The binman chronicles
Player Valuation: £80m
One thing i will say.
All this midfield talk. Nobody mentioned this about Shearer when his pace went. What if a club signed him, and adapted his game so all he had to do was stay up front and score? The lad is a good a finisher as anyone, as was shearer. Rather than change the player he is, why don't they adapt their style to suit rooney lack of pace and have a striker who is capable of sticking it in the top corner off half shots, just like shearer was in his 30s?
I think this is why he is playing so poorly, he is goalscorer, he has to be in and around the area. He needs the energy you get from scoring to boost his confidence back up and then he won't be making the mistakes with the 5 yard passes.
