Yeah good point on it being a buyers market but the thing is with the fact that Rooney is now on a huge contract and with the fact that his agent is obviously taking a big payment too it would obviously mean that it would be a very limited amount of clubs who could match or better that. That being said I think it was all about wanting the money and holding out for a bigger contract which he, and his agent, have been clever with in terms of getting that deal, because in real terms, losing someone like Rooney who, despite the fact he's been shit this season and since March, is still a prize asset and without doubt the biggest player at the club and losing a player with that profile to ....well ANY club really, would have been a huge mistake and it would have sent the wrong message out. As for wanting the ambitions, we're still very much ambitious and will be in that Title race this season and once again challenge for the cups, we did it when Cantona left, we did it when Beckham left, we did it when Van Nistelrooy left, one player leaving, despite the profile, wouldn't have dented the ambitions, there is just more competition for it this season. It's just that with Rooney here, if he comes back into form which I think he will given the fact that this is over, we have that better chance. But as I say, his form has to be regained because it's been poor this season, anyone can see that. I don't think he'll leave at any time because as I alluded to before, he's got the money he wanted and really with the ambition still being there he has no reason to leave.
