I mean if i was Rooney i would be more than a bit pissed off that the club cant honor his contract but can spend this kind of money on two players.
I think it's more complicated than that. As far as I can see there cannot have been any "contract" with Rooney, other than the loan deal, at the time of his signing, because he was still contracted to Birmingham. League rules make it kind of illegal to sign a contract with a player while their registration is held by another club. There couldn't even have been one of those "pre-contract agreement" things, because we signed him in the summer, nearly a year before the contract was due to lapse, and you can't sign one of those until the last six months of your contract. There might have been a clause in the loan agreement expressing the intention to offer a contract when AR was in a position to sign one, but it's debatable what the legal status of such a clause might be. I guess that's the line that the club are taking, and I can't blame them. |

Same fella who thinks we have to pay Shrewsbury if TAH reaches the magic 15. Still you wouldn't read the comments appended to Morshead's stuff, for any reason other than a giggle....would you? |

No announcement yet. I'm wondering if there will be a double one tomorrow maybe?

I really liked the self righteous indignation from the early posters that a newspaper should ever print a transfer rumour before the deal was signed and details sent to the FA.
Jesus there's an entire industry based on little else. The BBC run a transfer rumours column throughout the season, even when the window is closed.
The fellah who claimed it was all a smokescreen from the board to keep the fans on side hasn't been back since the player himself tweeted his goodbyes to his Charlton mates at lunchtime I see.

Sam tweeted the deal was done but no official announcement today. You could be right about a double deal Sutton. |

Seems a bit odd the club still haven't confirmed it even though the player has.
Unless of course as sutton said we get a double deal at some point!

Apparently Rooney might be off to Aberdeen, maybe Oldham can't afford his contract either.

We are close to the wage cap. Probably awaiting FL approval. |
