BOF Posted April 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2013 He's one of those few players you think would be very hard to purchase under normal circumstances, but I'm with Rev on this. I think there may be more to this one than just idle newspaper speculation. At the least you would expect United to dismiss all the speculation from the likes of PSG et al like they have done in the past. But not this time. I've also heard theories that United themselves are engineering or encouraging the media gossip so as to get the player and his agent used to the idea that something might happen; which if true would basically mean he's gone.I certainly wouldn't write him off though or call him a journeyman. He'll still cost an absolute fortune and even including him being a kid at Everton, United is his 2nd club. He is a big lad though and there are a lot of miles in those legs for his age (and weight) so maybe maybe United have gotten the best of him? We'll see. It'd be a shame to lose him from the Premier League though. You'd never get to see him in France, save for the odd Sky Sports News report. But then I doubt United would sell him to a PL side.

Zatman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 the thing with PSG is a. he will have to learn a new language and b. the tax system there is madness The tax system isn't an issue really, he can just keep his money in a secret Swiss bank account to avoid paying any like the French chancellor of the exchequer does. doubt Rooney can rememebr his ATM pin never mind something so complex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2013 Well he can just get advice from his fellow (alleged) dumbass, David Beckham. He seems to have done alright for himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Well he can just get advice from his fellow (alleged) dumbass, David Beckham. He seems to have done alright for himself difference been Beckham is only there for 6 months so doesnt have to live there plus has given his salary to charity so french taxman cant take his earnings. as for never seeing him PSG are nearly always on ESPN or Setanta every weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2013 *exasperated* Really? You somehow missed my point. My response of Beckham's career being a good one financially despite people thinking he's a bit thick was in response to you saying Rooney can't remember his PIN. Mine was a joke.TL;DR Rooney won't be eating beans on toast any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 TL;DR Rooney won't be eating beans on toast any time soon. Unless he fancies it as a snack. Because it is a tasty treat that's quick to make, if he's busy and doesn't have time for anything that takes more time. It'd definitely be Heinze on Hovis though, I know what you're saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Video of Wayne Rooney having a "comedy" boxing match with Phil Bardsley ends up with Rooney getting sparked out. http://youtu.be/Ovewdru_Jjo It's behind a paywall on the Scum's website but someone has mirrored it onto YouTube. Apparently it happened on February 22nd according to the BBC, it didn't seem to affect Rooney too badly as he scored twice against Sunderland in the first game after this video was recorded.

rodders0223 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Once he gets caught he is in the hands of the Gods. It isn't even funny, many people have been killed by one punch, caught their head on the curb, concrete, or a marble floor... Both of these guys are approaching 30? Surely they know better.**** ridiculous. Two absolute **** morons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
