for 300k a week wouldn't you be. 

 

plus what other club would put up with his unprofessional behaviour off the pitch and him pouting like a little bitch everytime he wants a pay rise.

 

What unprofessional behaviour in particular?

 

Don't most contract extensions result in a payrise?

 

Id say handing in two transfer requests is up there

Not even that. Ronaldo "wanted away" twice as well yet people still hang if his nutsack. He also compared playing for Manchester United to being a slave but we'll forget about that coz he's a good player.

I'm more on about the fact that Roomey spends his spare time fucking whores done old enough to be his grandmother and trying his best to become morbidly obese in footballing terms.

As I said asking for pay rises is playing the game especially when the club take great delight in telling everyone how much money they make every year.

The new deal agreed by Rooney is the biggest in the history of the Premier League

Clive Rose/Getty Images

Wayne Rooney will become the highest-paid player in Premier League history when he signs a new £86 million contract with Manchester United this week.

The England striker will finally end speculation about his future by putting pen to paper on a new 5½-year deal worth about £300,0000 a week that will tie him to Old Trafford until June 2019, a few months shy of his 34th birthday.

Rooney, 28, is not due to return from a warm-weather training break in Dubai with United until this evening, but a deal has been agreed in principle by all parties and is expected to be signed formally tomorrow or Wednesday.

The news represents a significant boost to David Moyes at a time when the United manager is under growing pressure, with the club in danger of failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League, and ends any lingering hopes that José Mourinho had of enticing the player to Chelsea.

With Nemanja Vidic, the United captain, due to leave the Barclays Premier League champions when his contract expires at the end of the season, Moyes is expected to hand the armband to Rooney once the defender has departed.

Having initially resolved to delay a decision on his future until later in the season or after the World Cup finals in Brazil this summer amid interest from Chelsea and concern about United’s prospects of finishing in the top four, Rooney’s thinking has changed in the past month.

By committing the rest of his best playing days to United, Rooney, who was the subject of two failed bids from Chelsea last summer, is well placed to eclipse Sir Bobby Charlton’s record of 249 goals for the club. His tally stands at 208.

The development is also likely to prove a fillip for Roy Hodgson, the England manager, who may have been concerned that uncertainty around his talisman’s future could have been a source of distraction in the lead-up to the World Cup.

With United 11 points adrift of Liverpool, in fourth, and rated only as outsiders to win the Champions League, there is a strong likelihood that they will not be competing in Europe’s premier club competition next season.

As such, Rooney’s desire to commit his future, coupled with the arrival last month of Juan Mata, the Spain playmaker, for a club-record £37.1 million fee from Chelsea, are likely to be influential factors for Moyes as he bids to persuade potential world-class recruits to join the club.

Moyes is targeting about six new arrivals this summer, depending on how many players depart, and Edward Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, has already admitted that the club could spend “in a way that perhaps we haven’t seen in recent years”.

With Rio Ferdinand expected to follow Vidic out of the club, uncertainty over the futures of Patrice Evra, Javier Hernández, Shinji Kagawa, Nani and Anderson among others, and Ryan Giggs considering retirement, a summer of significant upheaval is expected at Old Trafford.

Evra has triggered a clause in his contract, by virtue of starting 25 league matches this season, that gives him the option of extending his deal by a further 12 months to June next year, although United are also thought to hold an option on the Frenchman.

Robin van Persie, the Holland striker, will enter the final two years of his contract this summer, as talk about his reputed unhappiness refuses to go away, despite the player and Moyes’s insistence that there are no issues.

United are keeping a close watch on Edinson Cavani, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, and Luke Shaw, the Southampton left back, as well as an array of midfielders, including Ilkay Gündogan and Marco Reus at Borussia Dortmund, Toni Kroos, of Bayern Munich, William Carvalho at Sporting, Paul Pogba, of Juventus, and Luka Modric at Real

See that's the issue right there. Who should be captain. We are all agreed that Rooney shouldn't be considered but the short list isn't particularly strong.

I said a few pages ago who's on the pitch giving players stick when passes get careless, when people are out of position, when people aren't giving 100%

The mental and psychological make up of this squad is pathetic when compared to past squads.

Ddg

Rafael

Evans

Smalling

Jones

Buttner

Carrick

Cleverly

Young

Valencia

Mata

Kagawa

Januzaj

None of them are leaders

Compare to the 99 or 94 squads and we have yet another problem with the team right now.

Fletcher, RVP or Rooney.......

Fletcher is lucky to be playing and in the same way people question whether people would wanna come play for Moyes, would top players look from outside and have respect for Fletcher's on field ability. (He is very respected by all accounts within the squad)

I'll be surprised if RVP is about by the end if next season so it isn't the longevity option. (Just a hunch)

Rooney, Long standing squad member, whether we like it or not he's the marquee player.....

Jones and Evans could grow into that stature but they could also go the way of Wes Brown and John O'shea respectively.

I would say that its more of a modern football thing when talking about the lack of leaders in our team

 

In other big teams how many players would you say are leaders?

 

Man City - Kompany and Toure

 

Chelsea - Terry and Lampard

 

Even at other big European clubs, how many leaders really stand out?

 

Technical players on the whole seem to be more talismanic rather than a leader imo

 

Football has changed from the Viera/Effenberg/Keane/Davids etc days

 

Fletcher would be suitable in an ideal world, but I dont think we can rely on him like that nor even expect him to start week in week out

Difference is Chelsea and city also have players who could lead by example.

Kompany, Toure, Hart, Aguero, Silva, Zabaleta the way Fernandinhio plays will inspire the plays round him too.

Lampard Terry Cole, Cech, Ivanovic. All potential leaders and players to look to in hard times.

People used to say Arsenal were mentally weak when they still had Campbell Lehman, Viera, Henry Pires I wish we had that much influence.

Couple that with a "hesitant" manager......

Also anyone else worried by Woodward's comments about how "other teams have gone 7/8 years without winning a trophy and still remain successful financially" ?

the last time Rooney won a player of the month award was January 2010

 

Cant be true, surely

 

and

 

Throwback

 

 

I've always said that playing up front - obviously with two up - is my favourite position.

 

Makes sense about him complaining to fergie about changing from wing play, seeing that comment from him again
