<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wayne Rooney and fiancee Coleen McLoughlin are set to outshine the Beckhams in the money stakes after the footballer secured a record-breaking £100million six year deal with Manchester United. The huge contract makes Rooney, 21, the highest-paid player in British football history. He will earn about £35million in salary alone - with the rest coming from a string of lucrative commercial deals which will run over the duration of his new contract. The England striker has tie-ups with Nike, Asda, Coca-Cola and EA Sports. Despite his youth, he has already struck a £5million deal with HarperCollins for a minimum of five books about his life. Rooney and fiancee Coleen McLoughlin live in a £4million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire. Before last summer's World Cup, Rooney allegedly ran up £700,000 in gambling debts.</div>Before they even consider capping transfer fees, they need to cap wages! No athlete deserves that much - it's absolutely ridiculous.
