AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 If he starts banging away goals I'm going to be very unhappy. I'll be very happy, if it means the teams around us getting more beatings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 At least now the media wankfest over the story for months on end about where he might end up will end. Also, more years on his contract means the price is bumped up and he escapes the hate campaign by their fans. He leaves for a good price in a couple of years and on decent terms with their fans, everyone wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Surely everyone saw this coming a mile off? Realistically, after that tantrum and the way it came out, who was realistically going to buy him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I don't think this is just about money. I reckon he would have got more elsewhere, but he's not a person that would adjust easily to a move to a different country, or even to London. His best option would have been Man City, and that would have brought its own problems, not least the fact that they won't be able to spend as big as they're doing now, once the Financial Fair play rules kick in. It looks like his agent has tried to bluff the club into thinking that Rooney wanted out, in order to get a better deal, and has manipulated press and fan opinion to further that end. Ferguson has called his bluff and trampled over him. The funniest thing about this is how so many journos, who are supposed to be in the know and insightful about the situation, have read this completely wrong. Ferguson has consistently confounded the critics who have written him off time and again, and I have to admire him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Why do people keep saying "it was done so Man U get a big fee for him" Why would ROONEY SIGN THE CONTRACT if that was the case?

Village Idiot Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 If it was all about getting a better contract it's a rather clumsy way to do it. He more or less said that his mates are shit and the club is headed to the gutter, but now he'll need to backpedal on that. But he got what he wanted I guess.

Guest Stephen927 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Many people at work seem to think Man Utd have done this to get him to play well til the end of the season, then move him on in the summer now his value is protected. Don't buy it myself. Nor do i. He's the most prized possession they've had since Cristiano Ronaldo. He's got his extra wedge so he'll be there for a good while yet. FYP.

Teasy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 All one big PR stunt. Create a problem that doesn't really exist in order to deflect from the real problems, solve fake problem, everyone's happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ferguson was probably in on it the whole time. Perhaps it was a way of scaring the Glaziers into making waves in the transfer market so Man United can significantly strengthen, rather than signing the likes of Bebe and Owen.

The cheeper he went for the bigger the sign on fee he would have been offered. I very much doubt he agreed with Man U to sign a contract as long as they seel him just to escape a bit of stick to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
