MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!

A case of player believing the hype around him. In a way the gaffer is reaping the rewards for trying to instil some self confidence in the lad. I am not bitter at all and wish him nothing but a decent career

I don't think it's about money. I think IF he wants to join City it will be because he feels they will be at the forefront of English football in the next few years.

Personally i think Coleen has something to do with this. I think after finding out about his antics with prostitutes etc it's more likely she wants to move away to another City/Country and have a fresh start.

you might be right - i hope you're right (in as much as i hope anything surrounding this)

personally i feel the opposite, i think he's had his head turned in the summer by huge offers from City and he wants to take it

I just can't see him playing abroad. Chelsea is an option though, i know people have brought up their new wage structure but theres no doubt in my mind that if Wayne was intersted in joining them they'd offer him a shit load
 
I said to him: just remember to respect this club...I don't know if he's done that." Harder edge to MUTV interview
 
This the first time when I pity SAF. He looked broken in that interview.
 
He never managed to make Stam look like a cnut because that was a non story. Stam left with tears in his eyes and he stated it on the italian media that if SAF wanted him back then he would return to Manchester ASAP and send Lazio to feck off. Ince was a cnut.

Your Maltese, so I'll forgive you.

The reference to Stam, Ince and Beckham related to falling out.

The reference to Rooney related to the other bit.
 
SAF - 'the one thing I said to him was 'respect this club''
And instead he plays like shit, contradicts the manager and spills this to the press to get a move away.
 
Does anyone else think the reason for him wanting out is due to the squad or lack of investment?

SAF mentioned that he was happy to sign a contract for life in March and then on 14th August he wanted out, is this due to lack of quality signings?
 
One things for sure, boo or not, he can never be cheered again.

Wouldn't put Ronaldo on that list, he was always leaving and has always spoked with good words about SAF and United since leaving. Legend in my eyes.
 
What a difference 2 years makes :(

who would have thought at the time that ronaldo would be the one with the best repuatation (assuming this saga goes the way its going) of the lot
 
Pretty gay thing for a 34 year old professional bloke to say but I think that cnuts broken my heart. Seriously. I've never been so disappointed by another person before and feel like this is close to the final straw in the battle I've bern having to enjoy football anymore.

I think we are all feeling this way at the mment mate (I know I am).

I just can't believe it. I thought the boy was a United "lifer".
 
How about Ferguson and Rooney HAVE had a massive falling out (as has happened in the past see Stam, Ince and Beckham) but he's got the first word in and is making Rooney look like the cnut?

Fergie isn't that sort of a sly cnut.

Hugely disappointed by Wayne. United went on before you and will go on after it.
Time to bring in the youth :devil:
 
Somebody better smash the jaws of the whores who he bedded... fecking disgrace..

But there is still time to get Wayne to change his mind...
 
We haven't done enough - I blame the Glazers for that. They have crippled us.

If we still had Tevez and Ronaldo, im sure we would be Champions and Rooney wouldn't want to leave.

Then he would have had to share the wage budget with those two and thus would still have wanted to go to City.

feck him.

I don't know why nobody seems to be even entertaining this idea, Sir Alex is a P.R expert with years and years of experience after all. There's two sides to every story and my assumption would be that both sides are to blame in some way.
 
I just wanted to add my voice to the many who totally support Ferguson, this kid is nothing compared to our club and its greatest ever manager- Rooney will regret this for the rest of his life and we will continue winning trophies.

If I was Gill I would release a statement that Manchester United are accepting closed bids for the player on the 1'st of Jan and the highest bid over and above our reserve will be accepted. Pack him off and play Hernandez-Berbatov for the rest of the season (starting tomorrow).
 
I hope he never puts on the shirt again. He's played like shit all season anyway so the sooner he leaves the better.

We don't know what the offer was and how much Rooney was wanting. We could have offered one hell of a payday, but he wanted some insane amount. Hard to say if 'we haven't done enough'.
 
Oh my :

DTguardian Fergie: "what we saw on Saturday was unacceptable, the
game gets to 2-2 and the fans start singing for Rooney"
 
One things for sure, boo or not, he can never be cheered again.

Why not? We don't know his reasons for wanting to leave. Fergie said Rooney's agent said he wanted to leave in August, isn't that shortly before the NOTW broke the story about his private life?
 
Feels like a kick in the nuts. The only thing that I don't quite get is why didn't we try to flog him before the transfer window closed?

I don't care where he ends up but we should aim for top dollar.

Tah tah and thanks for the memories
 
I dont understand the reasons behind this. I mean, he earns more than enough and I am sure he would have earned a shitload with the new contract. So why would he wanna leave?

Well, so it be then. We will move on. Someone new will come in. So much for kissing the badge and claiming to wanna play for United for the rest of his career.
