Last night I more or less slated Wayne Rooney in my post only to find out that he signed a new 5 year contract this morning, which was a huge shock to me and I'm sure it was to football fans across the globe. I am a huge Wayne Rooney fan when it comes to his ability as a footballer and I have always stuck by him when hes come under criticism, when he said he wanted to leave I felt betrayed as I am sure many Manchester United fans did but it seems that he has been swayed into seeing the light by now deciding to stay at Old Trafford.
His reasoning for signing a new deal was that he had been given the assurances he was seeking regarding the clubs ambition and was assured by Sir Alex Ferguson, David Gill and the Glazers that they would still be able compete for honours at the highest level. If this is his true reasoning behind signing the deal then fair play to Wayne but I still have my doubts, I am happy to hear that he is staying at Old Trafford because he is a key player but a part of me just thinks he is in it for the money and for all we know him signing this contract could be a way of selling him in the future so that Manchester United get the money they want and deserve if he is to be sold.
Whatever his reasoning is I will be honest and say I was more or less delighted when I heard the news, as long as he comes out and apologises to the fans like he has apparently done to Sir Alex Ferguson then we can put this saga behind us and move on to see Wayne Rooney get back to performing to the best of his ability in the colours of Manchester United and help bring success to the club I and many millions of fans around the world love.
well done Wayne, you have made the right decision |
