Agreed, if anyone is going to spend it well, it is likely to be Moyes.

sell rooney as quick as possible.....if it be man city let it be them. hopefully utd will have some of the money to spend then gotta get snieder,bale and tevez if he is unhappy at an city. then we might be challenging again. if be true i would love us to just swap rooney with snieder as he will make more goals and score aswell. gotta try get bale next ryan giggs (maybe better)

He wasted a fair bit on Andy Johnson who i think was around £8 million, Saha wouldn't have been cheap, Yakubu has generally been poor at Everton, he's had quite a few injuries as well. He played well at the weekend but you can count his good performances on one hand, his goal record has been poor at Everton considering what they paid for him.

James Beattie is another where i think they paid around £6 to £7 million for him, Richard Wright wasn't cheap as well back in 2002.

Saha was pretty much a free IIRC. They got a good fee back for Johnson and he did quite well. Yakubu has been decent when fit.

Andy Johnson, just 17 goals in 61 appearances for Everton... Hmmmm. As for Yakubu, he cost Everton over £11 million, thats a huge amount of money for Everton to spend on a player and the return should be a lot better than "decent when fit". He's scored just 24 goals in 73 league appearances.

To be honest, I don't particularly want Rooney at City
He comes with a lot of baggage (Grannies, ladies of the night, attitude, his general off field behaviour)
His injuries are causing concern, having trouble shaking of an ankle injury. For a player who has pace as a big attribute, it's a worry.
Did he really gel with Muttley (Tevez) in their last season together?
He's not had 1 decent game since March
I'd like to see Balotelli given a long run in the side
I want Adebayor to get his lazy finger out, and prove his £25 mil transfer fee. At the moment, he simply isn't.
I don't want City to service United's debt.

Let Real have him

Balo back in full training now alongside Kolarov mate .

Ade days are numbered IMHO .

You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think we'll get anywhere near them three. We've already had a chance of getting two of them on the cheap. But Fergies lies of the squad being good enough and no value in the market are coming home to roost. Take a look at the team from last night, that is the future for us.

Hopefully Rooneys comments will wake some of the ostriches in our support whether they are the real reason for him leaving or not.

Let him rot in the reserves, no one player should be able to hold a club to ransom. United should keep him, force him to train with the 16s at 9pm at night and cut off all of his support structures.

Not a united fan but really stand on the clubs side in this, stroppy petchulant players and their agents have far too much power and are ruining the game.

Just like happened in the banking crisis, football is going to go bang with clubs like united, city, liverpool and newcstle going bust. The current debts and wage structure cant be continually allowed to rise at the rate that it is.

There needs to be a salary cap brought in but only FIFA would be able to force it through, the Spanish, Italians and English would never willingly agree to it, in fact the 'big' clubs would probably carry out their threat of creating a super mega league, sod em, let them get on with it. FIFA should then ban all those players that want to be involved in the NEW league from all FIFA competiton which i'm sure would reign them in.

FIFA needs to pull its finger out, Blatter acts weak yet has the potential to change the game for the better so easily.

He will hardly be rotting though, he will be pocketing his high wages every week and laughing at United in the knowledge that if they do really burn their bridges by doing that, he will just wait until his contract expires in 2012, and given that he will be a free agent his ability to negotiate wages will be astronomical. If a club would be willing to pay £30m to Man United to get him, then if they wait till he's free and pay him a £25m sign on fee before they start looking at wages, then they're still £5m better off. Rooney knows the closer it gets to the end of his contract the more he maximises his own chunk of what his next club pay out for him, at the expense of what United will get. Sol Campbell did it to Spurs but he was careful not to burn his bridges until the end, by using the guise "I signed a contract and will honour it till the end"

Not a fan of football, but I like Holloway. He says it how it is, and isn't holding back there.

Born a chav, always a chav - with or without money

staying at United...... just signed a five year deal

haha.... cue all the united fans saying he is world class again

Never doubted him.

Stam
Beckham
Ronaldo

Proof that United can be successful without "irreplaceable" players. As Fergie once said....no player is bigger than the club. Rooney has just realised he needs United more than United need him!

I new he was always going to stay, just wanted to make a fuss to make Sir Alex realise he needs to bring more big names in or he will lose him.

Have they been successful since Ronaldo left?

missed out last year on the main 3 prizes... ended up with the reserve cup.

Holloway is the end of a bell. He's just a "rent a funny quote" media whore (SoccerAM etc)
Since the start of Bosman, players have said to their clubs that they wont sign another contract, citing that the club lacked their (the player's) ambition. Where was Holloway then, wringing his hands and shouting at the cameras at that clubs plight......nowhere to be seen. Holloway's come out with this b011ock5 because he wants to ingratiate himself with Taggart.PATHETIC.

Well Rooneys signed a 5 year deal with Man Utd. WTF has this week been all about???

How dare you insult the best manager in the world :O Sea Sea Seasiders

Its called negotiating tactics..... Rooney was playing the media (sad stupid muppets went along with him as well)..... United wasnt backing down..... He didnt get everything he wanted but got enough to be able to "back-down".

Can you imagine this amount of fuss if, say, Martin Gleeson said "I dont want to play at Warrington, I can get more money at Wigan and more success at Wigan" ? If the media dont give a damn about the sport its lucky to make the inside back pages!
