Okay, rooney has been picking up too many injuries for my liking and is beginning to remind me of essien's injury problems. He'll be 29-30 by next season and his injury problems can only get worse. Looks like a risky option to me. I'm I the only one that is no longer keen on getting rooney anymore?
Exactly. People forget that bayern last season were based on immense work rate, that got them to concede only 14goals in the league all season. If we add a clinical striker, that's 1-2 goals extra than we have in every match this season.
People wanted us to buy gundogan or a cabaye to play with ramires. In my opinion it was just too small in size for a pivot which mourinho agrees. Now with matic, he has both the size of mikel and the workrate of ramires combined. This makes it easy to buy a ball passing CM like modric beside him. And we won't lose the physical battle in the midfield. Ramires - gundogan = aerial and physically weak pivot Matic - gundogan = complete pivot Matic - ramires = Brazilian NT pivot, max energy
Won't happen as fast as we all think. I hope we get him around 20-25mil, benfica didn't qualify for champs lge, they'll take it. How will luiz feel about this lol
