Will be a huge mistake we as a football club will regret for years to come.
Not long ago we were Utd's main rivals for the EPL & whenever the two teams clashed we always had fiesty characters to spice it all up (Viera & Keane, Fergie & Wenger, Keown & Van Nistelrooy).
At that time any loss, either home or away, was felt deeply, thereby creating a sort of El Classico atmosphere of local pride & bragging rights at stake.
That is why it is extremely dumbfounding that we are even contemplating sell our prized asset to Utd. I just cannot believe that we have sunk to the point of acknowledging that Utd are our superiors by basically giving them more ammunition they need to increase the gap btw our two clubs.
Tbh i would we sold RVP to City. They are an emerging force in the EPL & will need to win the title at least 10 more times before they can begin to dream of saying they have a better trophy history to us. Plus our fans are not (yet) in direct banter with City fans, so selling another key player to them would probably not lead to a bunch of fans making fun of us the way Utd fans would do if we became stupid enough to sell RVP to them.
Utd & Fergie, even in the worst financial crisis, will not sell Rooney or any other key player to Arsenal. It just doesnt make any football sense.
RVP to Man Utd

"It MAY have been..."
So you are speculating?
------------------------------
I never once stated it was fact, only stated fact that he refused to sign contract and handed in transfer request. It could be 220 or 250 which some articles also state, if anything 200 seems to be the consistant 'mean' of all figures speculated.
Unless your alex fugurson, or Rooney is your dad, or sleeping with his agent, you aint really gonna know how much he is on. Do you know any wage of any Man U player 100%, no i didnt think so.

The point is MUFC declared that it was the same contract and this is by far the most credible source.
I'm pretty sure some of the more credible broadsheets explain the 250k includes image rights ect.

Really where? Link? Source?
I dont think it will say the 'SAME' contract but he has signed 'A' contract.
Why would they say he has signed the 'SAME' contract. Would be ret@rd3d IMO, as far as they are concerned, contract is a contract, and the rest is no ones business. So the 'SAME' contract you are on about, i dont think exists.
But a link to http://www.manutd.com stating that, and I will stand corrected.
Otherwise the word 'full of 5h it' comes to mind

So we have to use United's official website but you can use united fanclubs and the daily mail to agree with you?
There's a press conference on Youtube, I'll try find it when I'm out of work.

2mins into press conference Fergie states that David Gill was prepared to offer Rooney a new contract but that no financials were discussed during negotiations - find that hard to believe.
Fergie indicates goes as far to state thatthe contract would be hard to beat elsewhere which indicates financials were discussed.

Rooney confirming on MUTV that he agreed to sign a new five year deal.
Given that the above Rooney interview was carefully constucted by MUTV, it is obvious from the content that it was an improved deal given he had handed in a transfer request after turning down the inital offer.
Can we all move on now...
Doubt it

In that it doesnt say he agreed the 'SAME' contract though? It doesnt mention how much he was on, and how much he got offered. That interviews would state he was on te same 80k contract from Everton? Which we all now isnt the case.
Just that financials were not dicussed, which is bolleck5, cause its a bloody contract, off course they were dicussed, unless utd players play for packets of chewits and 15 mins fun time in the showers.
LOL
By the way Santa isnt real, tooth fairies dont exist, and Elvis is alive.
Dont cry all at once.

Don't need to know to make my point. point being he was offered contract, refused, handed in request, offered new terms, and signed u turn. the precise figures are irrelevant. we know he held the club ransom, with threatening to leave, and won.
my other point is during all this, all the fans I know said feck off, on boards like this whilst bricking it mentally.
