Essien19 1,415 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Horrible display, losing 3 in a row isn't just bad luck anymore. They have possession, but no incentive to play towards goal except crosses, no quick passing, no metronome. Must make big calls now, Rooney, enough is enough! Fecking Pep is running away with it...

I think Rooney might be their Ivanovic. No matter how crappy he is Mourinho will never drop him. 😂 kellzfresh and Fulham Broadway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there's pressure from the executives, Rooney is the biggest brand in England, no one ever dropped him. Sweet, sweet gift from Moyes, back in the day Ferguson was ready to cut him off. Wayne could be the first player who more or less won the battle against Ferguson. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford had the toughest first 5 fixtures and he has done a great job. 352 can work in PL too. Yeah!

I kinda disagree because pogba is better offensively than both matic and kante but poorer defensively and no you cannot play kante and pogba. Basically pogba cannot play in 2 man midfield.

DYC. 7,542 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 De Gea Valencia/Darmian - Smalling - Bailly - Shaw Herrera - DM* - Pogba Mkhitaryan - Ibrahimovic - Martial/Rashford *One of Schneiderlin, Blind, Carrick, Schweini That's not a side to rival Barcelona but that's a good team. Plenty of potential as well. They have good alternatives as well for rotation and tactical changes (Young is still Utd player haha, amazing). Hazard, Kante, Azpilicueta and possibly Cesc are the only players who could demand a spot in that team. City is better. Arsenal can match their quality on paper. Man, top four is gonna be tough.

For the life of me how can you position Pogba as a number 6 or 10. José needs to figure it out. Can ask for advice to Conte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team was away in Portugal for pre season, but a 20yo Seydou Doumbia was in Bucharest waiting for them to get back so he can start the trial. Meanwhile he was training on his own while we were playing five a side football. When the team got back the manager rejected him and he went to Switzerland's Young Boys. A year later CSKA bought him for 15m. 2) In 2006, 21yo Koscielny and some other anonymous player was having a trial for a defunct team now, Otopeni FC, near Bucharest. They kept the anonymous player and rejected Koscielny. 3) Rapid Bucharest, again, had 18yo Obi Mikel (2005) and 21 yo Kolarov (2007) at their training ground, but rejected both. Mikel then went to Lyn Oslo and one year later to Chelsea. For Kolarov, some team in Belgrade asked 600k, but Rapid Bucharest did not want to pay that "much" money and they sold him to Lazio instead. Three years later City bought him. 4) 18yo Zoran Tosic was close to Timisoara (now bankrupt) for 400k. Everything was agreed with the player, but the Romanian club did not want to pay the money. He went to Partizan and two years later to Man United. 5) In 2005, 20yo Taye Taiwo was playing for a Nigerian team, agent brought him to Romania, but once again, Rapid Bucharest rejected him . Went to Marseille instead. 6) In 2006, 20yo Falcao was coming after a torn ACL and some time off the pitch because of the injury. He wanted to come to Steaua Bucharest, but Steaua penny pinched at a few millions and he stayed at River. Two years later he went to Porto. Anderlecht once rejected both young Roberto Carlos and Ruud van Nistelrooy. How's that? ;-) petre.ispirescu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Sinclair and Murphy had their list off excuses for Rooney on MOTD just now, didn't know whether to laugh or cringe.

He's been playing the game since 16 years of age, and now all those minutes/kilometres on the pitch/training ground are taking its toll on Rooney. He's been involved in about 600 games (club + international)...most of his former team-mates/colleagues are either in the MLS or pundits It will be interesting to see what position he plays for the rest of his career....as he isn't a striker and he's definitely not a midfielder...
