The biggest thing that is slightly off to me is that we offered Wayne a new contract at the start of the summer and it was turned down then. Now from then to this surely something must have given for one not to have been signed in the meantime. I know there was at the time 2 years left on it, but still. Now as far as his agent goes, it's pretty common knowledge that Paul Stretford is just in it for the money (as is the case with any agent) which leads me to believe that he was just holding out for more money for his end of the deal, now I'm not privy to the cut he would get, but I can make an educated guess that's it's big. So he has a lot to answer to for seemingly turning Wayne's head. But in turn Wayne was out of order for going to the press and saying he was never injured. Well he clearly was against Rangers, even Stevie Wonder himself could see he got injured in that game. And then the prostitute allegations came out and he was dropped then to basically try and get away. The cover being the injury (which he had in stages) of course. As for where he'll go....well again it depends on his agent for me. If Manchester City offer a big wage and the huge signing on fee then Stretford might want him to go there. But the Real factor comes in too, with Ronaldo there of course. Nike could play a part here too if they are clever, the feeling is that with Rooney and Messi, who are huge players with Nike, both at Barcelona, they would be a bigger money maker for Nike because of the presence of both at the same club, so they would give Rooney 10 million euro's to go. Chelsea could buy him of course, but to be honest I think he wants to leave England. Which is why my gut instinct tells me he'll go to Real. As for us missing Wayne, sure, anyone would. But the thing is, in the last seven months Rooney has been terrible, no getting away from it. He's not been scoring and to be honest his body language is way off from what it should be. If he thinks it's wrong that he was dropped then he's dead wrong.
