Wayne Rooney

[Special Juan 27,440]

I know what the fucking word means. Do you not understand we have an overload of attacking mids?! So who gives a shit if he can play as CAM? Mata can play there and he doesn't need to play as striker, why? Because he's so fucking good at being a midfielder! For me, that's impressive enough. And he's ten times better than Rooney at it; as will Oscar/KDB become a better than Rooney there but that's as long as some fat, injury-prone, aging, jack of all trades, master of none, tit isn't taking up their game time simply because he's 'versatile'. Those players can master those positions for the next 10+yrs for us, but only if they're allowed to. They won't sit on the bench forever.

So sorry if I'm not wanking over Rooney just because he's English and can play more than one position.

I'm sorry mate but you have completely lost the plot here, I get the impression you are quite angry too.

Rooney is English, can play more than one position and is bloody good at it, that's why buying him makes sense.

I will look forward to your response full of swear words, angry retorts and dismissive quotes....Oh and if you want you can shot a load of smilies in their too.

This.

I find it funny how people think Rooney would be a good signing because he can play CAM, is good at passing and works hard by tracking back! LOL! Do people not realise we need a World Class striker? We are not looking for someone who can play CAM as we already have Mata, Hazard, Oscar and KdB who can play there! we also don't need a striker who is a good passer! as we have enough of those already! and we also don't need a striker who will chase a player back to his own area! That is why this signing makes no sense, I would much rather see Lukaku play front! who will actually give us what we need! rather than playing a CAM as our Striker! also the fact that Rooney is in decline and is injury prone! makes this whole transfer even more laughable than the Torres transfer!

I think Romelu will become 1st choice ahead of Rooney anyway, Rooney wont be fully fit for the Hull game and Lukaku will take his chance and keep his place in the team! I will laugh and cry so hard when this happens!

Make him handle the transfer request.

Sign him quickly.

Hang on a minute, you say we need a world class striker but say you want Lukaku up front? Are you delusional? If we sign a world class striker for 40M do you think Lukaku is going to get the start you are craving for? Not a chance.

Think about it, please.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

The main reason why people want him here is because we have run out of options for a world class striker.Although I feel it would be better if we stick with the striking options we have at the moment.Torres,Lukaku and Ba is a decent strike force and may not be that risky as some people think.

Spending 25m+ and paying 250k a week for a player who was never our Plan A just doesn't make sense.

[captainjt26 106]

Nowhere near funny, I'm sorry.

....Why dont be sorry I was purposely being unfunny ...hence the troll faces

[Tricky 301]

Seems to me Utd want rid of Rooney, why else would Moyes have made such inflammatory comments? Probably challenging him to hand in a transfer request so he forgoes some monster loyalty fee / clause in his contract.

This is on IMO, and I personally think its going to be a great piece of business.

Come on Roobey, you could be the new "fat frank"!!!!

[Tricky 301]

Jose at his best, I feel. He created a havoc at Manures. Whether Roonski comes to Chelsea or not, that´s irrelevant.

Pre-season chaos was already created. Jose will eat Moyless & Pellegrini at will.

100% agree.... Jose at his best, create havoc in there squad, put Moyes under immediate pressure and ensure the press are joining UTD!!! Lol guys a genius, win win for us, we get Rooney.... Great.... He stays at UTD and sulks.. Great!!!!

Over the years, I have not seen anyone better than Jose, I feel. This guy is a pain in the butt when it comes to manipulate other teams. His PR system at its best, I feel. Moyless plank is an apprentice in comparison.

People don't think that though. They think he's a world class striker who also offers these other things to the team.

I'm all for giving Lukaku a chance and I've said that on many occasions, but if Rooney is actually available at this price and Jose thinks he can get him back to his form of 12 months ago (people tend to forget what he was like, or just choose to make shit up) then it's hard not to go for him.

If we sign a world class striker like Suarez or Ibra i would obviously want them to be 1st choice, but if we end up with Rooney who isnt a World class striker then obviously i would rather Lukaku up front! not very difficult to understand is it?

Keep hearing that Rooney is in decline.... Yet he has scored over 45 goals in the last two seasons, last year he barely played up from yet still bagged a goal every other game. All this suggests is that Fergie rated Roobey over RVP, which isn't a bad call RVP is a monster, and Rooney can play deeper.

Then I hear he is injured.... He was out three times last year, none of his injuries were recurring and one was a bloody huge gash on his thigh. And even I he does miss the odd game, so what isn't that why you have a squad?

His ability can't be doubted (really don't care what you think, the footballing world disagrees with you), if Jose can reignite that passion and drive in him your getting a world class player for £25m, almost as much as some of you want us to splash on Bentenke. Guy practically pays for himself in shirt sales.

This is a no brainier....

rooney is a world-class striker.... dont know how anyone can doubt this.

You want Lukaku to start but want a world class striker.

You don't want Rooney because he isn't world class.

Riiiggghhhhhtttt

[Pacquiao 1,834]

rooney is a world-class striker....

Rooney is a world class CAM, most of his best attributes are actually useful when he plays there unlike when he plays as a striker, Rooney is declining physically, and has had to adapt his game, that is why he is much better CAM than Striker now.

[bushman 2,043]

The only reason Roonski was not as effective as before cos he wasn´t used properly. Even though, I am skeptical of him, under Jose he could easily become 25 or even more goal scorer, I feel.

He was used as a striker just a season ago and scored 34 goals. Has he declined so much in the last 12 months that he's no longer capable of playing there? Has he lost that electric pace (which he never had in the first place)?

So much shit spoken about one player it's unbelievable.

You want Lukaku to start but want a world class striker.

You don't want Rooney because he isn't world class.

Riiiggghhhhhtttt

I'm happy to point out that Lukaku could be a world class striker. He has all the tools.

But so does Rooney as well. It seems people are prepared to make themselves look a little silly to support their arguments.
