Rooney signs

[Old Popsider]

Another 5 year contract at Manure.

Just how much are they paying him now? Whatever it is, it will be far too much. Mind you, how come they signed him again after all that he's said in the past few days slagging them off?

Very difficult for us to guess - and who knows the whole thing may have been \"staged\" to arrive at this point

My only \"guess\" to make sense of it is :

If he had dragged his heels and not played - or had not been selected eventually he would be out of Contract* and they would have got nothing for him so now they have him tied up and their investment \"protected\"

His pay may have been upped to the supposed 120 k from 80 k so that is how HE will justify signing again meaning he got what he wanted

* not sure how long that would be
