Good for him and good for England.

rooney is a judas to all everton fans. once a blue always a wanker to a hooker hopping rooney.

 

[Kent Seagull]

According to Sky Sports news £29.85 million!

Once a blue always a blue, at least until someone offers a bit more cash!

Everton get £20 mill up front which should buy then a few half decent players, not all bad forEverton fans methinks.

Smith will be in good company with fellow Judas Rooney.

Two lads who geniunely loved their clubs only to jump ship when a fat wedge was waved in front of their noses.

'Furthering their careers', my arse. If they'd wanted to do that Rooney, especially, should have stayed for at least one more season.

Loyalty in football is well and truly dead. How could they join that bunch of

 

[Beach Hut]

So let's just get this straight - you are offered a lot more money and the chance to further your career so what do you do ?

Turn it down

 

[SK1NT]

i think leon showed great loyalty, staying with us over QPR offering more money and his family are QP fans apprently.

Turn it down

I think you know what I'm trying to say. The two players I referred to were the epitome of loyalty. Fans of other clubs respected them because they actually gave a shit about the team they represented.

If they weren't playing on the pitch they'd singing on the terraces.

It's a shame. Thought Smith and Rooney were a different breed.

As a resident of Manchester, I suspect that Rooney will be easy to find using the Little Black Book

Not till January though, which stuffs them right up. They've had a decent start, but the squad looks thin on quality and they could be in trouble by the time the transfer window comes round.

Rooney has left them in the shit somewhat. But what do I care ?

*shrugs shoulders nonchalently*

What would you call leaving a mid-table first division side for the biggest club in the country, then?

Is there one of those for Brighton?

Think it might be a 'Little Pink Book' for Brighton

Rooney agents to make £1.5 million!

Manchester United have revealed that Proactive Sports Management Limited will receive £1 million in agent fees and a further £500,000 over 5 years.

There I was, driving along, looking for some bears and wolves and listening to Moose 97.7FM, the station for the megatropolises of Haliburton, Bancroft and Wilberforce, Ontario, (total pop. about 4,000). Happy as a lark, really. When on comes the news and this Rooney business even makes it to the sports news in this isolated neck of the woods. Is it really that big a story?

 

[Easy 10]

This whole move has been orchestrated by Newcastle in collusion with Everton. Everton are desperate for the cash, desperate to sell Rooney, but they obviously don't want the fans knowing that. So Newcastle make a bid for Rooney which, if you think about it, makes absolutely no sense at all. They already have Shearer, Bellamy, Ameobi, and they've just brought in Kluivert. Yet they still make a bank-busting bid of £23m for a player they quite clearly don't really need. And despite having all summer, they decide to bid just a few days before the transfer window closes.

Man United are stirred into action cos they don't want to miss out on a player they have down as a long-term target. They'd probably have waited till January, or even next summer, but with Newcastle playing silly buggers, and an injury crisis not helping, they dive in with their £30m and bobs-yer-knob, Everton get their cash and can still plead "ohhh, we really really didn't want to sell him".

Newcastle have done Everton proud.

It makes me want to vomit when players such as Smith and Rooney claim to be fans of their original clubs and then sign for their most hated rivals. Of course United have the resources far beyond those of many other teams, but the hypocrisy of the players stinks.

No one objected to Bobby trying out his luck in the Prem with Spurs, but if it had been Palace he would have been a Judas in the eyes of the faithful, and this is how Smith and Rooney are seen, despite the spin put on their departures by the PR merchants.

I hope Rooney's knob falls off with the clap.

Yet Man U have got Smith, Saha, Mr Ed, Bellion and Solksjaer (if he ever plays again). How are they going to accommodate Rooney as well.

He should have gone to Liverpool, that would really have pissed Everton off.

But if that's the case, what did Newcastle get out of it?

Did you drive thru Fenelon Falls on your wolf/bear mission?

I love that part of the world and it's far more interesting than the Wayne Whore-Rooney saturation in the media these last few weeks...

I hope the deal turns sour for both parties because I hate ManUre and have no time for Rooney who is so over-hyped it isn't even funny. I don't particularly like the Bluenoses much but good on them for squeezing all that dosh out of the Mancs.
