I’d have taken him into The Brambly Moor pub and bought him whatever he wanted, he gave the club plenty of money which was wasted on many players by those who spent it.
There'll be queues stretching back into town of people swigging cans of Carlsberg to avoid an £8 pint. The scenes of fans pissing off that bascule bridge will be spectacular; the canal will be raised by about another foot.
How much were his wages reduced by nah even if he played for nothing I’d still be waiting for those mistakes although when you put his confirmation name in — Vincent— he seems like a different player!
Rooney at 16 played like a footballer in his prime and had people like Bobby Robson and Alan Shearer drooling over him with most of the Man. Unt. team telling Ferguson he had to sign him after he played the second half against them in the 3-4...
Rooney had just finished scoring 4 goals at the Euros including single handedly ripping apart Croatia, though.
Wonder what Rooney would go for in the current market.
All signings have a risk element,it makes better sense to sign a player from the continent for half the reported amount with similar or better potential.
