ROONEY'S NEW CONTRACT

• ROONEY'S NEW CONTRACT

  Good news for anyone who may have been worried about him not having signed yet; the bits where they pay him £300k a week for the next four-and-a-half years and at some point make him captain have been agreed.
  
  Some might argue that's a little disrespectful on United's part, that they should be reciprocating his unbending loyalty with maybe a five or six-and-a-half year deal. After all, he's famed for his fitness so there's really no risk or reason to doubt whether his blistering form this season (9 goals already!) can't be maintained until his 34th or 35th birthday at the very least. But that's Wayne all over, accepting a shorter deal worth just £70m, placing the club's interests above his own...
  
  There are limits to his generosity though, and he won't be putting pen to paper until terms on image rights and other off-field incentives have been negotiated to his satisfaction. Nothing more than a formality, one has to hope, and all being well his continued presence among us should be confirmed within the next week.
  
  What a guy!
  
  UPDATE: He's signed! United do the right thing and lock him down til June 2019!

  So it was a 5-and-a-half year deal after all.
  
  Too bloody right!

  It pretty much smells of desperation, he's not worth £300k a week, but I doubt Moyes wants him to walk out the door either, so a rock and a hard place! TBH, he should have let him go, get a good price and buy some decent players who will actually want to play for and stay at Utd... Obviously I am biased and not a Manc supporter...

  There's no way he'd have got £300k elsewhere, but then he was already on £250k a week, and he was hardly going to accept a paycut.
  
  File under 'statement of intent', on United's part anyway.

  There wasn't a chance in hell he was going to get money like that anywhere else.
  And why try and better yourself as a player when you can just stay put and roll about in money.

  4 and a half years, 300k per week until he's 34, ambassador role when he retires. Urgh. It sends such a horrible message to the rest of the team and youth squad - act a cunt and you'll get rewarded.
  
  That's not even taking into account his shite form of the last few years! He was so poor last season that Sir Alex rightfully put him on the bench for Real Madrid which rejuvenated his desire to leave. Although this season he has probably been our best player next to Januzaj I wouldn't be surprised to see his performances for the rest of the season decline now that he has his pay day. Here's hoping he proves me wrong!
