I wonder what assurances Glazer gave Rooney during that conversation.
MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date
"Well errrrm, I thought like errrrrm, you know like errrrrm, you'd you know, like, errrrrm get the, you know, joke errrrrrrm"hehehehehe
The above interview was given by Wayne Rooney at 22:30. By 22:38, he was found lying in the foetal position after a swift kick in the balls from one Redlambs.
One out of Casilas/Hart/Lloris
One out of Pique/Chiellini (sp?)/Alves
One out of Ronaldo/Messi/Bale
One out of Sneijder/Pastore/Hamsik
One out of Torres/Pato/Aguero
It would take absolute ages to build up something like that even on FM
It will get right on Andersred's tits to think that Rooney knows more about the situation than him!
Let's be honest, anyone else sold him off in your FM games in the last few days...?

But seriously, putting aside the fact the boys a total bellend and money grabber fact is he could get more ££ elsewhere even after his nice new contract so Glazer and Gill must have made some pretty firm guarantees to him on future targets maybe even lined up transfers as we speak, im honestly amazed we went to that length to persuade him in truth, sitting him down in front of a link with the owners on the other end telling him future plans for the club, pretty serious stuff really.

Saw him on SSN the other day, least i think it was him, seemed a nice fella
That's one way of looking at it. Another would be:
Ding dong.
WR: "Errrm, Hello?"
Hoodie: "Rooney, you knob, why are you shitting on United?"
WR: "Ermm, you know like, what?"
Hoodie: "Yeah like, The Sun said you are fecking us over!"
WR: "Ermmm, I think you've got my order wrong, mine was three XL with extra pepperoni!"
Hoodie: "Sign the contract or we'll feck you up!"
WR: "Errrrrmmmmmmm".
Later:
WR: "Eeeeeeer, why am I getting you know shit like?"
Stretford: "Oh don't worry Waynie it just adult talk"
WR: "Like you know, like"
Stretford: "Here's your favourite crayon Wayne, put your signature here"
WR: "Like, you know, like what?"
Stretford: "You remember that funny little symbol we showed you to draw?"
Close shave. Was going to put him on the transfer list last night but then saved the game and quit. (he's doing rather well! )
But I had every intention to sell him off. Safe now
I think someone on here loaned him to Chelsea with an option to buy.
I feel sorry for the poor bastards who have Rooney in their user names, they must have been going to hell and back in the last few days.
Should this thread go in the classics btw?
Well if it makes us go out and start buying players (not world class players necessarily) and stop the "no value" then it's good for the club.

Rooney and Fergie master plan to get new players in?
Ian Ladyman at it again in the papers tomorrow....
Cunning cnuts.

Rooney and Fergie master plan to get new players in?
Of course. How often do you have a thread slating a player, calling him a x, y and x and hoping he never wears your shirt again. Then he signs a new contract. It's classic.
I don't want to hit out at people but I think some lads need perspective. When you look at the picture with Rooney smiling and you have your digs, you should look at the great man beside him and if you think he's faking a smile your mugs...
We've read a lot of bollocks and you HAVE to go with the manager who is from a time where people were more decent and less hypocritical self serving pricks. Like none of you have never made a mistake in your lives - you've never made a decision in your lifes that have effected millions and millions of people world wide....how easy your life is
At the end of the day, its' over. All this rumor and all this hate is a waste of fecking time. Get over it. We're better then that. If you want to know a player cares, then let him show you on the pitch. Him saying 'Sorry' is a fecking joke. How old are we really? If he said sorry, would you suddenly forgive him? Like feck - most of you people need to get with the real world
We have stoke on sunday and that's the only fecking thing that matters now..not hating our player. Not making up bullshit 'oh it's so we can sell him for xxx in the summer'. Let's just move on and be fecking happy and to the cretins who think the club have bowed down...we haven't. We have in two days proven we are an ambitious club still and that makes us look more powerful then we have for a good while
But also it's not 50+ million of your money is it? You people need to see the bigger picture. Not Rooney but rather Sir Alex's beaming Smile beside him.....he's in a position to know the score and we HAVE to trust the manager or are we mugs?

Don't really need to ask the question, it's one of the most memorable threads on redcafe.
Haven't played fm in awhile as I'm waiting for the new one next month but I did edit him out in fifa11.
Whereas Rooney actually said:-
And:-
And:-
Nowhere in there does he say that the club aren't ambitious enough for him. In fact, the word 'ambition' doesn't appear in the whole statement. He was of the opinion that the club would not be able to attract the world's top players and that if this was the case then the club wouldn't be as capable of winning trophies. feck all to do with ambition.
So he's saying that the boot at beckham's head occurred because Fergie wasn't standing for a player thinking they were bigger than the club. What else could it mean?
My point wasn't personal towards antihenry, as i said, it's one example of many on here and i find it utterly ridiculous when those same people are quick enough to lambast the press for printing rumour and speculation when it suits them.
Obviously
We need to put all this shit behind us and when he pulls on our shirt again give him 100% support.
Booing our own player is utterly tasteless and I hope to god I don't witness it over the coming weeks.

