How stupid are Manu?

It's not really in Van Gaal's power to get rid of Rooney.

He has a five year contract at a gazillion quid a week.

Wayne will decide if he wants to stay there or look for a move.

And he'll still be at OT long after Van Gaal has gone.

Agree Van Gaal is powerless. Giving Rooney a new deal was crazy....300k a week? They will never get rid of him. What is noticeable nowadays is how much he can't keep up to speed with the play. United were slow in attack last season (and this) and he is a huge reason why. When he went off for England last night the attack quickened instantly and became far more of a threat. Hes still a tidy player but doesn't have the legs to cope with a fast paced game.

He was an awful tackler. But the most technically gifted midfielder we've had in decades.

Xavi, Zidane, fat Ronaldo etc have all said they'd love to have played with him. He was a genius.

In some ways, he was a victim of the cult of the celebrity footballer which sometimes rewarded celebrity over talent.

That's the thing with 'Wazza' - he sells shirts. I can't stand him, personally - but he does score important goals.

And it's not because he's a Scouser - I am not that childish. He just gets under my skin, as do any English players that our media fawn over; Terry, Lampard & Gerrard included.

There have been 3 English players that have 'wowed' me in the last 20 years - Gazza and Scholes and Hibbert.

That's better.

good post, completely agree with all of this.

Comparisons with Ballack in style are far closer to the mark, a huge way to go to reach that level though, but the basics of what he does well are the same that Ballack did compared to say Zidane who imo he doesn't resemble at all

fair enough. I see the potential to be both in my mind. A mixture of the two at present in that he has the drive of Ballack and the desire to beat players with tekkers like Zidane. He'll be good enough to be his own player I reckon.

You just hate United, let's face it. I don't agree with a word you've said and you come across as a bit of a bellend if I'm being honest.

This wont end well!

I was trying to start a war between you and the RAWK chap, it hinged on you only looking at the Avatar and not the username. But now I realise that the alert when I quoted your post would have said my name, a massive fail.

I didn't look at no alert. I'm mildly disappointed that it wasn't Mr Meltdown, the sexual overtones of my post were wasted on you. I was trying to get with the lad with 40000 twitter followers, not some hairy ginger bothering melt .

Van Gaal is a bit of a lump, that head must be at least 8 stone, can't see to many lasting long under him.

Wow....

It really is amazing. That thread about the avatars is very true. Ha ha just seen this now and saw mikey, read the comments and was confused; not something he would say. ' is mikey pissed '?? Initial thought.

Saw the real culprit.... makes perfect sense. Carry on

I like Barkley his flip-flop game is on point,

But, Ballack/Zidane hybrid?

Bit early to make these sort of claims.

Yes, but fans always big up their own players, especially ones that look that extra bit special. We're all guilty of doing it.
