they've agreed to let you go, on better terms, to a team you actually want to play for?
Stopped reading there. I've literally never played either of those games in my life.So basically, you give it the big I am about wanting these greedy grasping Glazers out of our club. American investors treating the club like a business, pricing the real fans out, football becoming alien from the fans etc etc
But deep down, you're a FM transfer muppet who plays too much FIFA and thinks that the best thing anyone can do in any and every situation is splash loads of money on loads of players and that whenever we don't we're only a step away from complete decline and ruin.

I'm going to go home and drown myself in green.where are these?
i've had to have two tramadol to take the edge off a bit myself!
I wouldn't be surprised guess he's followed the Spanish model of a release clause (though not one set implausibly high for comedy/P.R. value) and followed up with a supplementary about dropping out of CL football (or even the top 2?) setting the release fee lower.Wouldn't surprise me if theres probably a clause in the contract saying if we don't win anything this year he can go!
They still have quality strength in depth. They also haven't lost the best player in the world for £80m and saw none of it properly invested in world-class replacements. Don't be a pedant.Who have Chelsea signed that's top class?
Not if he wanted a specific club that we werent willing to sell him to right now, when we cant sort out a proper replacement in Jan.That's just pure speculation. and even if it happens you could still argue that at least Rooney wanted to leave United in a financially better situation. It would have made a transfer much easier had he not signed an extension. Another bit of proof that he realy carse about the club. Anyone with half a brain can see that.
I'm going home for a beer marinated steak and a fair few cans of heini. Just thought I'd share thatI'm going to go home and drown myself in green.
What an awful, awful week it's been.
