REVEALED: Wayne Rooney can invoke Article 17 to leave Manchester United for a song

Wayne Rooney could put pressure on Manchester United to sell him by invoking Article 17 of Fifa’s transfer laws and unilaterally quitting his contract next summer.
The so-called ‘Webster ruling’ allowed Scotland’s Andy Webster to quit Hearts for Wigan in 2006, a decision ratified by the Court for Arbitration in Sport. In return he only had to pay Hearts a sum related to the amount of wages left on his contract, or around £150,000.
Rooney is reportedly desperate to leave United.
The last contract deal he did was in November 2006, to keep him at United until 2012.
The “protected period” of that contract under Fifa laws (three years) has already expired, which means Rooney can walk next summer for one year’s wages, or around £4.5m, equivalent to something like a 10th of his market value. Sort of.
This being a relatively new area of football law and tested only a few times so far, it gets much more complex than that.
The ‘Webster ruling’ was followed by the Matuzalem ruling, further ratified by the case of Essam El Hadary, and then muddied by the Morgan De Sanctis case, more of which here.
Which all means Rooney might actually have to pay £10m, or £5m, or another figure. But certainly much less than he’s “worth”. (If he went down this route). He could merely suggest he’s thinking about it to increase his chances of a move.
Tuesday’s Independent will have more coverage on this story.
But the bottom line is Rooney could walk away at a cut price next summer, giving him huge leverage in his attempts to leave – if indeed he still wants to.

So we can give him a 10 mill sign on bonus and pay him big wages due to no transfer fee :O)

but his strike rate overall which if you compare to Carlos
is not all that regardless of the hype surrounding rooney
He's world class - the English media said so!
 
If I was Bert and MCFC (quite clearly I am not) I would bid for Rooney in transfer window. (Personally I don't want him anywhere near our club). He is damaged goods and with the FFP regulations about to bite from the summer window I would make sure I offered the rags a paltry sum that the club could never accept but making sure I leaked the fact we would make him top earner at city. This would exacerbate the rift between player, manager and club even further if nothing else to simply destabalise them as much as I could in the off chance the fuckers didn't make the chumps league. That is all.
 
Transfer him on a free, kneecap the **** and bung him in the Moonchester outfit, he can see out his career at Eastlands shooting T Shirts out of that bazooka thing.
