0% Villa: Rooney signs new 5 year contract!

[eastie]

Mirror website carrying world exclusive that Rooney will be sold in January after series of huge rows with sir alex- his contract ends in 18 months and although the mirror are often wrong there seems to be substance to this story.

Cross sir alex and the only way to go is out the door as many have found out in the past.

[TheSandman]

Unless he fancies a move to B6 I'm not interested.

He is woefully out of form anyway.

[KevinGage]

Good.

As much of a twat as he clearly is he's probably just about the only world class player they have left.

Odd scenario when you think of the calibre of player they could probably attract, but not so odd when you think of the monetary constraints under the Glazers. Look at their latest deals post Ronaldo: Obertan, Hernandez, Bebe, Smalling et.c.

Even if they get a tidy sum for selling Shrek there's no guarantee Fergiescum will be allowed to plow it back into sourcing an adequate replacement.

How long he'd put up with United playing second fiddle and not even being competitive in the transfer market remains to be seen, but with one eye on his legacy he might just decide to call it a day sooner rather than later.

I think Fergie is finally starting to lose his grip. The present team isnt one of his very best and surely hes now getting too old to build yet another ?  If Rooney does follow Ronaldho out the door, they could hit a trophyless period in much the same way as Arsenal have ever since Henry and Viera went. What with all Liverpools problems too perhaps the old power bases are finally being broken up. Thats good of course, as long as it doesnt finish up with Chelski and Man City taking it all over.
Hopefully the next few years could be as good a chance as there has been for quite a time for those of us trying to break in to actually do it.

?% Villa?

[eastie]

Eamonn are you one of those people who ring up as well about tv programmes complaining rather than just switching to another channel?

[GullyFoyle]

He should move to London. Better class of hooker.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

East19...Perhaps Eamonn is saying it shouldnt be preceded 0%Villa on the basis that theres a 1% chance of him coming to us ?? 

[darren woolley]

I hope he go's to spain and then watch manure become a average side then.

[Rancid custard]

and with those kind of debts mounting up...

[Clampy]

It's in The Mirror. That's all that needs to be said.

[villa `cross the mersey]

He should move to London. Better class of hooker.

Harlequins, London Irish or Wasps ?

[eastie]

More to it than that clampy , his contract ends in 18 month and he and fergie have fallen out big time according to several different sources, anything that weakens man utd is fine by me.

Beckham, keane, ince, stam , van nistleroy, he's just another to take on sir alex and be shown the door if true and I suspect it is judging by comments made recently and the fact he's not been in the team.

[DrGonzo]

When you consider Beckham was given the big heave-ho for having the temerity to believe himself to be the best player at the club, I would expect Rooney to be on a very final warning about his life style.  This thread is entirely 0% any other English club, he'll be sent overseas, Fergie will not have Rooney turning back up and embarrassing him.

[eastie]

Would be interesting if Rooney refused to move abroad though- with his contract running down would united have to sell him to city or Chelsea or risk him walking away on a free a year later- now that would be embarrassing.
