No. She got a cat, though. Name of "Lady Di". The metaphoric possibilities here are many - but mostly disturbing.Not sure what anyone is referring to anymore. There are too many angles here for my simple head. But I don't think he mentioned the old quarrel between Rooney and Moyes specifically at all?
Have we sold him yet?
Would it have been a story if Fergie didn't say anything? We where all speculating but we speculate ALL day long really no solid proof until he spoke. It will be settled quickly unless we struggle to find a buyer, i'm still hoping he stays a fully fit and motivated Wayne Rooney is some player.
That's a good point Joe. The question is how Sir Alex could have responded differently? The fact remains Shreeves asked the question in the first place. Either way this will be settled quickly. Hopefully before we go out on tour.
RooWatch: I have been informed that Wayne, Coleen and the Roonettes went to Nando's after the non-meeting.

Hm. Coke only in his glass, I see. Could be a rum n' coke, though. Are they fully licensed?
He was drinking mustard neat, apparently.

Can't be bothered to read through the thread so unsure if this has been posted yet, but if these comments from Mick Clegg are true I find them utterly amazing.
So basically, you get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a week, become the top earner at arguably the most prestigious football club in the world, and when one of the coaches tells you what you need to do to keep yourself fit, you can just say "nah, can't be bothered" and nothing is done about it?
Why exactly is it the club convincing Rooney to stay rather than him convincing the club to let him? Surely keeping someone with that kind of attitude as the top earner is just going to act as a poison to the rest of the squad.

Latest: Nando's new manager wants Wayne to stay but he "needs a new challenge" #KFC #allyoucaneatbuffet
Noodle I would suggest looking at the Sport Witness article where Mick Clegg clarifies his position.
EDIT: Mockney just posted it.
"Dos...paellas...por favor, garcon. And uno Stella."
"We're back off holidays now, Wayne love. Eat yer chips up, there's a good boy."
I can't help but feel he's a misinterpreted edjit anymore.
A question, if Wayne stays and spends the next few years being unreal for United with a super relationship with Moyes, wins the CL a few times and scores buckets* of goals will it be enough to win people over again?
* Not a KFC reference!

I'd settle for him staying & giving 100%, never mind what he/we might win.
Huh? That doesn't make sense. I was with you until the last word, by which point you became a misinterpreted idiot.
So nothings happened, not even crunchy talks?
Finally! The answer to the "What does Phelan do?" thread.

One of the issues surely has to be whether he will still be interested in a few years? It was just a year ago he said he'd like to end his career here and apologized to the fans for the mistakes made in 2010, and yet here we are facing a similar situation. Obviously if it turns out he didn't ask for a move and is very happy here, it's not so much of a concern.
Devil may care said:
Yeah those famous shorts was just code for the spirits Wayne was drinking.
I typed it, proof read it and knew there was something wrong with it but going by the rest of this thread I thought it was fitting. Should have been'
I can't help but feel he's nothing but a misinterpreted edjit.
If he scores a few goals then all this transfer talk will be forgotten by the new year but then a new a transfer story will be written and we will all hate him again.
But he's scored a few goals since 2010 and a lot hadn't fully forgiven him.
I mean can he ever go on to be a club legend? If not it's going to be strange to have a top scorer not a legend.
Don't worry, a few of us will keep to our morals and carry on the bitter Rooney hate.
I've always loved/hated him.
I'll edit later as appropriate.

Ahh, that does clear that up a bit...and puts significantly more weight on the Rooney's frame making it naturally more difficult for him argument.
...though now I'm slightly confused as to why footballers in general are allowed to be lazy gits (suddenly started putting in more effort when he needed to be fit for a world cup, did he?). I mean, considering how much players are paid and how much money and effort clubs spend on trying to win games of football, you'd think the clubs would demand (and be within their rights to) that the players get themselves in peak condition whether they like it or not.
I just wonder if there's some kind of link here with why England lag behind other countries in terms of player quality and development. I bet for example, Barcelona or Dortmund don't have just one player who dedicates himself to his fitness and then the rest of the squad being just sort of "meh" about it.
He will never be club legend in my eyes, he could have been but he fecked that up in 2010.
How was rio forgiven so easily for 1st standing by him for his stupidity and missing the drugs test and then having his meeting with Kenyon.
Rooney is probably the bigger cnut and rio is a more likeable chap. But both assuming Rooney stays surely will go down as legends.
I wouldn't use Rooney as an example of the typical English football player. I'd bet nearly all English internationals look after themselves very well.
If he scrores 30 goals a season for the next 4 years and the winner in two CL finals whilst pulling up his shirt declaring his love for the club and saying sorry for being a dick?
There are probably some cultural differences when it comes to this sort of thing, but at top clubs - whether they be English or Spanish - the standard must be very, very high. In other words, not keeping fully fit will not be tolerated (might even be a breach of contract at some level, I don't know much about the sheer legal aspect of it).
So, when Ronaldo stood out it was probably more a case of him being exceptionally dedicated - not that Rooney was a slacker in any normal sense of the word. The latter being pretty much what the "clarification" stated, unless I'm mistaken. Everyone says Ronaldo is obsessed with keeping fit and trains uncommonly hard - which no doubt partly explains his quality as a player. Most great athletes, regardless of sport, are perfectionists who train that extra bit harder than everybody else.
I'm sure Rooney would've benefited from emulating Ronaldo's regime - but that's necessarily a criticism which could be directed at just about every player on the planet, bar Ronaldo himself.
Has it been mentioned here that they apparently didn't even have talks.
That's not happening.
I'm watching "united archives" on MUTV and it's showing a match when Rooney was our number 8, how hungry he looked there. (And no I'm not talking his hunger for bloody food)
What if he scores fifty per season for the next four years, whilst being clearly overweight and constantly claiming the club has no ambition - and crowns it all by scoring a hat-trick in two consecutive CL finals whilst being obviously drunk?
I'm starting to worry about wr8, I've not seen him in here for a while. Maybe even he has lost hope?
Then we'll wake up from your dream.
So to sum up from today? Just home from work and 7 pages look like saying nothing's happened on the big day?
