If we can get big bucks for him now, I think we should.

But this is probably all paper talk as the Chinese transfer window closes next week anyway .

I'd be really surprised if Rooney moved to China,he's worth over a 100 mill so doesn't need the money,his wife has strong family ties plus 3 kids of her own just don't see her uprooting her family and dealing with the culture shock of China
He might be tempted by the states but personally think he'll stay in England

H,

I agree. this is what most people forget when money is talked about by moving elsewhere.

He is rich enough not to have any (money) worries for the rest of his life .

He can also go wherever he wants for as long as he wants when he retires

But in the unlikely event that he does want to go to China, and the club get offered silly money, I think they should take it .

But as you said, he seems very settled here

His time is up.For once, he isn't in a position to hold the club to ransom so let us give him a taste of his own medicine by only looking to earn as much money as possible.Let us sell him to the highest bidder.If it means flogging him to China, then so be it.

I don't think anyone is ever rich enough to not want more money.The Rooney who held us to ransom will surely be tempted by the huge money on offer in China.The money on offer in America is peanuts compared to what he could earn in China.That could be the deal breaker.

Kulee,

If you have enough money to last a lifetime. why would you need any more ?

Anyone who wants more money than they need is greedy .

He is in a position where he can resist temptation, he can do whatever he wants .

That was 7 years ago before he started making big money,imo there's no way his wife will move away from her family uproot her own family and move to China plus Rooney is also very attached to the North West and his own family.I guess only time will tell but my money will be him moving to another English club think he could even go back to Everton

H,

I think you're probably right, he will just keep playing as long as he wants to .

I don't think money will be the defining factor.

Everton seems a good bet, who knows, he might even end up playing for Salford in a few years

I'd say enjoy yerself and the horses defo not stirring.
One question though is there a goal or two left in him?

I think he should join Everton or another premier league club. If he gets a mid table club and gets 10 goals a season like Defoe he could well break shearers record.

I desperately wanted him gone before he broke the record.

The paper talk about a 52m .... fifty two million ... pound bid from China would be perfect.

He's 31, on huge wages, physically shot, no longer part of the first team and should be sold.

Very simple.

Unless it's ridiculous money, he should stay until the summer. News reported 30m, which isn't something you'd turn your head although you can't imagine any other side in europe or MLS could offer

Both sky and BBC reporting that Rooney's agent is in China to negotiate any potential deal with interested clubs.
It doesn't mean that he's going but it definitely shows that he's finding it difficult to ignore the millions being thrown at him from China.I said it yesterday, the kind of money on offer cannot be ignored easily, especially for players reaching the twilight of their career.Money is never enough for a greedy pig like Rooney and with good hookers also reportedly plentiful in that part of the world, Rooney could be in for a treat if his wife stays in the UK.
