I don't care who the player is, £15.6 million per year on one guy's wages is insane.

[brenchill]

What is Messi on at Barca?

[Crybaby Bunting]

I like the idea of Rooney trying to negotiate another deal in three years time only to be told no.

[stokeriño]

What is Messi on at Barca?

Google (yeah I know) seems to think it's EUR 16m, aka £13.1m per year.

£300,000 a week. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Obscene.

[stokeriño]

Honestly, Rooney and/or his agents have pulled the club over the barrel more than once with threats/requests to leave and every time they just reward him with a bumper deal. It just goes to show that some players really are bigger than the club at United.

[METALMAN]

Yeah, I think this is the third time Rooney has done this. You'd think they'd learn.

I'd have called his bluff. Realistically I can't imagine anyone other than Chelsea - perhaps PSG - taking him.

[brenchill]

He's crap I wouldn't have paid him 10p a week.

[Lineker]

That wouldn't even buy you a solitary Freddo!

[brenchill]

Well that's how crap I think he is.

[Lineker]

Wayne Rooney, worth two thirds of a Freddo?

[METALMAN]

Well I wouldn't pay Rooney 9p a week.

[Lineker]

Well I'm just not that good at fractions.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I wouldn't even want my club to pay £300,000 a week to a top, top player, let alone Wayne.

[METALMAN]

The thing that upsets me is that a man with horizons as limited as Wayne Rooney's isn't even going to spend his money on anything interesting. He's just going to buy loads of copies of FHM and a couple of Stereophonics albums.

[brenchill]

Wayne Rooney will be completely broke by the time he's 40 anyway. He's brain dead.

[EddieG]

He won't have anything to show for it, Coleen will.

[ZJ Penn]

He won't have anything to show for it.

Advanced syphilis?
