Rooney out, Sergio Aguero in.



Simples!

Exactly which is why Higuain plays an Benzema doesn't an there's noway they'd swap him. Fergie has apparently had an interest in benzema for a while an Madrid would probably be keen to offload so it would make sense.

He's obviously been tapped up, fair play to the bloke if he thinks he cannot live off the 300 grand a week he currently pockets at Old Trafford. I was disgusted to see he takes home 768 grand a month in image rights on top of his weekly wage, if he needs the extra £££s City can offer then he has serious problems.



Enjoy it Wayne, hope you enjoyed your last 20 minutes in a United shirt last saturday

Why any United fans are angry, or surprised, by this is beyond me - remember once a blue, always a blue?

I can't believe either why United fans are so suprised that he wants to leave. Did they really believe that United was anything more than a pay packet for Rooney.

Develop Hernandez, Wellbeck and Macheda til January. Fergie has always defended Rooney in the press and has even tried to cover up his awful form of late. Let him rot in the reserves and see how he likes that, not to mention how it would affect his England place, or tell him not to bother training which I'm sure someone like Brian Clough would have done. Very poor timing of it all. He could've at least tried to get himself away from the club in the summer by demanding a transfer, or could've kept schtum til January, as there is no question it is bound to cause a degree of unsettling in the dressing room. Anybody that pays a reported £50m for Rooney is a mug. He comes across as very childish and thinking he is bigger than the manager, not to mention his form since March has been absolutely woeful. Can't see his behaviour ever changing TBH, he will always act like a brat on the pitch - if Fergie can't sort him out no one can The way he is playing, United would be fortunate to get back the £27m he cost. A fresh start in Spain would be ideal for him but he struggles to speak English half of the time, and I don't think his Mrs would be keen to move their young baby over there and be so far away from her ill sister. Clubs will have to think about how much they are seriously prepared to pay for him though, out of form in the league, had an abysmal World Cup, another embarrassing escapade from his private life has surfaced - think the only thing that could damage him even more would be getting caught in a hotel room with Ricky Hatton. His commercial value is shot at, and his reputation will take a lot of rebuilding. At least when Ronaldo left he waited til it was appropriate and when United could get the best price for him. The player got the move he wanted to his favourite team, and United got a world record fee. Rooney's move would leave a very bitter taste. Poorly timed, club and manager stuck by him during a terrible run of form and personal problems, then he declines signing a new contract and says he wants to leave. I wouldn't stick to the firm I work for if I was terribly unhappy either, but there is a time and place to do things.

He asked for 200 grans a month

So he wanted a pay cut?

The only good thing to come out of this is that Fergie has hung him out to dry and i'm glad, he's destroyed the players reputation with the fans.

Before or after tax?

Gotta love Paul Merson on soccer special "He's been tapped up, simple as. Forget the real madrids, barcelonas, United are THE biggest club in the world, you don't say you want to leave unless you have something in place. Who's to say City, real or Chelsea want you? You wouldn't leave yourself open to that". I'm guessing it will be City, how would Tevez react to not being top dog? Conisdering a few think he's "overated" would the City fans like him at Eastlands?
