0% Villa: Rooney signs new 5 year contract!

[Dr Butler]

If I were a foreign club I wouldn't hire him. I don't think Wayne Rooney is even good enough to get in Villa team.

So what are your saying if he bought out his contract and said he wanted to play for us because he always had a secret long standing affection for AVFC, and also we didnt need to pay him because hes the guy with the £113 million lottery ticket ?
Would you turn him down flat or at least put him on the bench with Sidwell ?

Wayne Rooney is a lot of things but hardly deserves that !

There is something about him that leads me to believe that he would be from the Ian Rush school of 'fitting in' in another country, he'd be back in a season.

Driving 30 miles along the East Lancs Road to Stretford was a cultural wrench for Rooney. Fuck knows what he'd be like in Spain.

He'd probably be walking around sunburnt in a sombrero, clutching a straw donkey with his England shirt on

We should not gloat nor laugh about Liverpool & Man Utd imploding.  Oh, go on then...

[Hookeysmith]

This getting really funny now - love the wanker tourist fans ringing in on talk Shite

Their arrogance knows no bounds - one of the our drivers is one- i  stated that United are on the downward spiral of no money and selling their best players and i thought "Dave the glory hunter from Norfolks" head was going to explode

Interesting how he always claimed that United fans treated ex players returning with respect more than any other club - but now Rooney is just a scouse c*** and we should never have bought him

Ha ha ha

[Chris Jameson]

Don't know if it's been mentioned already but Rooney is obviously a proud Scouser and i've often wondered how he feels playing for a club whilst the supporters constantly remind everybody just how much they truly hate Scousers? Although why anybody living in Norway or Devon feels so strongly about the people of Liverppol is a mystery.

It was recently reported that he insisted on his sons nursery being adorned with Evertonian furnishings.

At the end of the last home game last season during the parade around the pitch at Old Trafford, Rooney had his son in a red England strip.  I'm sure to the fans in the stands it would have looked like a Man U kit.

Rooney would never play for Liverpool but I'm sure he would be more than happy to play for man city and I think he will go to city .

Rooney off, Neville, Giggs, van der Sar and Scholes on their way out, weakest squad in years, crap owners, massive debt, empty seats appearing, it's not looking good for the Manc shite is it? Come and join us in 6th-10th, and we'll see how many of their glory hunting fans disappear then.

They'll still attract and damned sight more than we would. Or could.

They've always had big crowds, even when they went down. But saying that, should this turmoil prove to be the start of a decline, it remains to be seen just how many Johnny Come Latelys or even the genuine support will still turn up every week to pay £50 for the privilege of watching a side battle it out for the top four.

[peter w]

I'd still guess at 50/60 000.

I think the 50,000 plus is about right and it is still a huge crowd. But given their debt problems, the loss of twenty to twenty five thousand on their gate will have on their finances could be catastrophic.

I know that, but we don't profess to be the biggest club in the world do we? Every one of their home games this season has gone to general sale which NEVER used to happen, a lot of their glory hunters are losing interest already. Also i wouldn't want us to get 76,000 crowds if they contained fans like theirs, their home games are full of JCL's, daytrippers, foreigners etc. and i wouldn't want that at VP, the atmosphere is already crap enough as it is.

It is a double edged sword really. You need the Day Trippers for the finance they provide and to be in a position to compete. However, they’ll also drive up ticket prices so you’ll be paying more for the pleasure and ultimately the club can turn round and say that you’re paying for a successful side.
