As long as he carries on doing that after he's had his contract extended no one can complain.

5 year deal? 2018?
2014 will be the first year, presumably, it'll override current deal
Get it signed!
£300k is a lot of money. That said I do not want to see him at Chelsea under any circumstances. If we were to sell then I would prefer it to be abroad but it looks like realistically selling him would mean to Chelsea. A rival, and an inform Rooney is capable of magic on the pitch. If the club are satisfied they can justify and afford £300k then feck it. Sign him up.
Yep, just the last roll of the dice before entering negotiations. Mata deal has been pretty key in all this I think. Remember Rooney saying that he wanted the club to sign Ozil? Think he'd be delighted with Mata.
When RvP joined us he was reported to be on around about what Rooney is currently on. Even when he's not in the best of form, he still is so important to us and makes things happen. 300k is a hell of a lot, but is probably the going rate for someone like him who has been at the club so long and is not far off becoming the club's all time top goalscorer.
Each time a new TV rights deal is agreed, the big players want their cut.
That's 4 and a half then.
Plus the new tv deal has completely skewed these sorts of negotiations. Even the most prudent of the big clubs are either seeing their wage bills go up.
Plus signing him up means I can rub it in the faces of my Chelsea and Citeh friends who are convinced he is either part of the Mata deal still or on his way to Chelsea in the summer. People may say they think £300k is a bit sickening. I would be more sick seeing him in a Chelsea shirt.
The £300k figure, much like the £250k one, is unlikely to be all paid by the club, it probably involves a cut of image rights which I think come from other sources rather than directly through the club. It's still a reduction of income for the club as Rooney will get a greater share of royalties from certain merchandise and other stuff but large part won't be paid by the club to him, at least not directly.
This will benefit England in the WC too, for once Rooney might go into a tournament only thinking about his football and not injured, suspended or unhappy.
Time to retire, Wayne!
Well it's only January, if it starts from next month a 4 and 10 and half month deal is a bit of a mouthful.
A new deal means he's immune from injury, suspension and being a prick?
Read again and note the word 'might'.
So a new contract 'might' stop him from getting injured or suspended?
With the money we make, I don't care how much we give to our players.
Would be great news. Never gonna be my favourite of our players but he's stood up this season when others haven't.
Plus it would also prove that Mata wasn't signed as his eventual replacement, which is hopefully one more sign of us changing the way we play.
Between this and the Mata deal we'd certainly have proof we're willing to spend big to get things right.

Contracts in Football usually end in June, it coincides with the end of the football season in europe. So it'd be a 4 and a half year deal.
If he keeps playing as he is then great. An off-form Wayne is a liability though. But I already got it completely wrong once in the summer when I thought he was finished as a top level player and wanted him replaced with Ozil so I'm prepared to wait a while before moaning this time!
I think MPT United needs a tagline of 'genuine insider.'
£300k a week though. If United drop into the Europa, that's going to be tough to pay.

This. Our revenues are increasing and if we want to improve our first team, it has to start by keeping our existing best players.
Also I reckon Nike would prefer Rooney to be at the club if they were to sign that new kit deal.
If he's signed up, and it's not a ploy to get a decent price for him, then it's exciting times ahead.
This season is a bit of a write-off but RVP, Rooney, Mata and Januzaj in attack plus hopefully midfield and defensive recruits in the summer.
I don't want to get all RAWK-ish but I can't help it, roll on next season!

I think his big problem with Ferguson is that he never wanted to play as a number 10. He wants to be a number 9 with someone supplying him. He wants to be a goal scorer which is why Moyes knew he needed to challenge him to beat Sir Bobby's record.
He wanted us to sign Ozil a few years ago and now Rooney has finally got his #10 to play behind him.

Contracts end in the summer....
There's a Dutch elephant in the room though.
No - a contract can end whenever, it is just that in almost all cases they end in summer as it makes sense. Honda being a recent example of one that didn't.
A 31 year old who needs to be managed to be effective. Not a problem for me.
It's what you call any managers dream headache.
In England? Contracts end after the season finishes. Seriously
If Van Persie is fit he will play, 30 years old or not, I do think people are starting to forget how good he is. Before Rooney got injured he was playing deeper behind Welbeck and we won 6 in a row, hopefully this is where he plays when him and RVP come back next week.
When RVP is fully fit he will play as the striker, he's just too good to leave on the bench, the hard task is picking the 3 or 4 players who play behind him.
Well with a bit of luck they'll all be fit next season and we will juggle them all through the competitions like we should be able to rather than playing who ever is fit or half fit if needs be.
Can £300k p/w really be true? I know the tabloids fluctuate all the time with player wages, and some choose to include other fees into the figures, so it's always a bit ambiguous, but it doesn't sound typically Manchester United to be paying a player £1.2million per month. It's alot of money to invest in a player who has shown signs of being uncertain about his future at the club and his desire to leave.
Unthinkable amounts of money.
I'll be glad to see his future sorted, as I don't think Wayne would sign a contract just to leave, knowing he would hold all the aces when forcing a move this summer, if that's what he wanted to do. I just can't imagine United paying a player so much.

Emotions aside it is obviously a good thing, but, feck Rooney. I really didn't want this happening.
!I'm hoping he stays with you. Good player, but I'm not sure he's a positive influence.
I don't really want him to stay if I'm honest, I just don't want him to stay in this country.
That would be my attitude.
