I wonder has the ankle injury Rooney picked up against Bayern in the away leg any bearing on Rooneys state of mind ?
Did Ferguson force him back too quickly for the second leg ,Rooney has been atrocious since that incident.
Perhaps Rooney blames Ferguson for rushing him back and his subsequent poor form in the World Cup.
Just a thought .

Nah i think people are'nt giving Rooney the credit here he deserves. Why would he want to stay at a club in decline on and to a huge extent off the pitch when he can double his wages at another club who are more likely to be challanging for honours in the near future. It's a no brainer for him.

Cop the **** on the two of ye and take the childish tit for tat to PM.

I'll gladly take the ban/infraction for back seat modding if it gets ye to stop ruining this thread with your childish and immature name calling crap.

Grow up the pair of ye!!

So, by your same logic its a no brainer for Torres to up and leave at the end of the season as well? And it a lesser extent, Fabregas should be packing his bags.

Macheda will never be a cracking player.
He'll be a good sub, that's about it.

You can have all the hopes you want for Cleverly, but that won't make him a top player. He'll be at Ipswich, or whatever club Roy Keane is managing , in 4 years.

Whatever, I have faith in our youth system.

Grand.
No-one has come through it for years.
J Evans maybe, but he's not been looking the best.

Tbh i'd accepted Torres will be going months ago. Can you blame him with the manager we have. Will the ownership situation change that? Who knows. Fabregas i'd say is in his final season with Arsenal.

If Rooney doesn't wanna play for the best club in the world then he can fcuk off.

We don't need players who don't appreciate our club

In SAF we trust

Torres and Rooney will go to chelski and city ....who goes where?

Mister men

Guy i work with has gone from "I actually think he will do better then Ronaldo. Sure he isn't as technical but he makes the team better and his English mentality is the stuff that makes him a future captain and current legend" to now "I wish he'd **** off to City, never liked him as a player.:pac:
It's why i love football tbh.

Next time United advertise a picture of a player celebrating a city goal, I'll buy everyone here a pint. Whatever the colour they paint it!

Cleverley and Macheda will become first team regulars I would imagine.

In time we'll see Pogba, Eikrem, Morrisson and Keane maybe? and King.

That's a pretty good return in my book.

Just so I am very clear, I think the following players will make it into the United regular team, and deservedly so.

Bardesly
McShane
Pique
Spector
David Jones
Ronaldo
Rossi
Rooney

United are producing another golden generation

No at United it is all about long term. Not just this season. Noone is doubting that United are below their usual extremely high standard at the moment, even with Rooney in the side. Noone is doubting that United are financially in trouble at the moment so can't go out and buy 5 new world class players in January.
But very few United fans doubt that our troubles on the pitch are long term. We will find a Rooney successor either at the club or somewhere. We do have alot of youth coming true that are extremely promising. And we do have the most successful PL club with the best manager to get us through these tough times.

Torres most likely to Inter or so it's been rumoured and Rooney to City seems to be nailed on. Chelsea would have to offer us a ****load of cash for Torres to keep him in England i'd say most likely in excess of 70m.

Inter have Eto'o and Milito, they don't need Torres.

3 players made it on the big stage from that list. Pity we couldn't have held on to Pique.

Here's hoping I get luckier than PHB!

Utd will struggle to make the top 3 this season. As a liverppol fan I can (happily) say that Rooney is a traitor. Too big headed to make peace and let Baygons be baygons. Football needs managers like Fergie to give players a good kick up the ar$e, settle them down and just focus on football, not this high rolling celebrity life. Rooney you made a very bad decision leaving utd.

With the form both Rooney and Torres are showing at the moment they would be lucky to get a game with Shamrock Rovers

Pique, Rooney and Ronaldo? None of them were products of the academy, though...

None of the big English academies are producing players like they used to. Dunno if that's down to the 90 minute rule, lack of investment or an increase in foreign players, but I reckon it will be a long time before we see another "golden generation" emerge from an English academy.

I have been watching him play week in week out for the last 6 years and I have always thought his first touch was his weakest attribute.
His touch is poor for a player supposedly in the top 3 in Europe.
He has 2 good feet,is strong on the ball ,reads the ball very well and is a good passer.
He doenst have much pace though and is a poor dribbler.


He is far from a perfect centre forward and his international and club scoring record would prove that.
If he is marked tightly by a fast centre back ,he will most likely get frustrated and lash out .
Rooney isnt a player who can create space for himself in a match ,he doesnt have the pace or trickery to do that.

His first touch is top quality. I'm amazed that such a big football fan can be so clueless.
As I said his goalscoring only properly came good last season so his career record wouldn't be that special yet. 34 goals a season not enough for you?
Rooney is very good at finding space for himself. His dribbling isn't great as you say and he lacks pace but his close control and his movement mean that he gets all the space he needs to score and assist.
Rooney's firey temper is a problem but it still doesn't stop him being a great centre forward.

I cant agree with that ,Utd have become very negative in away CL matches,Valencia this season ,Bayern last season (bar the opening 15 mins) ,they resemble Liverpool under Benitez in away matches.

United have been way less negative than they used to be when Ronaldo was around. The problem is the lack of quality in cm to implement the new plan. There were many boring, both teams being half arsed, early round CL games like the one against Valencia back in the days of United playing attacking football in the CL. It's what happens in the important games that matters. In the Bayern game after the first spell we were played off the park and went a man down.

On the flip side there are alot of Utd fanboys on here and EPL lovers on here who cant see a footballing world past Dover .
They base their opinions of foreign teams and players most likely on a few Champions league viewings per season.
There is a football world outside the circus that the Sun,Sky Sports News and the British and Irish media peddle every day.

Rooney is overated but perhaps then again so are 90% of footballers .
Anyway enough talk ,I must watch some ball.

Just because there are some idiots who overrate the PL doesn't mean that the idiots who underrate it are any less idiotic.
