Wayne Rooney's surprise U-turn decision to stay at Old Trafford for another five years strikes me as something athletes do all of the time-threaten to leave, get all kinds of speculation going, then sign an extension when the proper amount of notes with the Queen's picture are offered up. It's almost like something you would expect Chad Ochocinco, or Terrell Owens to do in the USA. Who, for instance, does not believe, as perposterous as it may sound, that Rooney, or his agent, would at least have listened, if, say, Real Madrid, or New York Red Bulls, had come calling with tons of Euros or green?
Frankly speaking, Rooney and his agent may well have played all of us in the world press for fools(and done it brilliantly at that). Maybe I'm just being cyncial by giving an American viewpoint on this, but it sure smells like Rooney had no intenion of leaving Old Trafford in the first place, and wanted to force the Red Devils into ponying up the cash.
