Does Rooney now deserve a bit more respect?

The chances are at 28 he will seek out his huge final pay deal. I can't see him running his contracted down to nothing with United to join us.

Per Fox, that's exactly what he's doing on purpose.

I would be delighted if/when he comes back. There is no one better.

Agreed.

Nope. 3 days away from 30.

His contract expires in October 2015, he's 26 now. He'll be 29 in October 2013 and his contract expires 3 days before his 30th birthday.

Fair enough, I though his Contract ends when the season does in 1st June ??!!

He signed a five year deal on October the 22nd 2010, according to the BBC.

Since when did Football players contracts end in October ???

I would say they are talking generally, and it actually ends a few months earlier.

Makes sense i guess. Another site says June 2015.

Chance we could get him in the Jan 2015, if United want to get some sort of fee for him.

Maybe we can give them a discount on Rodwell / McFadden!

Allowing myself to dream a bit, can you imagine Jelavic and Rooney upfront with Barkley in the hole behind? We'd score goals for fun.

I took my arl fella to the spurs home game a while back and introduced him to the bloke that found Rooney, he asked if he thought he would ever come back and he said yes definetely

 

[sotnas]

Once a blue always a blue.

He's still one of us.

Like someone said, he invested 27M in the club.

He did more to our survival than a lot more people.

I hope he does come back....can u really see him turning down a fat contract to play for us on 50k a week?

Title winning front line two years from now that is.

ROOONEY ROOOOONEY

Yeah..... right! real world please chaps. he aint coming back for a LONG LONG time, unless we get a rich owner to pay his wage. could you imagine an everton rep asking him "Ah Mr Rooney if you could just leave your £200k job at MU and we'll pay you £50k a week?" sounds fair ??
