WOW .... I know he's going through some tough times, but I didn't see this coming.
I hope Chelsea go after him. With Drogba as good as gone next summer, signing Rooney would be a nice replacement.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed Tuesday that Wayne Rooney has requested to leave the Premier League club, but said he doesn't understand the reasons behind the England striker's decision.
"We have had a discussion about the whole situation. The player says he is adamant he wants to leave," Ferguson said.
The manager said the 24-year-old Rooney, who will miss United's Champions League match against Bursaspor after injuring his ankle in training Tuesday, called off contract negotiations in August. The England striker's current deal at United runs out in the summer of 2012.
Ferguson said he was "dumbfounded" by Rooney's decision, telling United's television channel, MUTV: "Only months before, he was saying he was at the greatest club in the world and he wanted to stay for life."
"We just don't know what's changed the boy's mind," he added.
