coolhead23 1,147 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Rooney is pretty much like the Juggernaut (if u know what i mean) ... Exactly what was needed today . Suits well to Jose's philosophy, no wonder why he is after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,514 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 No, I've always said from the beginning for weeks now that Wayne is exactly what we need, regardless of what happened against Real today simply because we don't have a striker of his ilk in the team.Torres, Lukaku and Ba all find it difficult to hold the ball in tight spaces so their link up play isn't as good as what Rooney would bring to the table. Rooney's ability and intelligence in playing in between the lines is exactly why we need a striker like him as its more beneficial for the likes of Hazard or Mata when they do have that focal point who can bring them into play there. That in itself adds massively to our build up play - having a striker that's on the same wavelength as the three in behind him with his movement, first touch, technical ability etc; our current strikers don't really have those capabilities at this moment. Lukaku can still learn it but it's far too late for Ba and Torres.I completely get why Mourinho wants him, even wanted him before Mourinho was officially unveiled as it makes perfect sense to me.We could of gone after Jovetic and saved ourselves from this whole Rooney saga.I just don't see Moyes agreeing to sell Rooney UNTIL he signs a big name player...and that player will most likely be Fellaini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the club would be putting all of their eggs in one basket if they didn't think Rooney was gettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The club will know what is going on with Rooney, it's a delicate situation, we must remain patient but at the fore front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Think Roo is the difference between looking good and playing nice stuff and winning titles. Really like Lukaku but I have My reservations about him and his ability to lead the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Moyes has made it clear Rooney will not play for #MUFC again unless he either submits a transfer request or commits himself. (Mirror) #CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Moyes has made it clear Rooney will not play for #MUFC again unless he either submits a transfer request or commits himself. (Mirror) #CFCuntil the end of this month when he will play again for us or them because MU is not going to throw away £12m a year for nothing and risk losing out up to £20m for a crap 12 months of service from him.

Stingray 9,441 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Honestly I don't think it's a striker problem. The problem arises when we have to make a transition from defense to attack. The same problem we have been having for years now. Getting any sort of marquee striker won't solve our problems if he isn't getting anything to feed on. But yeah if Rooney can do something out of nothing then, maybe.Spot on .... if the Real game showed anything it is this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wayne Rooney is 'unlikely' to play in the Community Shield"I don't think he is going to be fit and available. Of course we are still hoping he will, but I have a feeling he won't make it," said Moyes.http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/8860196/wayne-rooney-is-unlikely-to-play-in-the-community-shield-according-to-david-moyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Of course he wont play, far too much speculation kicking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjperdeath 2,226 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 He would just turn around mid-game , take of his shirt that reveals the words "Fuck this , I'm out" and walk off down the tunnel with two fingers aloft. Better tell him he has an injury then let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The silence from Rooney is deafening really. Totally different from what the whole Suarez saga has been, one vocal man that wants out and is basically sinking his own ship to Rooney who has said nothing. For me there is nothing left for Suarez to say, he'll go, with Rooney and the silence he could hand in a transfer request or come out any day and reveal his love for United.It's a very strange situation with Rooney.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 We have a chance to either let Hulk get angry and smash his opponents (Lukaku) VSSigning Captain America ( Rooney )While signing captain america sounds like a sexy option, People only choose to see Hulk in his non angry form, and therefore dont rate his smashing ability when he is angry.Lukaku needs the chance to get Angry, because thats the secret, "he's always angry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Arsenal forum they are all dieing to see Suarez signed even though they bash him a lot during the racism and biting incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
