Wayne Rooney

What worries me is when there comes a point (which there will) where Rooney can't hit a barn door and Lukaku's on the best form (dus far) of his career, how will Rooney react to getting rightfully dropped? If he won't accept 2nd fiddle to RVP, he won't accept the same to Lukaku if or when the time comes.

Then at the time tell him he can find a new club or sit on the bench and that he is for sale.

At least we got Jose. He'll know what to do. He must have learned something after having to deal with even more spoiled bunch in Madrid

Whatever happens, I believe we'll deal better with him than Moyes and you won't be seeing public statements that Rooney is a firm second choice to Lukaku.

Rooney is 27, not 33. That point might not come for 2-3 years and I don't think Chelsea would be interested in Rooney if they thought that he wasn't likely to be their starter for the next few years at least. Rooney also works with this Chelsea team for a different reason. Chelsea want our attacking midfielders shooting and scoring and Rooney is great at holding the ball up and creating chances for other players. He not only had 12 goals last season, he had 10 assists. He had 3.7 long balls a game, he had 1.8 key passes, 0.6 crosses,he had 8 successful through-balls,etc... He is a fluid striker who fits in very well with our fluid attack (overlapping players making runs). Lukaku, right now is a more traditional #9/target man who doesn't fit quite as well with the rest of the squad we have right now. (We're not a team that is set up to feed the striker).

You don't wanna put that thought in his head. :Goober:

What was the dig Rooney said about Moyes ?

‘Can’t wait to join up with the England squad and hopefully play in a competitive match, they always are against Scotland.

‘Big thanks to Roy Hodgson for selecting me and showing his faith and support, appreciate it.’

This is exactly why ive come around this transfer. Hes at the same level as lewandoski when it comes to link up play.

Surely we shouldn't give more than 30 mil for him.

Just read Bryan Robson's being a douche about this whole thing calling our bid an 'insult'.

we can expect Sir Bobby Charlton to spout some rubbish soon .. Strange SAF has said nothing .

l in no way read anything other than appreciation for his international manager. Far too much being read into that quote

He has the time to talk about owl head, but he can't put Manchester United's fans at rest?

This is the cunt you want to sign. Good luck.

Yes, the same cunt who your supporters are terrified of seeing in a blue shirt.

"Gift wrapping Chelsea the title," as they put it.

You miss the whole point. I can't be bothered to talk to idiot Americans.

I dont like his attitude at all kind of reminds me of Torres, dont think his worth the hustle really

I see what you're getting at, but looking at the bigger picture.. Rooney & Torres have very different 'attitudes' indeed.

Torres is a delicate fragile flower who crumbles under pressure of any kind, a deer in the headlights. Rooney is a testosterone fulled ape, who doesn't give a fuck.
