Jype 6,398 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Can't believe they are about to fall for the good old 'transfer request -> apology -> new contract with bigger wages' trick once again. I honestly thought he wanted to leave for footballing reasons this time around but guess not if he's now willing to sign an extension. Fair play to Rooney though, not everyone has the balls to pull off a stunt like that even once, let alone twice. This kind of stuff really does reflect poorly on United because they're simply letting the world know Rooney is bigger than the club. If they let one player blackmail the club like that, what's stopping their other star players from doing the same whenever they think they deserve more money?

Steagles 70 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Good. Let them overpay for him. I'll take Mata feeding a learning and improving Romelu Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Apparently his gettin a new contract now. I have a feeling we have just been used to get a contract extension. Please close the thread now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Skeptical about this supposed 'contract offer'. I mean Ferguson is still on the board at United, I don't see him sanctioning that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they let one player blackmail the club like that, what's stopping their other star players from doing the same whenever they think they deserve more money?To be fair..the only other 'star' player in terms of wages on United's team is Van Persie. If some other player tried to blackmail the club, they'd be sold.I don't know whether Rooney is bigger than their club...but he never seemed likely to be sold. Just imagine the fans reaction if Rooney was sold..particularly when you consider that Moyes has failed to land a single player in this transfer window....

Parky 739 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He fooled us and even worse he fooled Mourinho like a pro.Well played Rooney...Well played...His still a ugly fat cunt though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose M 140 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Call me foolish, but I won't believe Rooney will not leave United till I see quotes. Either directly from him or from the United board. The fact that Mou has showed his hand and wants the player so badly still gives me hope we can steal Wazza from Old Trafford. Eto will NOT be the answer to our forward problems. Its about time Lukaku is rewarded for his hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1611 77 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Eight hours left and Rooney still hasn't come out and said anything. Looks like it's over imho.Can't wait till this thread is finally locked....wasted time browsing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 This Shrek´s saga was wasting time by Jose & all concerned. The Shrek refused to put in transfer request a month ago.Right then, Jose should have paid more attention to it.Much time was wasted on this Shrek.

Roquila 1,335 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Seems like Mourinho got played! That's what i thought too but.... It's Jose Mourinho we are talking about.I think there is more in this saga, maybe a camouflage by Mou? Keep in mind that this saga kept Moyes busy, he didnt sign any player(he signed one but not for the first team i think), he unsettled Rooney.Mourinho is a smart guy and he knows what he is doing, he talked to the Media like he is 100% sure Rooney will sign with Chelsea but why? He knew that if Rooney doesn't sign he would look like a fool.Conspiracy theory? NO! I read this saga as a Master-stroke from Jose, maybe people don't share the same opinion as me but that's why opinions exist.See that Rooney shoot he took from 25yard? He could have just passed it to RVP for a safe goal but he took the shoot instead. WHY? He wanted to prove something and that wasn't the only shoot he took.Maybe Jose WANTED to unsettle Rooney and Moyes and that's what he obviously got.Or maybe.... He simple got played as Rmpr said.Keep in mind, thats only my opinion and since i have spare time i thought i can draw something from this Saga that sounds bizzare one way but plausible the other way.

Christo191 173 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Seems like Mourinho got played! Don't fool, you'r selfs it is the other way around! No body can play theese games better, than Jose, that's why he is so loved and hated the same time! Especially now that the big ugly red nose is gone! Every interview he has given, every pressconference, every word of it is well and carefully desplayed, spoken and was thinked through! Tha't is one of the parts' he is beening payed for, and every year he is in Chelsea he will become richer with 10 mill more!I apologise for my spelling!
