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...

About half of what Aaron Ramsey is worth.

not a patch on graeme dorrans dil old boy

lol , he wouldn't even get in Cardiff's squad

I thnk he's going abroad.....

required field

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

Barcelona is a serious club, who wants a " spoilt kid" still has to grow up at its 24 years old.

Who wants a gamber, drinker, playing games with the wife ( extra marital affairs ) and being on the front page of papers.

Kiss and patch up is the best for Ferguson and him.

Would they turn down George Best ?.

He can't speak English, so he'd have no chance whatsoever at talking spic.

Well don't tell me he's going back to huff and puff Everton again....

I'll be very surprised if he leaves Man U but, if he goes anywhere, I reckon it'll either be to Chelsea or Real Madrid.

Signed a new 5 year deal with Utd

I dont think this outcome is a shockthere were very few options for him imo..

Makes the bid to come from Barca bigger...at the end of the year !.

my gut feel is ferguson has used him as a bit of a pawn to get the galzers to fork out some cash

If he does leave...it will be abroad and my feeling is that it will be Barcelona....they all speak english anyway...he would fit in there....

My guess is that Rooney wanted Chelsea and a move to LondonChelsea did not want another forwardmaybe a swapbut basically City became his only optionand he felt 24 was too young to die!...humble pie?

RF - Keep up!

STINKS - Face saving exercise, Ronaldo scenario Act 2. Rooney will be history in 12 months.

I agree - at least his film career is fall back option (shrek 4).

I also think that Rooney will go.....Barca will have to fork out 60 or 70 million but they can afford it....end of this season or probably the next one....

Barcelona are skint. They can't afford Cesc Fabregas, so how do you reckon they'll be able to afford Wazza?

Coupled with that, I think I'm right in saying that, since the start of this year, foreigners working in Spain now have to pay 43% tax rather than 24% for the first 5 years as has happened previously. Where's the incentive in English players going there any more?