Rooney: Erm hello
Glazer: Hello Wayne, is there anything you'd like to ask me about, I hear you are worried about United's future ambitions.
Wayne: ye...erm...av United got any money then?
Glazer: Yes Wayne, we've got millions and millions.
Wayne: erm...oh good...erm...are United going to buy some more players then?
Glazer: Yes Wayne, of course we are.
Wayne: erm...good players I mean....not like them crap ones we bought recently...ther, erm.....ther no good.
Glazer: Yes of course we are?
Rooney: Erm....some big names like then....?
Glazer: Yes Wayne, of course we are.
Wayne: erm thanks.....sorry for botherin you....erm...I...erm...just needed to erm....be sure...erm...thanks.
I don't think this has been handled well from a man management point of view. Gill was at fault for leaving the contract renegotiation so late but why then was Rooney allowed to fester on the bench? Why was his dissatisfaction allowed to possibly affect the team? Why didn't Fergie have a heart to heart with him earlier?
It just seems there's a lack of communication somewhere.

class
The only assurance Wayne wanted was that his wage would be bigger than anyone else on the team and he got it. Isn't Wayne the highest paid player in Man United history now?One out of Casilas/Hart/Lloris
One out of Pique/Chiellini (sp?)/Alves
One out of Ronaldo/Messi/Bale
One out of Sneijder/Pastore/Hamsik
One out of Torres/Pato/Aguero
It would take absolute ages to build up something like that even on FM
The press are going to love this. We're going to have stories of players linked to us even more often now.
Premier League | talkSPORT
Premier League | talkSPORT
just woken to this news - I presume there's absolutely no evidence at all that he's been given an increase in the salary that was already on the table. You know, the one that he didn't even look at? There just appears to be an assumprion that he must've been given 200,000 per week to talk him around.
Maybe young Wayne thought he was being offered a mere 100,000 and when he saw 140,000???? on the table thought, "oh, alright then"
or Wenger and Jose were right is seems. Sir Alex had a chat and the boy saw sense maybe??
Wonder what makes them think he's a Hargo replacement.....could be a Carrick, Ando, Scholes or Gibson replacement.
You know the really funny thing about that, its probably not far from the truth.
The respect we get from other coaches and players
Didn't want to open up another thread but this saga just shows the amount of respect we get from other coaches, ex-players, etc.
We've had Phil Tompson himself say that United is the biggest club in the world, and questioned why Rooney would leave.
Alex McLeish, Birmingham City manager
"I am amazed that Wayne Rooney wants to leave Manchester United. He is still young and he has got years ahead of him. It is not my business but Sir Alex knows the best way to handle it. There is no better man to handle a situation like that than Sir Alex.
"Player power has been bubbling under for a long, long time. It has come to the surface over the last few years. I've seen stories in the past of players saying we are going to have a meeting about the manager's future and it ends up the manager leaves his job. It is quite incredible, the power of the players.
"Sir Alex had a couple of bad seasons before and then you see what they've gone on to achieve after that. Just when people write off Sir Alex, he goes and does it again, winning the championship two or three times again and winning the European Cup again.
"I can't see for the life of me why Manchester United won't be able to attract the best players. There will be a queue from here to Glasgow in terms of players wanting to join Manchester United."
Owen Coyle, Bolton manager
"I truly hope that Wayne Rooney remains a Manchester United player. I think we all accept that he is having an indifferent time in terms of his form, but it only takes one touch and finish for that confidence to go pumping through his veins again and for him to show his quality, because he is truly an outstanding player.
"I think Wayne Rooney and Manchester United are a tremendous fit and you don't want the best players leaving the Premier League. If they can see it through, whatever the trouble is, and sort it out and he remains a Manchester United player, I will be delighted. I think everyone in football will be, because they are an unbelievable club, one if not the biggest club in world football and you don't want to lose your best players – and he is certainly one of those.
"Sir Alex has seen teams change over the years and built teams up again and hopefully they can sit and have a bit of dialogue and sort it out. For me, Wayne Rooney and Manchester United go hand-in-hand, and you want that to continue and you want them to be strong."
Everybody knows what SAF is capable of doing, it surprises me that players are so thick and impatient.

Can't wait to see Special1 TV now!.
The best thing about Rooney staying is I can enjoy Special1TV and Kai Wayne's tweets guilt free
People on twitter and Daily Mail reporting it to be £200,000 a week now...
.....
.....
You believe that?
Oh even better :
After taking a call from owners the Glazers, who assured him money was available for new players, he agreed a new contract worth £250,000 a week that has made him the Premier League’s highest-paid player.
Mirror Football
Not really, just wish we'd be given an exact figure. I think people are just taking wild stabs in the dark.
If the last weeks taught me one thing at all its to totally ignore anything that comes from twitter, the daily mail and stan collymore......
And that Rio Ferdinands tweets are the biz.
Have just seen Rooney's interview, wasn't expecting him to be on his knees but he ain't exactly remorseful or kind of apologetic. I always thought I would categorise him in that special giggs scholes neville status but he's nowhere near that. Tbh the whole thing has left a sour taste to it all, I agree with Fergie best thing is to move on, get cracking start playing football but about Rooney I think the majority will just let this slide and no doubt be chanting Wazza at OT.
Wayne Rooney's salary is like a fish. Originally it was £150k, then £180k, then £200k, and now £250k. Do we hear £300k?
This.
So many fecking princesses on here have taken far too much offence and have twisted reality in their brains.
