Man Yoo can't afford Torres unless they get big money for Rooney (£30m plus) and then all of that money is used for Torres. Part of, if not all the money for Rooney will be used to service the debt, they got away with it when they sold Ronaldo because they got a huge amount, this time will be different.
Unless they clear their debt, Man Yoo spending more than £5 million on a player will be a thing of the past.
One place he would never go is Italy though, the way they really get into the personal lives of the players, and how professional they expect the players to be in their lifestyle etc. wouldn't suit him at all. I think Man City is the only viable option moneywise, plus if I was a manager I wouldn't want him now, as he seems to think he is bigger than the teams he is put in.
Wonder what he'll come out and say now? "Oh i never really wanted to leave".
It's funny how 2 days ago according to him, United lacked ambition and couldn't sign the top players any more, now stick a few extra grand on his wage packet, and suddenly all is well in the world.
I genuinely think the greedy c*nt wanted to go but has been shocked at the backlash he's received and had second thoughts.
both sides playing a game of bluff. Game over now so everyone is happy.
Lots of egg on the face of journo's who lapped up the spin from inside Old Trafford about him being finished, wanting to leave, family issues, blah, blah, blah.
Very clever Fergie, very clever Rooney's agents. Just all bargaining ploys.
Very commendable that Rooney has stayed at Man Ure for £150,000 a week and not been lured across the city for double that amount. It just shows that not all footballers are greed driven.
I read that the ex vacuum salesman who is Rooneys agent stood to gain £5 million if he tranferred abroad, but only £500,000 if he stays at Man U Half a mill for getting someone else to sign a piece of paper? Crkey
I wonder how long his new contract will be. If only there was some information published somewhere
What a weird situation, 2 days ago he said they lacked ambition now he signs a new deal.
Maybe he will still be sold but this ensures United get more money (Ronaldo staying for an extra season) and so Rooney doesn't walk out for nothing in 18 months time.
Something pretty dramatic has clearly happened over the last 24 hours to make Rooney change his mind. My view is that he realised his only option in England was to go to City and he figured out that the move was not sensible. This was not a set up, Ferguson only went public with this because he thought he had lost Rooney already.

It's all been sewn up long ago and it's just a case of the various parties trying to spin it their way between now and Jan.

Although Ajax or Sparta Prague might be worth a shout.
From an English prespective, i would love to see Rooney playing for a foriegn club, or a foreign style of play.
Hamburg would be a solid option as well
