Wayne Rooney to sign for Galway United?

Wayne Rooney, Man Utd's talismanic forward, has remained tight-lipped amid growing speculation that he is to sign for Galway United in a bid to escape the pressures of life in a Mancunian goldfish bowl.

Man Utd boss Alex Ferguson revealed earlier today that he was surprised and bemused by Rooney's decision to leave Old Trafford.

A woman, who wishes to remain nameless, denied that Rooney had spent time recently at her B&B in Connemara "angling, mountain-climbing and playing the low whistle ".

Quay Street, Galway, was buzzing all afternoon with unsubstantiated claims and counter-claims that someone resembling Wayne Rooney had been seen boarding a bus for Barna.

A passer-by opined: "Where better than Galway for Wayne Rooney to escape the attentions of the media?
I know that he hasn't scored a goal from play in recent times, but Galway United could surely find a place for him."

At the time of going to press, Galway United officials were unavailable for comment.

Galway Property Prices

Property prices in Galway City have plunged by 43% since the peak of the property market in 2006 according to the latest report by propert website myhome.ie.

This is the "most dramatic fall recorded in urban areas".

At the peak of the market the median price of property in Galway was €450K. It is now €255,00.

The author of the report, Jean Goggin, an economic consultant with DKM Economic Consultants said that the data suggests that the national property price decline in 2010 is unlikely to exceed the magnitude of decline experienced in 2009 but that we will have to see an improvement in the labour market and the general economy before the property market picks up.

She said: "Last year the overall decline was 14.5% and so far this year the annual decline is 13%. While this suggests some improvement in property market conditions it is clear that we have not yet reached the bottom of the market. However 2011 is likely to bring some improvement in the general economic climate which should boost consumer confidence and provide more certainty to households regarding employment and incomes. We could then see a modest improvement in some segments of the market."
