Wayne Rooney

Just Want A World Class Striker...

because Uniteds medical treatment is maybe in Manchester and not in Australia?

Australia isn't some third world country. I'm sure they have a facilities to treat a 'niggling hamstring injury'

According to @tancredipalmeri, Chelsea have contacted Rooney's agent. #CFC #MUFC

Well that settles it, we are definitely not going to sign him..

Vidic stayed in Manchester because he's injured, and will join the team latter. As a spokeman told : "In the meantime, he'll continue his pre-season preparations in Manchester at the Aon Training Complex." Nani, Smalling and Young are also missing the pre-season-tour because of injuries. One can presume that just as Vidic, they are in Manchester for medical treatment and/or re-education and/or rehabilitation.

And I don't know, I presume the players from the academy will start the training at some point during the preseason tour (if they hadn't started already). Some members of the medical staff must have stayed there.

So yeah, they are not the first team doctors. Though they have the necessary equipment under hand. They won't have to go from one hospital to another, from one gym to another to treat him. And I guess that it would be more convenient to take care of him because he will be regrouped with other injured players. Had he stayed with them, he would have been a deadweight because he would have take away some doctors and fitness coach away for him alone ; while he will work with people who are already dealing with injured players. Finally, yes the flight-back to England may cause him harms, but is taking him on the road Bangkok-Sydney-Yokohama-Osaka-Hong-Kong-Stockholm a really better thing ?

If he is injured for three weeks, that only makes sense to send him back to Manchester, in my view.

This. Thanks Peace.

Crespo, kezman, Sheva, and torres.

Join rooney so we can add you to the list of flops.

Strikers at Chelsea flop really bad unless their name is Drogba.

Crespo a flop? you can't be serious?

[captainjt26 106]

You just cant get a good fish and chips supper in Oz

[laeth 527]

Come on Rooney, start making more noise please - it looks like you're resting on your laurels. We need you and you're not going to win anything with Moyes next year!

Right so he was very good that we had to loan him to Milan.....

He struggled to settle in his first season so was loaned, he came back in 05/06 however and was probably the only player in Drogba's 8 years that competed well with him for #1 role.

Had one great year yes, but so did players like Malouda, and I will not be surprised if Torres also has his great year if he stays long enough.....

He simply failed to settle.his goals per game ratio was something like a goal every two games. Crespo is a very private person who likes the simple things in life. He listed his favourite things to do outside of football as jigsaw puzzles.to emphasize the kind of character he was...London life and the media was just too much for him.

Probably the classiest Argentine to have played in the English premier league and the way we helped him to be happy again was pretty classy too.

True, I will say you have a point.

But what's funny is that like the first season of Torres here at Chelsea I used to hear those same excuses.

Just that Torres had a worst record then Crespo.......

Always heard how he was a nice guy, he comes from Liverpool a smaller city. Hard to adjust at first and all that shenanigans.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,528]

Crespo scored 38 goals for us in two seasons.he never went months without scoring.he was never given game after game to try and break his bad spell.he produced when he was with us.

The reasons why he left are not to be confused with excuses for another player I never made nor brought into the conversation.

Crespo`s form was simply not the reason he left.his struggles adjusting to English life were.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Some weird comment but i dont think he meant Rooney wont be a starter for him.

David Moyes: "Overall my thought on @WayneRooney is, if for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie, we’ll need him" #CFC (Mirror)

lol wow imagine what he thinks if he reads that
