Rooney threatens to take his ball home (again) [View all]

Wayne Rooney was last night considering tabling a transfer request after telling Manchester United that he is infuriated by comments made about him by the club’s manager, David Moyes, which he claims have depicted him as a second-string squad player.

Well, IMHO United wouldn't miss him and Chelsea would be mad to pay X million quid for him, plus his salary. I'd bet my pension he wouldn't take a pay cut to join them.

Basically an overrated primadonna who's still living off the promise he showed when he was seventeen. He certainly isn't the player he could have or should have become.
