Oooppss, from the Beeb just now;

Wayne Rooney 'will not sign new Manchester United deal'

Ferguson named Rooney as a substitute against West Brom
Manchester United have been informed that Wayne Rooney will not sign a new contract with the club, according to reports from the Press Association.

The 24-year-old striker's current deal runs out in the summer of 2012 and it is understood negotiations over a new contract have broken down.

There has been speculation that Rooney will be sold in the January transfer window, with Real Madrid interested.

However, United's response was to label that claim as "nonsense".

More to follow.

24?? That twat is this young, still? He looks 35.
 
Owen, by this time had achieved more personally. He may not have had as much in terms of team medals, but he had scored more and also won the European player of the year by this stage. He also had scored and done more in International football.

So if Rooney's career peters out from here, who do you think would have the claim for the better career?

rooney by a mile. 3 titles, a european cup, PFA player of the year.

but there's not a chance rooney's career is just going to peter out for absolutely no reason at the age of 24!
 
Monday night football on Sky and surprise,surprise Keys has said they wont discuss the Rooney issue.

Ferguson obviously had a word and they are worried about getting the BBC treatment. If it was one of ours though that hairy cunt would be only too happy to make a big issue out of it.
 
You're not kidding.

Incidentally I noticed at the weekend that Ferguson is STILL putting Phelan up to do his BBC interviews. WTF does that sozzled old cnut have to do to get his @rse properly kicked for once?
 
Fine the fucker increasing amounts till he complies and show him that he's up against a bigger bully for once, like those two Irish fellas did.

Or just make a point of mocking him every time he doesn't show up.

The caption of "Mike Phelan, Assistant Manager" should be followed by "Only here cos Fergie is a bitter aul cunt"
 
Or do what they did on "Have I Got News For You" when Roy Hattersley messed them about, and put a tub of lard - or, better yet, a whisky bottle - on screen instead of him.
 
Ha! A typo when slagging off the home of typos :laugh:

"Grauniad"

I wouldn't rule out a move to Citeh. Regardless of his family ructions Rooney will have a job settling anywhere too far away from Liverpool or the North-West generally and, though he's as thick as three short planks, he doesn't have to be intelligent to know he'll be homesick.

I would, because there's not a chance in hell he'd go there

Manchester United in shock as Wayne Rooney targets move to City

• England striker prepares to force explosive move
• City ready to take advantage of turmoil at United

Daniel Taylor guardian.co.uk, Monday 18 October 2010 23.01 BST Article history


Wayne Rooney is increasingly open to the idea of completing the most rancorous and staggering transfer of modern times by leaving Manchester United for Manchester City.

He has informed United he has no intention of signing a new contract and is ready to contemplate following Carlos Tevez's path across Manchester and the potential minefield and recriminations of swapping one club for the other.

Carlos Ancelotti, the Chelsea manager, confirmed today that he would be interested in Rooney if he could establish any sense on the player's part that he would be willing to move to Stamford Bridge. But the reigning Footballer of the Year is leaning more towards City, acutely aware of the potential riches of joining the wealthiest club in England.

Although a perception has built that he wants to move to Spain, he has told team-mates that City, not Real Madrid or Barcelona, is the more realistic destination. Rooney has come to dislike aspects of life in England, specifically the media intrusion, and is open-minded about moving abroad, but there are other issues.

His wife, Colleen, is reluctant to be apart from her 12-year-old sister, Rosie, who suffers from the brain disorder Rett syndrome and whose condition worsened in the week after newspaper allegations appeared of Rooney having a relationship with a prostitute.

City, in turn, have decided they should do everything they can to take advantage of the player's breakdown in relations with Sir Alex Ferguson. Brian Marwood, City's football administrator, has a long?standing relationship with Rooney's adviser, Paul Stretford, and close ties with the player, having previously worked in a senior position at Nike, one of Rooney's sponsors.

City are under pressure to reduce their wage bill to meet Uefa's financial fair-play requirements but they are relaxed about the issue and believe there are ways around it. If, for example, they were to lure Rooney away from Old Trafford on a salary of £250,000 a week they could recoup around two-thirds of that by selling, to name but two, Roque Santa Cruz and Craig Bellamy.

"We hadn't discussed signing Rooney until the last week because we never thought he would be available, just like we have never discussed signing Lionel Messi from Barcelona," one senior figure at Eastlands told the Guardian. "Now we know he wants to leave United we're obviously going to monitor it closely."

Rooney is on record in April saying that he had no interest in joining City and he knows that he would face the same allegations that have been directed towards Tevez, namely of treacherous disloyalty and greed.

United's supporters would also argue that moving to City is a step down but an alternative argument has been presented to Rooney comparing the huge wealth and ambition at Eastlands at a time when his current club are no longer in the market for established category-A players because of the financial issues that accompany their ownership under the Glazers. Rooney is said to share supporters' concerns that United will not have the financial muscle to compete at the highest level over the next few years.

David Gill, United's chief executive, has been caught out badly by Rooney's decision and was trying to get hold of the player's representatives today to ascertain whether there was anything that could be done to resolve the situation. For now, the message is firmly that Rooney's mind is made up – in part because of the monetary issues but mostly because of his grievances about the way he perceives Ferguson has treated him.

Gill and Ferguson appeared at a Unicef press conference at Old Trafford today but made it clear they would not talk about Rooney. Gill said: "We will say something at a more appropriate time, and this is not an appropriate time."

That may take the form of an official statement before Ferguson, under Uefa guidelines, holds a press conference tomorrow to preview the Champions League tie against Bursaspor on Wednesday. Rooney has 20 months left on his contract and the dilemma for United, if he cannot resolve his differences with Ferguson, is that his transfer valuation is depreciating. In other words, they would get a higher fee selling in January rather than the end of the season.

Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, has been quietly talking up their interest during a series of off-the-record briefings over the past few weeks, but at a press conference today José Mourinho said: "I don't think he will leave. I think Ferguson will persuade him to stay."

As for Chelsea, Ancelotti said: "We'd have to wait to see if Wayne Rooney really wants to leave Manchester United. Secondly, whether United would really want to sell him. And thirdly, if Rooney's on the market it would not just be Chelsea interested, but a lot of teams."

Let's not underestimate Rooney's stupidity... He could go anywhere.

Still, I think he'll stay. Even if he doesn't, I'd let his contract run out as they won't get a penny of any fee to spend anyway.
 
I think he'll stay too. It's too similar to Terry's situation at Chelsea a year or two back when he was happy to talk up the possibility of a move to City as his new contract at Chelsea was being negotiated.

If he did move to City, It would be the funniest transfer ever.
[/quote]

yeah it would! once a blue always a red who wears light blue pyjamas
 
The Belfast Telegraph reckon he could move for as little as £5m, under the Webster ruling where he can buy out the last year of his contract.
He does not mind who he upsets does our Wayne
Lolz

Is anelka still any good?
[/quote]

Very much so.

As a tedious sidenote - Who'd you prefer to have in our team, Rooney or Tevez?
 
That would be good. City sign Rooney, Tevez sees his arse and in a fit of lunacy Carlos agrees to sign for us

[quote author=Paddy link=topic=42299.msg1200437#msg1200437 date=1287445047]
Tevez for me too. He is the EXACT type of player we need in the team.
[/quote]

Yeah, a good one.

That type of player.
