Moyes should throw a shoe at his head. Teach him a lesson a la Fergie.

Ridiculous

He is surpassing Messi #rooneythetyrant

You can't expect an athlete nowadays to live on £250k a week ffs, that amounts to slave labour. Obviously, Rooney did what he had to to support his family

He only had three Bentleys in the drive way and only two holiday villas. The man was practically starving to death. What good is a nine foot tall fridge if you can only afford to fill it up three times a week?. Colleen was reduced to only eight shopping trips to Paris a year. Kai and Klay have to wear last season's Gucci clothes

Surprised he stood firm for as long as he did. Only £250k per week What an insult. That extra £50k a week will ensure his kids grow up comfortably. Just about, though.

I'm actually happy about this. Was getting increasingly worried we were going to sign him.

£300k p/w for an inconsistent and unprofessional 29 year old striker.

The richer you are higher the encome, I dont see 300k/w outrageous.

Yep you must delighted about seeing Torres line up for you every week and watch Hazard create 50 chances which don't go in.

DELIGHTED.

Torres, the 50m£ flop

Yanited don't have too much of a choice. Rooney is their only proven world class player right now. Can't count on RVP as he's 31 next season and injury-prone. He'll be finished within the next 18 months. That kind of age coupled with injury interruptions every now and then is always bad news for a striker's form. I also somewhat suspect he doesn't care anymore after he reached his goal and won a trophy and after SAF has left. Yanited don't have the pulling power to attract a proper replacement either right now. Only calibers like Cavani would do (with Mata behind that would somewhat soften the blow of losing Rooney) but they are not getting those kind of players if recent history is anything to go by.

Wayne, Wayne go away!

What a joke.

Because Rooney is the only available striker in World Football of course.

Can't wait till Cabaye leaves.

It has a lot to with the circumstances. United would not have succumbed to this demands if they were on top of the league with most of the team performing well. Moyes and United know they have to do everything they can to avoid more bad name or more angry reaction from the fans/media.

I don't think 300k p/w is as outrageous though. Rooney is worth it. He is a monster when he wants to be. Probably the best player in the league too. United can afford it so it is not a massive deal. If Rooney takes them to the top 4 then no one will remember his wages.

Not even Messi could unsettle Rooney if they were at the same club

Big Roo would have him playing left back before the season was over.

300k isn't all that bad considering what others get nowadays. Plus it makes sense for him to be captain. Vidic is probably out this summer and Rooney's English and been at Man Utd for a long time.

Anyway if he does leave they can just put Mata at CAM.

If it is 300k POUNDS then it really is outrageous though. € 19M a year. Would this make him the best paid footballer in the world?

Wow isn't this like the 4th time he's punked United like this?

I love how he always comes back from 'injury' after he's done it too. Straight goon.

Yes, he'll perform and they'll forget about his wages.

But when is the line drawn? As Lenear said, the 4th time he's done this.

He's gonna have Moyes doing Kai's homework every night at this rate.

selling our most recognized player, while not performing well and our stock has fallen because of our struggles on the field .....ya like the Glazers are going to let that happen, 300k a week will save them 100 million on the stock market

speaking of Torres in this forums, according to wkipedia (i know reliable source huh)
he makes 300k p/w aswell? xD

that's after tax though isn't it?
he earns 14m a year, simple math = 291.6k p/w
apply the 45% tax to his salary and yeah youll get close to 160k

now is Rooney asking for 300k after tax?? or a torres like contract.. because if that's the case then I think he more then deserves it when compared to other players

Of course everything is after tax. If we included tax, Ibra is by far the most expensive player in the world and its not even close.

No one quotes after tax figures. With that in mind, Torres obviously does.
