Wayne Rooney

[duo11bluecl 207]

Would be funniest shit ever if they don't qualify for CL next season as well haha, imagine him wanting out and no one is willing to pay 30-40m and £300k. Basically he just fucked up his chance of ever competing at very top of the game probably. Got to say he got good raping skill, raped the club twice and both time successfully got away with his crime+still got the pleasure he wanted.

This guy is the most overrated player in existence, if he has a few good games in a row he's already being talked about by pundits how hes one of the best in the league.

I'm just glad we have Hazard.

Captaincy is fuck all.

I bet it would be for him. He wants to feel like he's the king of the castle. We saw what playing second fiddle to RvP did to him last season. Now he'll be on more money, know that United were desperate to keep him, and they'll give him captaincy to make him feel like the big man on campus.

I'm also sure they've insured him that they'll be making some huge signings this summer. Whether Moyes can attract those is a different story. Let's hope not. Without CL football next season if they can still sign a few world class players they'll have way fewer matches than the rest of the big clubs and it can be like Liverpool this season. Lots of rest between matches and full focus on the league.

Rooney getting contracts with massive wages could well cause problems for United down the road. Every big player at the club will likely to demand high wages from them next time whenever they negotiate a new contract and United would then find themselves in a spot of bother. They might have to bow down to their demands or sell them off at a cheap.

Utd got played by Rooney once again, they have to be so fuckin desperate.

Remember when Lampard got his 4 year extension at Chelsea with 150k until he was 33 years old. that looks like a monumental bargain right now.

So happy, never wanted him here...

Is he best paid player ever?

[calculatingInfinity 1,446]

Good, long ass contract that should hopefully end Chelsea's interest completely (well until next year when he gets unhappy again and gets a 350k contract lol). Chelsea should go for something better than him.

Yes. Highest paid player in the league, twice!

close the thread.

@didierforever, you gotta do better than that if you want to be a forum staff in the future.

Sorry for beign slight off-topic, but if I'm counting correctly Rooney is now best paid player in the world? really not sure but CR(as best paid) is making something about 17m€ per year without bonuses(not sure how much is that) and Rooney is 300k p/w *4 * 12 is 14,4mŁ, well 1 GBP = 1.2168 € so it's 17,5m per year... Am I totally wrong or united is really that stupid?

Ronaldo is apparently earning 270k p/w wages while Messi is 250k.

And moved that post to this thread (which have been moved from the Transfer Talk section) so that you lads all can continue any discussion about Rooney. (cc @Kezza)

Well we should wish them good luck paying all that without CL(maybe even EL) football, interesting how deep they fell in half season, moyes is really better than jose as noted by some MU fans in summer

From Cantona's £10,000-a-week deal to Rooney's new £300,000 contract... how the Premier League's highest wage has soared

Homeboy has to pay for his hair treatments. I get it.

Looking at gross figures is one thing, looking at net is another. England has very high taxes, the highest in Europe (or even the world?) or so I've heard. So 300K p/w in England is not the same as 300K p/w in Spain. I wouldn't be at all surprised if CR got more money on his account every week despite having lower gross salary.
