Wayne Rooney

I'm beginning to think that Rooney might have been better off had he remained at Goodison Park rather than being constantly under national scrutiny in the Old Trafford goldfish bowl.
 

Wayne Rooney

He's out of form for Christ's sake,I do not have a doubt in my mind that he will come good again.

A front line of Rooney, Beattie and Johnson (plus the talents of Cahill, Arteta etc) would definitely have been good to see though,and would easily get Everton champions league football at the very least.

You always thought that though, due to your belief that football should work in the same way as it did in the 1950s, despite the complete change in the economics of the game! :D

Players in the England team, especially if they are as talented as Rooney, will be in the media spotlight, no matter where they play.

Rooney is lucky that he is at a club who are used to dealing with this sort of thing :shrug:

He is playing poorly, mainly due to being rushed back for the World Cup (if you want a lower level example look at Pratley's performances from January onwards) but he'll be ok.
 

Wayne Rooney

I have always wondered if he was one of those players who is immensely strong and effective as a youth but when his body gets into adulthood ( and he's hardly athletic in the real sense) they lose that edge, pace and maybe spontaneity that gave them so much in earlier years...ditto Owen too to be honest.

we only had 1 decent striker in the past 10 years.. his name is Alan Shearer. Rooney, though, will come good in the end.. give him time guys (and gals)

I can understand that your lack of experience might lead you to that conclusion Ed, but that was never my viewpoint. ;). When Manchester United came knocking, Rooney was still a very young player just making his mark at Everton and I think he could have benefited from more experience there under less of a spotlight than he has had to endure with Man U, Europe etc.

I do not recommend a change back to all the old ways but more a blend of the best of the old with the best of the new. I would certainly like to see the sport in the control of people whose primary interest was the game, sportsmanship and competitiveness rather than money, money, money.
 

Wayne Rooney

I think Fergie is the man to make him a great player.

Fergie has always said he would love to have been given a chance to groom wur Gazza, I can only imagine what an amasing career he would have had under the watchfull eye of old red face.
 

Wayne Rooney

I (and I suspect Van Nistelrooy, Stam and Beckham) beg to differ. In fact Rooney appears to have regressed under the curmudgeonly Scot.
 

Wayne Rooney

Stam = ****
Posh Spice's Bitch and Van Nistelroy had fannytastic careers under old red face.

Rooney will have only benefited from being at United in terms of developing as a player, I can't understand your comment ? :confused: Bad form is Bad form, even some of the greats have been there before...

Yeah but them players are only there because of the money generated from the Rooney transfer...

That's because I hold the opposite view i.e Rooney appears not to be benefitting from being at United in terms of developing as a player or as a man. IMHO he acts like a prima donna on an off the field, fouling gratuitously and frequently and failing to score goals. He has published his "memoirs" before he has had time to accumulate any. What's hard to understand?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. In comparison to your opinion, I don't think Rooney is a prima donna on or off the field. Certainly people will always have this perception due to his quality on the pitch, I personally think he is quite honest and hardworking on the pitch. Him being a prima donna off the pitch I certainly don't understand ?...Because he's done a book already. Ok. Surely there must be more substance than that to make him a prima donna. I may be wrong but overall...Agreed to disagree. :wave:

He has been United's best player for the past 2 seasons and following injury and suspension he is currently having a dip in form. That all, get over it. :wave:

A cracking performance by our Wayne against Wigan on Saturday. He took the piss in the second half setting up two of United's goals. :sorted:

Gotta take my hat off to Rooney DB. He made jackasses out of us doubters this week!


However, I'll reserve judgement on the "class" category until he has shown over a decent length of time that he has control of his temper and doesn't yield silly fouls. Hopefully I'll be able to eat my words then too.
 

Wayne Rooney

But when did he last do it at the top level in premier league, champ league or for England?

Excellent player, but still has to prove it at the highest level. I hope he does.

What are you on about. He was on fire when he got crocked. England beckoned if I am not losing my marbles.

Edit: Just read your opinion about Rooney so I know you are just on the wind up anyway so don't worry about replying.

There surely needs to be some serious investigation of modern day football boots ? These sorts of injuries simply didn't seem to happen even five years ago and now foot fractures and broken metatasals seem to be commonplace.

To my mind, player's feet are being left hopelessly exposed to such injuries in the race for boots to be lighter and lighter.

he's a dad now to Kai Wayne, sounds like the name of a chinese restaurant
 

Wayne Rooney

:D :imwith:

The kid is already 500s to play for England. Put a £1 Double with that and with Brentford to win the league this year and you will lose a pound.

Wayne Rooney

My neighbour is called Kai, he's a local policeman in Wiltshire. I work with a Kai, he's German and one of our customer's has a Kai, he's Swiss.

It's not that unusual; I was expecting a name like Brandon or Kyle, probably spelled Branden or Kile!
 

Wayne Rooney

are the FA scared of him, like the refs??
The Football Association has warned Wayne Rooney over his future conduct for his remark to TV cameras

Don't think you can justify banning a player for saying '12 men'. That said he should be given a 10 match ban just for being Wayne Rooney.

I see Fergie got off again for comments at the same game.

:rolleyes:
