0% Villa: Rooney signs new 5 year contract!

[Edvard Remberg]

Just saw something on Skynews (not all and no volume) about Gabby commented about Rooney's behaviour. Anyone else saw it, and explain what he said?

What on earth is a tweep?

Rooney's team-mate Rio Ferdinand said on social networking website Twitter: "It was never in doubt in my mind tweeps, Wazza is Man Utd through and through there's no way I could have seen him playing for another club, defo not a Prem club anyway."

[supertom]

What a fucking circus! Absolutely ridiculous, and Rooney is just a frigging idiot! After all this, he's needlessly alienated a lot of fans. There'll be a lot of Utd fans who'll still be stinging and will still need convincing. He could have saved himself all the hassle, but does that boy ever think ahead to consequences? No he doesn't. Thick as shit.

Sadly we can't ship him out the country now.  He brings the whole country down. He's like the distant relative you invite to a wedding because you have to, knowing full well he'll make an ass of himself and no one outside his direct family can stand.

I don't believe he'll ever recapture the form of last season before january. He's all about money now, and I don't think he cares enough about his football. I also think he's peaked and will never be able to put himself in the bracket of greats like Messi. The last 6 months in particular, I don't believe Rooney has the temperament, fortitude or intelligence to fully recover from.

There seems to be a school of thought oop north that it was all a Fergie inspired stunt to put pressure on the owners and for him to come out smelling of roses, I cant see why Rooney would walk into the role of looking a like a right plum though.

I can think of a few million reasons.

[PeterWithe]

Rooney wouldn't be short of a few bob whoever he ended up playing for, if anything this makes him (even) less attractive to sponsors.

[PeterWithe]

[dave.woodhall]

Sponsors, like supporters, won't care once the goals start going in again.

[PeterWithe]

So soon after the brasses thing? He's be a fool to get himself talked into that kind of conspiracy, he might be but Stretford isn't.

Remember how Kate Moss lost all her sponsors for at least a fortnight?

[PeterWithe]

I take the point but Rooneys stock has never been lower, the type of conspiracy being talked about is incredibly high risk for alll concerned.

[The Situation]

I knew it. When he said he was 'going to leave' I never fully believed it and always thought he'd just eventually just sign a new contract which he has done. It's blatantly a bit of publicity stunt which he tried to use to his advantage over the last few days, but he knew himself he never really wanted to leave. How futile.

Oh well, after this little drama people are going to find another reason to hate him... especially the Man Citeh fans who bought a Citeh shirt with his name on the back.

[TaxDodger]

I bloody knew he'd stay.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

After all this, he's needlessly alienated a lot of fans. There'll be a lot of Utd fans who'll still be stinging and will still need convincing.

You're assuming Man Utd fans are like us, rather than a bunch of glory hunting arseholes that they are.

I spoke to my Mancunian brother in law this morning and his first reaction as "Great. Hopefully this will now lead to Rooney rediscovering his form". Wait until the next time Rooney plays, they'll be singing his name, like the last few days never happened.

A quick look at the Redcafe forum there are plenty there who are very negative about the charmless, greedy, selfish, face like a cows arse, wealthy twat.
