Minhosa Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Can't help but think they've been forced into a corner with that one. Rooney goes the pressure cooker boils over, he stays and they pay through the nose for it. Long term deal too. Ouch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 He can really hold them to ransom. They're so gutless and spineless without him - and no player would want to join for anything other than financial reasons if he left. Smart agent he has Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Remember that saying, no one man is bigger than the club. Obvious that in Manchester United's case it is not true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Given how much they'd have to pay to replace him it probably just about makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not sure what it is about Wayne Rooney that he keeps warranting new contracts all the time even though he keeps agitating to leave and doesn't play to his potential very often.

Image, probably brings in loads of cash with mungs buying loads of gash merchandise with his horrid head or name on it. He wants his slice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Based on him being by far our best player. Our second best goalscorer, our most creative and our hardest working. You are aware he has 11 goals and 12 assists in 28 appearances this season yes? If you think he's playing poorly just how highly do you rate him at his best? Phenomenal player.

Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 He's a great, great player who's become pretty underrated in the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 They've been totally held to ransom because they couldn't get a better player so couldn't afford to sell him in their current situation. Done well there tbf to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he's playing poorly, he doesn't deserve to be on 300k per week and no matter what you say isn't going to change my opinion. That puts him up there with Messi and Ronaldo in terms of wages and he isn't anywhere near as good as either of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 But he is just as important to Man United as Ronaldo is to Madrid or Messi to Barca. It's all relative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaye was as important to us as Messi or Ronaldo to their teams but we couldn't just give Cabaye 300k per week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 But he is just as important to Man United as Ronaldo is to Madrid or Messi to Barca. It's all relative. Why? You have him now and you're sat in 7th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's completely different. Rooney isn't as good as Ronaldo or Messi, but he's still in the bracket of the Worlds top players. Cabaye isn't. If someone like Shearer was in prime and still at Newcastle, don't you think you would give everything you possibly could to keep him?

You have him now and you're sat in 7th? Every team has a bad season once in a while. We finished 15 points behind Arsenal a year after winning the league in the not so distant past as well. Moyes will get it right, and even if he doesn't you know we have the pull to bring someone in who will. I'd say enjoy it while it lasts, but I know you are anyway.

Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I can't think of anyone clearly better than him outside of Messi and Ronaldo. He's top bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
