Rooney Sell On Clause

[malcson]

Paul Stretford pretty much has one client - Wayne Rooney. The cash cow will be dry before too long so he has to squeeze as much out if as he can before its too late. He earns his lump sum commissions only when a new contract is agreed and obviously more so if a transfer is agreed. Rooney is not the brightest and for some strange reason trusts his agent, he will have been convinced a move is right for him. It's basically all about the fee now, I will be more surprised if he stays than if he goes. Also he will be a sucker for Mourinhos arse kissing.

doubt that united would have missed the numerous opportunities while dealing with everton to get any sell on clause rubbed out. If there still is one, we still wont get much. The reason rooney is leaving is because it suits all parties. United want to get him off the wage bill and replace him with a younger, cheaper replacement, which (bar van persie) has been uniteds raison d'etre in the glazer years. Moyes has history with him, and rooney wont make his already huge task any easier.He's also disruptive and capricious, I genuinely think if Ferguson was still in charge he'd still be going. If you ask me Ferguson's comments post match against WBA were a way to soften the blow, meaning moyes could sell and not take as much flak from the united fans. Also rooney's ego wont countenance not being top dog, He would like a new contract for a larger period of time and on equal if not better money. Also Paul Stretford would love a nice big chunk of any transfer fee, possibly the last big transfer wayne will make. I cant see him going for +30mill in a couple of years time. He's still got the goods but doesn't take care of himself well enough to sustain that into his thirties.
