ALL things Rooney PLEASE! [Merged]

I think he was telling the truth, fergie pulled a top pr stunt turning every man and his dog against rooney!!
Another thought.
This contract wrangling had been going on since March, but it was all under wraps until Rooney mouthed off after the England game about his (lack of) ankle injury.
Now we all know Rooney is thick as pigshit. Could be that this outburst was unscripted (i.e not sanctioned by Stretford) & that brought the whole thing into the public arena.
Or was it all part of the Stretford masterplan?
I wish he was my shop steward!!

Ahh well life goes on, United will still be in there for the title as long as Ferguson's there, as soon as he goes there time is up and a few players will move on.
I'm glad this whole strange affair is over now to be honest.

I don't know who Ajay is or his sources are, whereas I do with Tolmie.
Besides, we are trying to prevent another Ajay situation.

It's just a shame that the level of abuse Ajay received wasn't picked up by any of the mods. I suppose if he was a mate of a mod it would have been different

As part of the Rooney deal. His agent Paul Stretford will get a stand at Old Trafford named after him.

Consider yourselves warned, there will be no other ones.
Read the post I put above, there is absolutely no debate over Tolmie.
Absolutely correct, sir.
Some posters just seem to be jealous that other have sources. I'd never say that I was ITK although I do know 'people' at the club. The point is that even the inside sources don't always know what's going on and, in this instance, there may have been a genuine U-turn by Rooney and Stretford, after seeing how matters developed.
The same posters now criticising Tolmie are probably the ones that want to know all the gossip. And I thought that it was only Rags that were hypocrites.

It seems obvious that he's signed a new contract so that it's feasable to have him play until he's sold, in January or in the summer, for a good price.

I don't see how anyone can see this as a masterstroke by Bacon Face, in the past it's always been his way or the highway, Keane, Beckham, Stam etc.
Now Wayne Rooney basically slates the club for lacking ambition and what does he get? A pay rise and a 5 year contract. Just shows how times have changed, United are no longer the club they were and Fergie can no longer command that much respect. How many other players at United are now going to be considering their position in this new wage structure? All this has truly rocked the boat at the Swamp and is a sign of how the balance of power has shifted in football to the blue side of Manchester. All warming up nicely for the derby me thinks!

The whole debacle couldn't have worked out better!
1 United are stuck with the Glazers
2 The Green and Yellow campign is completely undermined
3 Highlights the amazing hypocrisy of Ushited fans
4 Rooney will be in the spotlight even more than ever - every statement, interview, game analysed to the nth degree - not conjucive getting his form back
5 Lack of trust and respect between him and team mates.
6 They now know he may move from their sinking ship at any time.
7 If they do have to prove their intentions in the transfer market - City and Chelsea will make them pay dear - increasing there enormous debt.
8 Brilliant images of the Nipples in Black outside his house.
9 We don't get an overrated and out of form player.

I'm disappointed, but not becasue I was desperate for him to come here (I was on the fence tbh), BUT because it was so much fun watching the melodramatic hysteria amongst the Man U fans.
My guess is that he wanted to leave becuase he could see they were on a downward slope, but couldn't handle the reaction and backtracked.
The irony is, he will no doubt be on much bigger wages (biggest in the league, according to Ferguson) now, nd there will be even less money left for them to invest in new players .... which I suspect was a genuine concern of his in the first place!
That said, I can see there being an agreement that he can leave in a year or two if he still wants to. Pure speculation on my part.
Hopefully he is a spent force and they will STAY in 4th place, but my guess is that he will come good for them and get a new lease of life - unfortuntely. We shouldn't be afraid of a fair fight though lads 'n' lasses - it would be all the sweeter to finish above them now!!

Re: Merely a smoke screen
This is EXACTLY what it is, gives Jose enough time to off load some players.
So I guess its Torres then.

Ferguson said this about Rooney
So only now does he know what a great club United are? Think the extra money might have helped aswell
Heres a quote from Rooney on MUTV
So basically he he's saying it looked like no-one was showing an interest in him so he decided its best to try and stay or have i read that wrong?
I think Wayne now understands what a great club Manchester United is

Once it came out it looked like there was nowhere
to go & that that was it. But SAF made it clear the door was still open that's when I spoke to my agent and said 'let's go and speak to them and try and resolve it

speaking just for me i can assure(sp?) you
1. i am not jealous ,got nothing to be jealous of
2. if i wanted to know all the gossip i'd be pestering tolmie to give me info and other "itks" and constantly posting in his youtube thread (summer transfer forum)
.but hey i'm just happy rooney is nowhere near our club

Hahaha.
I don't understand why people are having a pop at Tolmie.
If his sources at the club believed that Rooney was coming to City, his "ITK" reports were still completely true.
If the club/Collymore/other journalists have been duped by Rooney/Stretford, we cannot blame our own ITK people for believing the same thing.
I suspect United would have got bugger all for him in January. Surely we'd have offered no more that £20-30m (with 18 months left to go on his contract)
He'll go to Spain in 18 months time.
I hate Mickey Thomas (just wanted to get that off my chest).

Re: Merely a smoke screen
My thoughts exactly, and I said the same thing when the BBC interviewed me outside Old Trafford (I work across the road from it) They realised I was a Blue and asked me if I was disappointed he hadnt signed, I told them my exact thoughts, hes over rated and with his off field antics we never wanted him anywhere near our good club. The lady laughed. So if you see some daft looking blue with a daft spiked quiff and a black jacket on telly later saying something along the lines of above thats me!!
