But how do they know? Is it all done robotically - or do actual human beings look at your posts and make a decision....?
Yes, I saved it on a word document, so here it is!:
Right, this is what I think could happen/should happen, if and it is a big if, Mr and Mrs Rooney put their heads together and think things through.
First of all, let me say this - Wayne is 'only' 30 years old chronologically, but because he got to the top so young (16) he is more like 34/35 in 'footballing' years.
Option a) He moves to China on a mega-deal.... most unlikely to happen because he has a young family and would really struggle with the cultural change involved. He could go to America, that would be more doable, but I don't think the US clubs are spending like the Chinese are.
Option b) Continue at MUFC on his lucrative contract, whilst frustrating fans because he is past his best. Ultimately, in two or three years he finally moves to Everton, with the Utd scoring record on his CV, but a tarnished reputation. A sort of football player version of Arsene Wenger. Until Jose came along, I would have said this is most likely, but now I'm not so sure.
Option c) Jose Mourinho gives him a chance at the start of this coming season, but soon finds the truth of where he is at, physically and by Xmas he is a regular on the subs bench. Wayne decides to finish his career at his starting club (and the team he supports) and asks to be allowed to go back to Everton. As a result, he enjoys his football once more (in their midfield) and most importantly, in a few years he can return to MUFC as a coach or an 'ambassador' - and is welcomed back with open arms.
This final option, would be for the best and having earned big money, over a long period & not just in wages - his face is on the front of one of my football games that I have on Playstation 2! he and his wife* should really consider it.
Man Utd. should not make it impossible for Everton to do this, so should set a nominal transfer fee. To get the £300k per week wage off the books would be a good thing.
Finally, I hope that Sam Alladyce is similarly strong enough to realise that Rooney has had his time with England. Did Alan Shearer not retire from the international football at 31? it would be no shame for Wayne to do the same and without those extra games and the committment it involves, it could enable him to play on until he is 33/34 real years - 37/38 football years!
*I mention Colleen in this, because I don't think Wayne is super-intelligent, although he has done well to get some media training during his career. However, his wife is a successful business woman and he might listen to her.
