So much for injury...

[YouNameIt 1,511]

After Watching today's game, now I'm 100 percent sure that we need Rooney. None of our strikers are big game players. Buying Rooney will give us a great advantage in the UCL and the EPL.

Eh...Do you mind explaining in what way the friendly against Real made you realize this? For gods sake, we couldnt feed our striker with SHIT. The problem wasnt our striker, it was that we couldnt keep possession for 10 seconds and kept losing the ball. Rooney would have made very little impact in that game for sure.

I will only believe it when it is in the Metro

[Mouri_Matic 560]

This is what will happen eventually:

Chelsea sign Rooney

Arsenal sign Suarez

MU sign Felaini

Barcelona sign a defender that is not world class

Real Madrid sign Bale

Spurs sign a sign a shit load of decent players for good fee starting with Capoune

Liverpool sign a striker to replace Suarez but he will not be world class

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

His exit is almost certain but his move here is not

@toli

how should gustavo fix our problems? we need a DM who can, even when pressured, build-up a play and be the link between midfield and strikers. gustavo is just a destroyer. we dont need a destroyer, we need someone who can pass the ball and build-up a play. gustavo would be a no-brainer

Which player could help us ?

Rooney training with the reserves

[Rom2013 446]

Lukaku is not ready to be our main striker. He is too young for that and right now Torres is our best option, so ...if we don't buy a world class striker we are screwed.

We need a striker, maybe Etoo too to play in the wing, and a DM. Then we are ready to compeat for the Champions League.

We can't fight with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern with a team that has 5 or 6 players with 20 years old.

It looks like Roonski is being chased away from the training grounds, lately. Well done Jose.

Eto'o is on £325k per week LOL

Etoo will be out of Anzhi this season and he won't earn that kind of money anywhere. I think he can be a great buy for us, Schurrle is struggling a lot, Moses is not good enouth, the others are not really wingers, they are mostly central miedfielders. We have too many young players in the squad in my opinion and we need to choose who is ready right now to help the team and who is not.

Gustavo's name is popping up a lot, but I'm willing to bet that IF we sign a DM it is going to be Khedira

U have seen Khedira yesterday. He is by far Real's worst player. Not really an upgrade on Essien, Mikel or MvG. Gustavo >>> Khedira.

Fine by me. Very quietly did a nice job last night as he usually does.

So what do you guys think, if he plays in the testimonial or Community Shield, will he still be leaving?

Edited August 8, 2013 by Pizy

[Pizy 18,989]

He won't. After today Rooney situation is pretty clear.

Hope so mate. We need him.

[Special Juan 28,187]

Rooney won't feature for Frogs game tomorrow or Community Shield....He won't kick another ball for United IMO.

[bushman 2,043]

Rooney is preparing himself for first game against Hull but far from our squad.

The poor chap, must train in his backyard, these days. I bet, half of the Manure team is pissed off at him.

Okay, i was not too keen on this transfer because i gave up when we didnt get cavani or lewandoski. But i think im coming around this transfer. We all have complained of how our attack seems blunt and out of ideas, but we may not know that it could actually be solved with a proper link up striker.

All our strikers like the through pass in open space but none of them can actually keep it in tight spaces. This means we are practically playing with ten men when the opposition defends deep and blocks channels since(torres, lukaku, ba) thrive on space.

This fact is evident in German national team where they looked toothless with gomez up front but far better with klose as the top striker for link up.

All these years where we have complained that we are being toothless we never had a mobile, link up striker(lewandoski, aguero, rooney, tevez, suarez, benzema, mandzukic, jovetic) These are all mobile and make the attack more dangerous with link up passes with the am, wingers and runs all over the pitch.

So i think we need to go all out and get rooney, even if he gives us just 3 good years. He could mould lukaku into a proper striker by then.
