My personal take on the possibility of Roooney joining us is the general feeling I get from others. It's not that Rooney wouldn't fit our squad because it is a footballing fact that Rooney is a prooven success in the BPL. He would be a success in any team that features in the Premier League and Europe when playing at his best. What stops me from wanting him here is that we are obviously in the process of building our own identity as on the field. We have an identity as a club but weather the fans like it or not, we are peeling our old skin and revieling a new body of players in the mould of flair, pace and creativity. Rooney will alwayys be apart of what United have been doing over the past 7 years plus. We took on a declining Torres who hasn't cut it here and deep in the memories of us all we know the peak of his career was as a Liverpool player not a Chelsea player. I fear if Rooney was to join us and for whatever reason didn't have atleast one successfull 20 plus goalscoring season, then we could be mentally damaged for a long time when regarding future signings. We need a new and exciting face to spearhead our attack, somebody who hasn't played in England before. Yes if we are to buy Lewa or Falcao which is looking unlikely and they flop we will be all raging and ranting that we made a mistake but if we buy Rooney and he doesn't bring the goals and presence that we lack up top then just imagine the mental scar it would leave after buying both a deadwood Torres and a flopping Rooney. I could be wrong and Rooney could be a major success here for the next 4 or 5 seasons considering his talent and prooven success at United but I'd rather not take my chances and see Cavani or someone else with less stigma surrounding him if he were to join.
