Wonder Boy - Rooney in DEMAND

Everton have formally offered teenage striker Wayne Rooney a new five-year contract, saying it would be the biggest deal in the club's history.
The offer comes amid increasing speculation over his future at Goodison Park after his displays at Euro 2004.
Manchester United and Chelsea are both said to be ready to tempt the Merseysiders with bids for Rooney. Everton are heavily in debt and could wipe out their financial woes in one hit by selling their prize asset for a fee that would almost certainly exceed Rio Ferdinand's British record £30m move from Leeds to Manchester United.
It has already been stated that the board will only look at bids of around £40m and over.
Chelsea, bankrolled by owner Roman Abramovich, were believed to be the only club capable of mounting a bid to tempt Everton. But Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is reported to have told his board to make the money available to sign the England striker, whose stock and price rose at Euro 2004.
I am waiting for a word from Rooney as to what his choice is going to be...Everton/ ManU / Chelsea??
Though have been a ManU fan for a long time..i personally would prefer him getting into Chelsea now which is a team in the making. It all depends on how al ltheplayers click together. ManU, once the most feared club, unbeatable ones...have become sort of old and outdated and the only glimmer of hope is Van NIstelrooy in the front. Bringing Rooney into the team would end up making a disaster at front since both Rooney and Nistel Rooy have the same kinda play coz of which they wont be able to compliment each other in the front unlike Owen_rooney partnership....
anyway time wil tell whats gonna happen!!
till then let the papers talk:-)))
