Manchester United

I think Rooney is a quality player too and there was a time I'd have loved to have him here - but there's no way he has developed into the player he should have. He's more unfulfilled potential than actual brilliance at this stage. Weight and mental issues have stunted his development.

It's a panic deal IMHO -

I read an article that said his basic wont change for his current rate (£250k IIRC ), and the extra is performance related based on "how successful they were under Ferguson", which is a little optimistic... So his wage won't actually increase as they will win bugger all.

Horrendous figures. I think he's the sort who'll be next to useless once his legs go a bit and it wouldnt surprise me if it happens sooner with him that most other players as he's been playing regular since what, 16? Just guesswork but I dont think he'll age well at all.

Even when he was 16, he looked like a 40 year old who had aged badly.

Never in amillion years would he have got a deal half as good as that under Ferguson/Gill.

It creates a lot more problems than it will solve

United stink of desperation. They will spend whatever they can to try stop the freefall. 300 grand a week truly is a disgusting figure.

United's list of 5 potential candidates for the captain next season, according to their official website.

Rooney (suggesting he will be staying)
De Gea
Evans ( )
Phil Jones ( )
Fletcher

Jesus, their squad is terrible! And no RVP...

[Gibbo]

****ing hell

[Rich]

When he turns 30 he's going to find it increasingly difficult to remain fit enough. He's no natural athlete.

[PTP]

why have they put it on their official?

There isn't much of a positive nature for them to report on.

Amateurs.

Rudderless ship with no leaders in the squad. Reminds me of Spurs with a collection of players without a real leader who is a world class player.

At that price per week, he becomes more or less un drop able. Ferguson would have got away with it, Moyes - no way, and I reckon it will be the stick to hit him with later on.

Interesting its 5.5 year, RVp and Ferdinand have highest earner clauses, so Ferdinand gets a 6 month pay hike for doing **** all, plus RVp gets a nice bumper pay rise too
