He was . We were robbed . 40m was cheap at the price . That shabite-hawk Stretford engineered a situation where Asbo threw in a transfer request 2 days pre-deadline . Thus railroading the Utd option . We shouldve opened negotiations with Chelsea ourselves at 40-50m . Thus the bar wouldve been raised on old fukn red-face Taggart .
Still makes me mad , now .
We were shafted , and our Execs got walked all over .

We got around £27m, which wasn't that bad at the time. If it was today, he would be a £40m job. If United sold him now, I can't see it being for more than £40m anyway. Who would buy him? Chelsea, but more likely City seem the only possibility at that price. There is no way that he would settle in Spain or Italy, so Real madrid and company wouldn't waste their time on him.
His fee started the Moyes revolution, which is good.

The "Have we got anymore money from Rooney sale" threads go together with any United trophy success. It's been nearly 5 years hasn't it?
It ends this summer as far as im aware mate!

Does that mean that we get 1mil for each CL and 500k for each league from when he signed for them until the end of that contract, or just 1mil if they win the cl during that time and so on... ??
We got about £30m for him, simples really, does it even matter? Bill has already pocketed the money into his Swiss Offshore account.
He doesnt take a wage you know.

Do you really think that, at the time we sold him, he deserved to be the most expensive player in history?
I mean, Zidane at his peak went for £46m, and that was at a time when transfers fees were generally much higher than they were in 2004. Rooney at the time wasn't the finished product (he probably isn't yet), and there were question about his attitude.
You can argue about potential, but the economics show that this isn't enough to demand a world record fee. If you look at the list of the biggest transfers, you'll see that they are all - Rooney apart - proven at the top level at the time of the transfer. Clubs simply don't pay big money for potential, they pay it for the finished article.
It's also really easy to look at him now and say he was worth £40m 5 years ago, but remember that at several points in his United career people were asking whether he was all that. When Chelsea were walking the league and he was scoring "only" 15 goals a season (you have to move the scale upwards for a Man Utd forward), people were asking the same questions about him that they are now asking about Tevez/Berbatov.
Not every wonderkid youngster fulfils his promise. Nani at United, Jeffers at us. Both sold for for over £10m, both didn't progress. Yes, Rooney was a cut above, and that's why he went for £28m.
But to expect somebody to pay a world record fee for a relatively unproved striker who doesn't score too many goals - and to say that our executives were useless, as some are - is crazy talk.
Cheers for that mate, i have been looking for that info for a while but fail to find it. All in all, it looks a bit of a sh#t deal for Everton like i always felt and what done my head in about the whole Manchester United dicatatorship was that we had to pay transfer fees for Howard, Neville and Saha instead of Everton having their own clauses stating that any player that joins Everton, they can take it off the Rooney money owed.
