Ric dees/TAZ,Don't be cheated about the ambition thing, it is greed all the way, he can't believe that Yaya Toure, a midfielder is earning 200K plus across the town, it is money orchestrated by his agent!!!!

As concerns Man Utd's ambitions, see the below quotes:
"As metaphors goes, it was about as memorable as Eric Cantona's "seagulls follow the trawler" story, though and it was accompanied by Ferguson's revelation that a lack of belief in his judgement in the transfer market had once persuaded a player – possibly Roy Keane – to leave because he thought Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were not good enough. "He was not prepared to wait until they were good enough," Ferguson said.

"But that's the trouble with potential," he went on. "People don't identify potential. They're very poor at it. I've identified it all my life – the potential in young people. I know potential. I know how to develop and have faith in young people, who surprise you when given the opportunity and that's what this club is all about. When you see Manchester United at the moment with all these young players, 14 under 22, you can't see Manchester United three years ahead."

And there is the morale of the story....

Its all ok when SAF goes poaching with cash, but when he gets his "boys" poached, oh its all about respect blah blah blah

Did you just marvel at the Rooney-Tevez combination???...who becomes king....remember Tevez is the current captain, Roo believes he the best striker.......their style just too similar.....changing room will explode at shitty !!!!

TAZ, agree it has always been about money, only there is a better way of doing it!!!!

Im not a Manugu fan, but WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kama Rooney waenda nenda mapema, you are not bigger than Man u. So don't start dishing your tantrums about Man u not being ambitious, there will be other better players than your, do remember Beck's, Ronaldo, RVN and the rest where at OT too. Good riddance Man U for life.

Do people expect Man Utd fans to come here celebrating and hero wroshpping Rooner for leaving....come on guys!!!!....the Adebayor saga is still fresh in our minds!!!

Maichblack, I echo your sentiments....the glazers should just get lost, the Red Knights just went underground, seems the value of United is too big for them!!!

No single player is bigger than the club he plays for....but i don't think Rooney leaving is a good thing for the club. When you keep losing your top players it makes it very hard to convince the likes of Sneijder, Messi, Villa etc to sign for you. You don't want to lose your top players just when they are at the peak of their careers.

Wenger sold our top players (Henry, Pires, Viera, Overmars, Wiltord, Anelka, Reyes etc) just because he thought the players we had then had potential to win more trophies.

@TAZ.............Man U is NOT selling Rooney, its Rooney who wants to be sold. As a club what do you do under such circumstances?

I guess the spoilt boy wants CASH NOW not in three years down the line.

This is just a thought maybe Rooney has projected into the future and seen that will all that debt that Man Utd has it may go into management crisis as liverpool so the best thing for him is to leave with his head held high after he won many cups while at Man Utd..........Just a thought
