Pacquiao 1,834 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 You were the one that brought Torres into it...yeah i was making the point that people on here are overrating Rooney with his stats this season, if i say Torres has 21 goals this season you will say yeah he has played like 60 games and almost all his goals were against pub teams, but with Rooney he also has score almost all his goals against 'pub teams' but because its Rooney that doesn't matter apparently.

Fair enough, but I don't think it's fair to directly compare Rooney and Torres' stats simply because Rooney hasn't played as the main striker this season as Torres has.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If there is one thing why I wouldnt take Rooney, is because he is ManU player and legend. I would take Lewa or Cavani and make him our very own legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono 791 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Buy Rooney and we are basically funding a United purchase of Bale or Lewandowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 there are normally no easy goals in the pl so i wouldnt criticize him for not scoring against the big teams especially when he hasnt been playing as a striker. premier league goals are all important. aston villa are crap this year does that make lampard brace vs them unimportant?

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 People keep saying its unfair to talk about Rooney's goals as he hasn't played as the main striker this season then people should stop bringing up his goal tally for this season as a way of arguing why we should sign him.

Ronaldo 28 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Isn't Rooney best friends with Terry... Maybe that's what they were discussing warning up on the sidelines together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have got a horrible feeling that we are going to sign Rooney Just the timing of this whole thing makes me think we will, Rooney knows Mourinho is coming, He knows Chelsea need a striker, he knows the club are stupid enough to buy him! only thing is though i cant see us getting him for anything less than £40mil which is just a waste!

Exactly how I feel. I think I'll take a break from football for a while if we do sign Rooney. It will be painful reliving the Torres experience.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm actually getting that strange feeling that we could end up with Rooney, Ronaldo with Mourinho. That's actually a quite mental feeling to actually think it could happen even if it's only about 20%, it's not exactly fantasy like it coulda been.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Mourinho in 2010."I'm going to say it because it is impossible," Mourinho replied when asked to name one player he wanted to work with. "I would like to coach Rooney, as much for his football as for his mentality. But my friend, [sir] Alex Ferguson, can relax, because it's impossible."
