because replacing rooney

would cost a transfer fee - say 40 million
and the new player would demand at least 100k p.w. - say 26 million over 5-yr contract

And he could still be a complete dud.

So the 'real' cost is only 15 or 20 million, which is well worth it if Rooney continues to contribute to success.
