0% Villa: Rooney signs new 5 year contract!

[Banganappa]

I'd still guess at 50/60 000.

Agreed - I remember when we were promoted with them in the 70's from the old second division - they were called the "red army" in part because of the trouble they caused but mainly because there was gazillions of them. They are a massive club and will be well followed however they perform on the pitch.

[The Situation]

Haha, has anyone seen the favourite odds as to where Rooney will go? Of course you have the obvious teams like Real Madrid, Man City, Chelsea, AC Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter Milan... then Totnumb! So from going from a joke of a club they're now somehow part of the elite clubs of the world? Wow lol, they could never afford him.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see where he goes, quite a few 'football pundits' aka shit ex-players think he's going to Citeh. I'm not too sure though, I would of thought he wants to get away from Manchester ASAP; however, if he does though it'd be a massive transfer in football and just think of how insane and moronic Man City fans will become from wanting Rooney's leg broken and him being 'overrated' to him being their 'saviour' with the dumb sounded "ROOOOOONEH" chants.

First Ronaldo, now Rooney... can United recover?! It's like the Miami Heat losing both D-Wade and LeBron.

Ian Holloway's gone off on one about Rooney and the Bosman ruling.

I agree with him but why's it a big deal all of a sudden?  Because the self-styled Biggest Club In The World have had their toes trod on?  I don't recall any injustices of the Bosman law being brought up when they signed Mark Bosnich. 

Ajax had the best team in the world in the mid-90s and they were torn apart by this, because all their top players went off to Spain, Italy and England on free transfers where they could earn more money.

Spurs to be fair are 25/1 to sign him. To put that in context we are 16/1 to win the fa cup.

Rooney's had some visitors round his house tonight apparently.

No, it's really not Ian.

Letter in today's Times:

I note that Wayne Rooney's deals include a £3.55 million contract for five books over twelve years.
I do hope that this amount of reading will not prove detrimental to his other activities.

He's just signed a 5 year deal at Man United.

He's just signed a 5 year deal at Man United.

How bizarre.

I wonder if that's some deal he's done with them to safeguard the fee they'd get for him, but with clauses in to let him move on if a certain offer came through.

That's probably too Machiavellian.

It's also exactly what I thought

[BILL DE VALL]

as black Sabbath said MOB RULES!

he decided he didn't want the hassle?

[Somniloquism]

He wasn't in the house when the crowd were outside, his missus was though I believe. I wonder if she had a go at him to stop all this and he kind of owes her.

His agent got the pay rise he was angling for then
