Fantastic news. Obviously had no intention of going City - just used them to get a new deal. They must be furious.

WTF? Thatcame way out of the blue, what is going on?

I'm sure we'll manage.

City thought they had a deal. Rooney has done a U-Turn and signed an improved contract. Think City are miffed, but we can't declare that we are because that would mean admitting tapping him up.

I found out this morning and posted it on the footy thread, but Lyle posted over it with some shite about Jonjo Shelvey being the future of Liverpol

What are your thoughts mate?

Rooney: "In the last couple of days, I’ve talked to the manager and the owners and they’ve convinced me this is where I belong"

"The fans have been brilliant with me since I arrived and it’s up to me through my performances to win them over again"

Fergie: “Sometimes, when you’re in a club, it can be hard to realise just how big it is. I think Wayne now understands."

[skel1983]

Very odd indeed mate, considering the club had known about his intentions for the last 8 weeks and he does a u turn a few days after it hits the press?

I think maybe we have persuaded him to stay for the time being with the promise of some big players coming??

Then if nothing materiailzes then maybe let him go in a year or so with him being tied up us getting alot more money and he having his wish?

Just odd that he has changed his mind now.

So it had nowt to do with Coleen and the pack of rabid fans encamped outside his mansion last night

I do think he had genuine concerns though. I don't buy the theory that he was just looking for a pay-rise. It'll all be forgotten once he starts scoring again anyway. He's a quality player, but he's no Jonjo Shelvey.

He had already agreed the deal before the incidents last night.

I think this is bollocks I don' buy it at all how can he change his ming in a few days after giving his intentions to United on August 14th.

I honestly think Fergie and Gill have told him he owes United and if he don't sign he won't be playing for the first team again, so basically sign the contract United get more money with the transfer fee, I would put money on him going in the summer.

Probably not, because Wayne and Coleen have been staying in Mersyside for the past week mate.

Fuckin' hell, he's come out of this looking worse than Ashley Cole. No mean feat.

[Mattyhitman]

Funny as fcuk !!!


Just seems strange that 2 days ago he comes out with a statement about wanting to leave then complete U-turn after the fans kick off, similar thing happened in Liverpool with Stevie G. Will the other players at Utd forgive him for his actions, also the fans, how will they react when he plays his next game

[ono]

That's a reporter mate. He's not an actual City fan. Thankfully.

Edit: It's also photoshopped. The entrance to the club is covered in scalves and flowers in rememberance to Big Mal, and has been all week.
