Yes, and because every team is owned by the league, players are actually signing a contract with the league, not the club. So when a player is traded, they keep the same contract. So players don't have to agree personal terms with the new club.

Keeping Rooney means other players will come, and Utd has never been a club to let players go on a free. They can still sell him to Chelsea. He's obv not worth 300k a week but there's no one else we can splash that kind of cash on. Also Vidic is leaving so that frees up a lot of salary.

There is no way in hell they can sell Rooney on 300k a week salary, he is United for life. He's no where close to worth that and considering his age and length of contract even a club like Chelsea will be off limits. United could have let Rooney walk and they would still have no problems attracting players, it's not like he's a Messi or Ronaldo. Furthermore, the already have a better replacement on the squad so they don't need to buy a proven talent for him at all. They would have been far better off spending that money on a bit of rebuilding.

Didn't Rooney's contract run out at the end of the year? So they were looking at paying someone 15.6 million for a year to stay, arguably the best player they could get for that position right now and not rocking the boat OR they could let him go and then spend 30+ million on a transfer fee, and then sign someone to a 10-12 million per year deal in order to come close to replacing him. It's better for the club to keep him there in this case even if they have to splurge on wages a bit.

One a side not: I can't believe how little the best footballers in the world make relative to the best Baseball players in the US. You would think they generate far more revenue in total compared to baseball for their clubs. Maybe there is a study out there I can find.


Isn't that because the US sports don't pay transfer fees, but only make trades or something? Not really sure.


Yes, although money is oftentimes thrown into Baseball trades as part of the deal. The player+cash deal isn't too common though, as organizations prefer to use young talent as their "cash addition" or "supplemental value" to their trade.

I didn't know the league owned the players though. I thought the organization owned the contract, and could trade that contract. Unless there is a no-trade clause in the contract a player can be sent anywhere at anytime without any say in the matter.

I was also wondering about that. From what Ive heard, NFL players often get much less than stated in their contracts, cause they dont bring the results that are demanded in the contract. I read that no quarterback has yet been able to collect the full sum of what his contract says to pay him.

maybe its also cause there are so many football players? cause how many proffesional sportsmen in America are baseball players?

Willian substitution was poor from Mourinho. Torres has been poor and Willian I feel had more spark to his game. Should have been more patient, I think they would have won it.

That wasn't a justification that was me hinting Torres should start over Eto'o when Eto'o isn't scoring.
Also we made like 10 mistakes with strikers;
Mutu
Kezman
Shevchenko
Torres
Crespo
more than i can name, only striker we have had since Zola and Hasslebaink is Drogba ;_;
