MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date
I can't forgive the contempt Rooney has shown to the club, manager and supporters, not anytime soon. But to be fair to the gimp, who's to say he buckled down and signed the original contract that was tabled to him in August? No one has actually seen the thing and all sorts of figures came up assuming United actually offered a far bigger payrise.
And Fergie did said it was the best offer in the country.

Its a fact that he's more than doubled his wages
He had 18 months of wages, now he has 60 months of wages
So has Chelsea, City, Madrid, Barcelona, Fall outs with fergie, Coleen wanting to move away... The fact is NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING!
If it's 150k, isn't that what he was going to be offered anyway? I still think it has much more to do with his endorsements than salary, since he'd be a less valuable spokesman were he to leave in such disgrace following his prostitute scandal.
Hard to tell with Ancelotti because he always looks a miserable git but he looked particularly gutted for a moment there but tried to hide it.the awkward silence is brilliant!
I'm sure that bloke off Lie To Me would have something to say about it.
That just exposed the journalistic profession for the shower that it is! Can't believe not one of them could come up with another question beyond Rooney at a Chelsea press conference!
cool watch
Excellent post!
I'm delighted he's staying. There's absolutely no doubt that he's been an complete idiot in the way he has gone about the whole issue. Who knows if it was really his idea or something that was concocted by Stretford? But as has been said, if he genuinely wanted out due to lack of assurance over the future squad then there is no question, for me, that those concerns are completely justified. If there was no reason to be concerned then there would be no green & gold and no LUHG.
I don't agree that he's dragged the name of the club through the mud. I can only see that the club and SAF have come out of this completely unscathed and with the utmost dignity. Rooney, however, obviously hasn't....and rightly so.
He certainly has a lot of making up to do. To the gaffer, the club and the fans. I for one will not boo him. I'd never do that to a player who still wears the shirt. Others most likely will....that's their perogative.
The legacy that this whole fiasco will most definitely leave behind though will be expectation. Expectation on Rooney himself to prove that he meant what he said when he said he wants to be here for life....as well as the expectation that his performances and future conduct will justify his new pay packet, whatever that may yet turn out to be.
Most of all there is now going to be a huge expectation from the fans (and the media) on the Glazers to make sure that the club can fulfil the assurances they have apparently given Rooney on the future state of the squad. Could this be the silver lining from this week's whole cloudy situation? As always, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I confess... I just couldn't take one of my favorite players who I've followed every match pulling such a stupid attitude...
So has Chelsea, City, Madrid, Barcelona, Fall outs with fergie, Coleen wanting to move away... The fact is NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING!
Tell you what, i'll mention 210k now...
210k
.. There you are. Now that's been mentioned too. You can add that to your list.
It'll be water off a duck's back, to quote Fergie, if he comes back to form and everything goes on as usual. If he plays for us for a few more years, scores tons of goals and leads us to trophies, he'll be an Old Trafford legend, and these past few days will be nothing more than a sentence in the combined history of Wayne Rooney and Manchester United.
It's unfortunate that we've had to go through that this week, but it's over and I'd rather look to the future. I'd also like to trust the manager who we've all supporter this week. If he wants Rooney as part of his team, that's good enough for me.

what wrong with his left eyebrow?

Stop spamming, asshole.
I still think he'll be off in the summer. Probably just a gentlemans argeement which will mean we get his full value when he goes.
If the events of this week lead to an immediate improvement in form as he seeks redemption on the football field, at least some good will have come of all this where it matters
The rest of the thread is spam. I'm trying to prove the point that all of this is bullshit. People are inventing their own stories without any clue of the facts.
Can't argue with that.
I'm surprised he hasn't apologised to the fans in his MUTV video.
People didn't invent Rooney refusing to sign a contract in the summer, refusing to sign a contract only a few days ago, publicly questioning the ambition of Manchester United Football Club, releasing a statement further reiterating all of this, only hours before a game...
Breaking news: Rooney buys portsmouth after weeks wages.
I honestly don't know what to think about all that.
It's a weird situation really.
On the other hand I'm as pissed off as before he signed a new deal, purely because of the way he has behaved, on the other hand I'm glad he has signed a new contract.
I have lost much respect for him, that's for sure.

Ion Holloway for Manunited !
I don't think so. I think he realized how badly this affected his reputation. Can't see him pulling similar kind of rubbish anytime in the near future
Ignore Lance, he doesn't even know what a football looks like, and is in a bad mood as he has made some ridiculous comments over the past few days.
Asshole.
Bored of this whole topic now, lets just get behind Berbaritto to put Stoke the sword and try to forget about this whole sordid fiasco.
Rooney ought to buy Nobby Stile's auctioned off WC Medal and give it back to the man.
Would be a great gesture
Stop spamming.
His English is brilliant, especially for someone who didn't speak a word of it 18 months ago.
I like Ancelotti. Any chance we could steal him in a few years?
People need to rationalise the effect of outside influences on this whole scenario. Outside of the key actors (SAF, the club & Rooney basically) how much influence has the Media, fans forums such as this one and that agent cnut had on the situation turning into the frenzy?
Have to agree, he seems a really likeable bloke. I'd suggest not on the stealing him front.
And there I was thinking this thread would out do our record breaking Ronaldo one from a while back.What a bizarre week, you could just not make this kind of stuff up without being called off your rocker.
Anyway, the bond between the fan and the player has broken for me and I dont know if it will ever be the same again.
Id love to know what really went on all this week, but I guess we will never ever get to know.
He left AC in a right state though, his reputation in Italy isn't nearly as good as you'd think it would be.
Indeed. Pretty much everyone* credible has turned round and said that Rooney would be a fool to leave. That has to have had a massive influence.
*Well, everyone except Paddy Evra.
Ancelotti is pretty like-able but Jose is most obviously going to be our next manager.
