The more I think about it, looking at the Wayne Rooney situation and the speculation that is surrounding him at the moment, I can't help but think he has had his head turned by Manchester City's money.
It was being reported this morning that Rooney is "unhappy" after United sold Ronaldo and never really replaced him. He see's United's constant debt problems as a hinderance to their financial spending power and believes they no longer have the financial muscle to compete with the likes of Chelsea and City because of the problems with the clubs debt.
It's also reported that he is looking for £200,000 per week wages which is just ridiculous. The only club willing to pay that amount of money will be Manchester City. City are literally throwing all kinds of money around to try and win trophies and with the backers they have, Rooney can see light at the end of tunnel he finds himself in.
I believe Chelsea will show 'an interest' if he becomes available but do not expect Roman Abramovich to agree to paying that amount of money in wages in addition to a transfer fee.
If Rooney was looking to move for footballing reasons alone and not the money then it makes sense for him to consider Chelsea as we are fighting for the all the major honours available to us every year including the Champions League.
I do get the impression that with the money City can and would pay, with the fact he has the option to stay in the Northwest and the chance to get one back at Fergie, it's my belief that he will move across the divide to the blue half of Manchester.
