Wayne Rooney signed a new five and a half year deal at Old Trafford last week to signal an end to months of speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea. The Englishman's signature has not come without a hefty price, with his contract reported to be in the region of £300,000 per week, or around £85 million in total. We could all think of 85 million different ways to spend that kind of money but could Man Utd manager David Moyes have put the astronomical sum to better use? Rooney is 28 years old and, if the experts are to be believed, he should be hitting the peak of his career about now. The striker has carried the weight of club and international expectations on his shoulders for over a decade now, ever since 'that' goal against Arsenal. However, his stats over the last couple of years would suggest otherwise and there is a growing number who believe that we may have seen the best of a player who prompted Alex Ferguson to shell out around £27m for back in 2004. To celebrate Wayne earning another £300 in the time it has taken to write this introduction, we've put together a list of four players Moyes could have bought with Rooney's wages. Read on to find out more.
