Roo-ing the moment?

I bet you'll laugh your ass off if you see this pic. Trust me. It happened to me too.

Nevertheless, Mr. Rooney now is in the brink of exiting the club Manchester United.

Yes ladies and gentlemen. Wayne Rooney a.k.a The White Pele a.k.a Wazza a.k.a (enter name here) has stated his interest to leave Manchester United this week. To make matter worse, he said it a day before Manchester United's Champion's League match against Buraspor, 2010 Turkish champion.

And we won it, by a goal from Portuguese Nani. Without Wayne Rooney. I repeat, we won it without Wayne Rooney.

Ever since his private life was revealed to the media (somewhere in September) he is no where near to the form he was last season. Not to forget, his form while in World Cup also raised some eye brows. Now, he's looking forward to leave Man Utd.

The reason why he'd leave is simply because he'd like to win more trophies, not because of he neglected to sing a new 4-year deal contract, somewhere around 150,000 pounds per week, was he? How bout the saying that he's fed up with Fergie and Man Utd. (Huh...?) What do you think of the reason why he wanted to leave Man Utd?

We can look at the reasons one by one, starting with the 'I want to win more trophies'. It's simply translated that he was meant to say "Been there, done that". He have won 3 league titles, 3 league cups, 1 Champion's League title and lots of individual accolades. This might be a hint of he'd like to join his beloved 'old friend' somewhere in Spain. (And I know you know where... :P)

Next reason... Money. No comments on that. It's proven that footballers nowadays will look after money over loyalty, respect and anything about the love of the game. Remember what happened to Ronaldo and Tevez? Rumors has it Rooney is worth of 50 million pounds now and some sources suggest that Manchester City is kind of interested to sign him at 200,000 pounds per week of wages.

The other reason suggest that Wayne has lost his interest to be under Fergie. This brought me how some big name players leave Man Utd over a decade ago due to their upset and disliking the gaffer. Sorry to say but I don't think it's Fergie's to be blame upon. Here's a list of player who got 'axed' by the gaffer.

1995: Paul Ince
2001: Jaap Stam
2004: David Beckham
2005: Roy Keane
2006: Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Efforts has been done and going to be done as Ferguson will have a talk with Man Utd's Chief Executive, David Gill and the result will be known, shortly? (lol) Though, Ferguson has stated in a post-match press conference after Man Utd's victory against Burasport that he'll put the 'saga' to bed and focus to Sunday's match away at Stoke. (Available in Malaysia @ 8:30 pm)

Just to relate things up, Man Utd's simply not at their best with all these speculation stirring up on the newspapers and fuzzing around in the news as well. The speculation is as bad as their form away and even home. Thus the resolution must come a.s.a.p or the team will have their chance to get in the pace with the leader, gone. (We're 5 points behind Champion Chelsea)

However, if... A really big if, Rooney leave Manchester United, I don't think it'd be a problem at all. Just look at the list of players The Red Devil have and they still have some years left in them to mature and develop into better and world class players. Not to mention, we still have Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, and veterans like Dimitar Berbatov (who's in TOP FORM YEAH!) and Edwin Van Der Sar to help the young stars to become good players.

We may see the end of Rooney, but there is a silver lining upon his departure. Two player who are now in a mission to get out from their own shell and silence the critic once and for all. Nani and Berbatov, let's show em!

Next match:

Stoke vs Manchester United (a)

Prediction: Another 1-0 victory against the Potters, Nani or Berbatov to score.
