Well the biggest story in the footballing world is currently Mr Rooney's apparent desire to leave Manchester United. I get the feeling that he sees that the club is the proverbial sinking ship. Under the Glazer family England's biggest football club has been shackled with crippling debt under which a small country would collapse.
So where will he go? Manchester City would be a good choice for him financially, they could pay him double whatever Real Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea could offer him. It wouldn't be a bad decision other than the fact that he would have to avoid being seen in large parts of Manchester. If he wants to live a repeat his Manchester United career by going to an already successful club to win trophies... he could go to Chelsea? Or more interestingly if he wants to improve and evolve as a player he could go to Barcelona or Real? I'm not sure if Barca would want him, they have already go a array of attacking talents, would they want a ill-disciplined and declining forward (since his ankle injury and the World Cup) with a persistent ankle problem? Now Real are looking like the real possibility, but only days ago Jose Mourinho was saying that he wasn't interested in signing anyone,

I personally believe he may be on his way to Manchester City... (the silence is deafening...) Whats my reasoning I hear you ask? Well Rooney isn't of the Steve Mcmanaman or Paul Ince ilk, I get the feeling he isn't interested in moving abroad. He is a working class lad born in urban Liverpool into a boxing family (basically a chav...) I don't think he'd last too long anywhere he might have to use his brain by learning a new culture and language.
I also think Rooney's antics sleeping with prostitutes and God know what else (who know he could have done a Garrincha?), drinking and smoking excessively may mean that he could have a very short career in comparison to some of his United colleagues. With this taken into consideration he may want to make as much money as possible (where better to do that than City?). Its has also been well documented that his value has dropped,

I'm sure a five year contract in the payroll of the generous Sheikh could resolve that problem.
Time for the killer blow Man United supporters, I don't think he has much loyalty to the club. He is a born and bred blue nose Scouser. I think that his original reason for coming to United was to win trophies, he has come seen and conquered, the club has served his interests and now its time so say arrivederci.
