Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[Groucho]

He wants first team football, I'd prefer our players who are on the up, not a last chance saloon for Rooney to get to 2018 WC. The thought of Lookman or Barkleys progression being stunted by Rooney ain't for me

This was my thought.

NO.

Humiliating really?????
Look at what a 35 year old Zlatan is doing, he is making Utd into winners again, why? because he is a winner himself!! Just like Rooney is a winner and who is 3 years younger!!

I think zlatan is a better player but i agree. Look at what barry was able to do for 2-3 seasons whrn he got here

He wanted the United scoring record. It's more important to him than little old Everton.

Boss fan though. Top blue.

He spent 13 years in that club. Really bad from him to want a scoring record in a club where he spent majority of his career and won everything he could! And we won exactly nothing during that timeline and we would likely win nothing as well even if Rooney would stay here, we may even relegate without selling him... I have exactly zero problem that he likely sees EFC as 1A and MU as 1B after all that time he spent in that club. It is absolutely understandable. Oh and how many players of other clubs came here to watch a game? How many players would decline world record salary in China to play for EFC?

 

[Groucho]

NO.

I do see the attraction of an in-form Rooney coming on in the second half to play behind Lukaku but how often would that happen? I'll support him if he comes but I'm not eager for it.

I get the appeal, I really do, but I'm not sure I'd buy him if I was in charge. Which I'm not.

If he comes fine, if he doesn't equally fine.

Take the blue-tinted specs off for a bit. If he wasn't a blue would you be interested? He barely gets a game for the team 1 place above us in the league and he's only gonna get worse.

That's fair, I also thought the same but he's come here and continued to succeed in this league. Whereas Rooney has got worse and worse, Even LVG was shoehorning him into a holding midfield role.

I don't see Rooney getting worse and worse mate. I still see a very very good player

 

[Prevenger17]

I honestly don't. Rooney is the past, the distant, distant past. He is nowhere near the player he was and I can't see what he would add to a team that is just beginning to take shape. I despair at this.

And Morgan Scheiderlin couldn't even make the squad half the time in a team 1 place above us!!!

Zlatan doesn't smoke twenty a day and bang grannies.

When Rooney is 35, I'd be very surprised if he could run for the bus .

I heard Zlatan broke all sorts of records during his medical with united in the summer.
Proper fit lad, and having watched him play so many games, i can well believe it.

Beat me too it.
Agree with you on Rooney his experience and influence alone would help the squad and our profile would explode.

Exactly!!!

 

[Mickey]

Looks like the club as easing us into the idea of him coming back. I'd take him tbh, still got a season or two left.

Jesus this is his thirteenth season at United. Where does the time go?.
