lancy lad Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 All quiet on the Rooney front. Anyone know if he's still been around the club, training etc, since Sat? The tweets about Rangers appeared to come from knowledgable insiders so with all this silence on the subject it isn't filling me with hope. Unfortunately I am getting the same feeling now. I hope I am wrong, but it would be typical of Latics to let it all slip away. You watch, he will probably sign for someone else and score against us in a few weeks just like Clarke did last season!

c.hill12 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have a feeling wherever he ends up, be it latics or otherwise, it will be a last minute thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamjonesyyoafc Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 "@Matt_Chambers_: Just popping by to say it was always likely Adam Rooney saga would drag on to eve of season. Doesn't mean a deal is less likely... #oafc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ive never doubted he would sign tbh. Id be shocked if he didnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's all to do with Swindon and the PFA is it not? Less so the ol' Agent sneaking out for a quick call saga. Hopefully it'll come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Very, very good signing. Would you say a younger Lee Hughes type with a lot more miles on the clock and much less baggage? Him and JCH are probably the best strike partnership we've had in a long while based on age, ability, performance so far etc. Lets nail that CB today or tomorrow and all systems go for Saturday. Dayton's a doubt but we have Sid and Monty out wide with Jose and Korey in the middle. Well excited for Saturday now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well the trust was well placed. That strike force must have another 30 goals in it. In LJ I trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Pleased with this. A good pedigree and a contract long enough to turn him into a good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Result. We should be looking at challenging (the top 6) with the options we've got up top. Pre-season optimism, granted, but we do look like we'll be strong going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Excellent, really looking forward to this season now. That striker force has proven goals in them. Just about including Millar, can you remember the last time we had five first team options upfront? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Couple of plausible (for a change), if not reasonable posts from the rumours site: Ok let's get this right. Rooney was not offered 8k per week. His total package came just over 5k. The rest included win bonuses and agent fees. Whoever he signs for, the breach of contract payout by Swindon Town FC will cover that. The PFA and legal dept are determining whether signing for another club will void his suit against Swindon. The general concensus is that Swindon Town FC are still in breach no matter what he decided to do or who he decides to sign for. Agreed about the breech, however he can only be awarded a payment based upon his losses, if he signs for another club immediately this mitigates the loss and the payment would be minimal, I heard that Swindon have offered him 2k per week on a 3 year deal with a 60k signing on fee which would cover his moving costs, that doesn't seem that bad an offer to me. All water under the bridge now ROONEY, ROONEY, ROONEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
