It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

and its far lesss than 5% anyway

Do the maths on my club 21.6m x 5% = 1.08 milliion - we average 44,000 and even though its not the same week in week out, its still a long way short of 1 million.

You've got to take account of shirt sales , scarves etc so that would bring the figure a lot higher Joe but I admit that I was being more than generous when I said 5%.

I bet you that Rooney joins Barcelona.....

You have to think Man U will pull out all the stops to keep him first, without him they are donald ducked.

10 more like Bale and Spurs would have walked it !

10 more like Bale and Wales would have half a team Dil!

Seriously though, Gareth Bale is a fantastic player, bit like me in my youth :-)

If only he was english! Sorry, but no chance of getting to the top playing for Wales.

lol pt ... can you remember that far back ?

We got a better one than him , Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal .... nine more to find !

Bale might have had a good game...can't say the same for the rest of them....most of them have not a clue as what to do with the ball....how about some british players instead of these very poor overseas players !.

Steve Morison, that leaves 8

No jeff he's second class ... Bellamy is better than him and at least plays for a decent club :-)

Ramsey is 20 and Bale 21 I think so we got about 8 to years to find another 9.

Man U press conference 10am should be interesting :O)

Will it be "The club has bowed to Wayne Rooneys pay increase and assured him that they fully intend to spend mega bucks to attract the players Wayne is entitled to play alongside"

OR

"Rooney can Foxtrot Oscar, no one player is bigger than the club"

Place your bets.... Chelsea, Real Madrid, City or Barcelona ?

rooney will not go abroad the boy can hardly speak english never mind learning spanish.

Man U at a crossroads...they cannot compete financially to get the best british players and SAF has a major re-building job to do...interesting times at old trafford

Watch Sir Alex Ferguson lose his temper over the Wayne Rooney saga

Rooney is a great player...shame we don't have more like him.....a bit better than the average "kick up field" mob you see most of the time.

i love SAF....the way he handles the press sometimes borders on genuis.....

Agree Treb, he treats them with the contempt they deserve. Question perplexing Man U fans, 80m for Ronaldo untouched, say 50m minimum for Rooney will the owners pay off the interest on the clubs loan or give it to Fergie to rebuild? Interesting times indeed.

man u are only 12 months away from being the new liverpool i think

For Rooney : got to be Barca .....can't see him going to Real...Messi plus Rooney..ouch !....the others would have to watch out !.

Well if Man U don't want him and can't sell him til Jan then I'm sure Cardiff can come up with something similar to the Bellamy loan deal if Fergie's interested.


We could even lend them Chopra for a couple of months if they like :-)
