He's a step up from the usual city fan - it was only a shirt not a tat.

i figured he needed the extra cash because she's going to divorce him and take him to the cleaners. then somone on guardian's blog said that he and ferguson are in bed(!) and that fergie will offload him next summer for a massive wad of dough.. could it be both?

That is exactly what I reckon Ferguson was pointing towards when he mentioned the 'treating the club with respect' comment t'other day. This way Rooney gets the extra few quid so United can be seen to be still able to match the rich clubs, and if they've decided that it's best that he leaves in the summer that they get what they would consider a decent fee for him.

The "saga" was decided very quickly given some angry comments made. Wouldn't surprise me if he's done a deal similar to the one done with Ronaldo, allowing him to leave in 9 months time for a set fee.

indeed! there is a precedent. i'm almost disappointed he didn't go to city, just to see the drama of the derbies.

I can see him ending up in Italy with all the senior ritas there. Juventus could be contenders, as I don't think Wayne can say no to an old lady. Either there or Roma, I heard he's excited at the prospect of playing with old Totti.

Apparently the Italian clubs will push the boat out to sign him, they are offering up to 200 grans a week.

I wonder why Rooney decided to get a pay hike of �5 million per year, given that it could have been spent on salary of another top player who could help him fulfill his deep-seated ambitions.

Very puzzling indeed.........

It's called taking the P*ss.

Still, 'Agent' Rooney and the ancient red-faced one definitely deserve each others. Pair of *****

I have to quote The Guardian's Barry Glendenning here who's managed to find a comparison between the Rooney/Fergie situation and Frankenstein. "Evil genius v barely sentient simpleton monster who gets notions. Monster wants love, faces down an angry mob and ultimately wins."
