Couple of mates who are united fans had serious reservations about what Rooney could still offer us. They were not being disrespectful to Rooney and have admired what he did for them. They just said to me, although he has all the motivation in the world to do well for us, they doubted whether he could physically still do it. They have been proven right.
Don't think we should have touched him but if i was going to play him it would be off Niasse. I think he could do a job there. Play him for the first hour and then bring him off. You'd have to say though that if we hadn't of signed him, Siggurdson or Klaasen we would be £80 million better off and better off on the pitch.
Yep play him off Niasse. One thing i did notice today at the end of the game, Rooney, Basic and Beni all came back onto the pitch and congratulated the rest of the players. No sign of Siggurdson or Williams or Robles.
Don't mind Robles as back up but wouldn't be losing any sleep if we didn't see anything of Williams or Sigurddson.
I feel for him a bit because even though i didn't want us to sign him you can see he really cares and is putting a shift in. Like you say we need everyone working hard and pulling together. I think Unsworth is clearly getting something out of the players spirit wise that Koeman wasn't. I'm sure that as the games are going on its becoming pretty clear to Unsworth who he can rely on to fight for the team. Rooney is one of those. His legs may have gone but his spirit is still there and i think that's the reason Unsworth is playing him. I'd be playing him off Niasse for an hour then bringing a sub on. Wouldn't have Siggurdson in the team to be honest.
I haven't given up on him I've just never rated Siggurdson.
Siggurdson is a world class player , his performances for Swansea last season displayed his abilities. I'm amazed how a certain section of people are determined to write him off . He has just moved to a train wreck of a club and is definately struggling but his talent is widely acknowledged. He is the star player of a far better team than England( admittedly that ain't saying much). Given time he will be an important player to us , of this I'm certain.
