Wayne Rooney

my take on Rooney is that he was the best English talent since Gazza when he first came on the stage and thereafter signed for United. His best years were certainly between when he was 19-23. He was a beast. However, I never classed him as world class, despite the amount of goals he scored for England and United.

Certainly has quality but when off his game he has looked poor. The US was always going to be destination after United. Seems this move has done him the world of good.

Firstly, I am a Rooney fan .. yes he is doing very well in the MLS, but having recently watched an MLS game, the standard is not that great tbh .. not knocking Rooney, but with his talent and energy he should be a stand out player which he is

Never believed the hype around him to be fair but he was talented for sure his energy, workrate and passion was what made him stand out abit more though

Did you watch the 2004 euros?
He would have single handedly won us that tournament had he not unfortunately got injured.

He unfortunately peaked too early in his career but I genuinely would have loved to have seen Wayne Rooney from back then playing in this current England team...
We’d be unbelievable

Each to their own, but you cant be overrated and be the all time Man Utd and England goalscorer if you dont have something about you.
 

Wayne Rooney

Went from overrated to underrated all in one career!

You don’t score those goals for England and Man Utd and be anything less than a “top-top” player.

One of those players, that in the passage of time, we will look back on and talk about how good he was IMO. Off the field antics aside maybe :laugh:

Bit like Beckham for me. A very good player but built up by the media to be world class. I don't think either of them were. But as a poster said earlier, each to their own.

Good post mate, because of the lack of quality out there. Rooney scored a great goal, that would not have happened in our Premier league. Rooney however has been a bloody good footballer

Too much Beck's? Just by the by, for 250 TAPs, but more importantly as part of your phonetics/pronunciation training with me, are you able to offer the correct Dutch pronunciation of the word "Grolsch"?

I guess it's based on FIFA Ultimate Team packs and similar computer game purchased content where you don't know the outcome of your investment until it's opened. Can't imagine many 12 year olds are watching the 3o'clock at Kempston while on their Bet365 account! The computer game stuff needs clamping down on big time, it's an absolute piss take however you look at it, £50 for a game and then spend spend spend getting total rubbish until you repeat the process when the next year's version is released. People are literally spending thousands of pounds a year on this junk, it's not right.
 

Wayne Rooney

I think he could do very well here as a player in the Championship and as a coach. One can say it is only the MLS but he had been one of the star players out there and adapted very well to the environment, if his wife didn’t want him home he could stay on top there for another couple of years, he will be a threat in our league for sure.

As for a coaching career well good luck to him. He is in reality brighter than people make him out to be and has a very good football brain and knowledge of the game. Maybe he will be able to move on from his laddish reputation from the past.

The EFL have strict rules on advertising on shirts with size limits

The Big Number 32 on back of Rooney could get Derby in trouble

If people stopped talking about the "controversy" around the number, there wouldn't be a problem. No-one actually rationally links squad numbers with sponsors, but the media are ensuring that the sponsor are getting more than their money's worth by drawing attention to it.

Agreed. But I think more companies are realising that deliberately manufacturing controversy can be quite an effective way of getting exposure. They know the media will bite because they need stories. See Paddy Power.

Makes his debut as captain tonight for 17th placed Championship side Derby County. What a waste of money compared to how BFC spend theirs.

I'm sure he'll put a few bums on seats for them, and no doubt this will now be 'Wayne Rooney's Derby County'.
 

Wayne Rooney

Has he touched the ball yet ? Watching periodically and not seen him do anything, bar waving his hands about asking others to do things.
Nothing to worry about here. 15 goals this season they said for Derby. No chance
 

Wayne Rooney

The game is sh@t. Rooney has offered absolutely nothing. I am so grateful to watch our stars. There is so little individual skill in either of these teams.
 

Wayne Rooney

It's been a poor game to be honest. Derby slightly edge overall but Barnsley have been better the last 5-10 minutes.
As for Rooney, its been 10 men for Derby. Is it a fitness thing, that is match fit?
 

Wayne Rooney

So far a low quality game which is passing him by a bit. Good free kick for Derby’s goal though.

.............any rainbow flicks?????.........
 

Wayne Rooney

Have we got to put up with this Rooney sh*t for the rest of the season. FFS a bog standard free kick headed in. He's not been in the game and let's be honest it's a bit of a step up from the MLS. Que Sky MOM.
 

Wayne Rooney

Overpaid, past it, prima donna, who will offer Derby nothing, in the long term.. that’s my thoughts so far.
Good free kick, give him credit for that, but other than that, he has been an embarrassment.. slow, no pace and useless

............a perfect fit for Derby then................

Thank god fat frank left for Chelsea, imagine him and rooney together, would have been a circus
 

Wayne Rooney

24 touches all 1st half.
That's 1 touch approximately every 2 minutes....

When they scored, didn't go celebrate with the players, he went to the bench for a drink. I'm sorry, but that shows he is in it for himself and nothing more. A minute before half time and you need a drink. You've done nothing to have to need it. Of course the cameras panned on him solely after quickly showing Marriott celebrating with the rest of team.
 

Wayne Rooney

The worst thing that could happen was Rooney taking the free kick for the Derby goal.

More to be announced on Friday

Some harsh comments about Rooney IMHO , it’s going to take him a while to get used to bottom half Championship football. He’s just made a sublime 40 yard pass to help set up second goal.
 

Wayne Rooney

He's got a busy evening, he's got to bail out Coleen afterwards as presumably she's been arrested for drinking in sight of the pitch. Banning order to come too.

Keep them coming, the more Derby games the fewer bees games.

Blatant advert for a betting firm

Is Jamie Vardy in the box with Mrs Rooney watching ?
 

Wayne Rooney

It will take time for him to get used to Championship... Tbh some of the players around him are bang average
 

Wayne Rooney

Derby are pathetic. Long may they continue spunking £millions on marquee names that achieve nothing for them. A ***** run club.
