2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[Saint Domingo]

Andy Carrol and Diniyar Bilyaletdinovwere apparently Liverpoolsnd Everton’s fastest players one season. Meant nothing though as both had such slow acceleration they were top of the ‘slowest’ players on the pitch where it’s all about the zip over 5 or ten yards. So no I am t really need some top speed stats from Rooney in 20-3 to know that he is too slow to play in midfield for us in 2018.

Rooney is faster than you think, it depends on the system used by the manager.

Fair enough.

I'm only judging his pace on having watched him run round the pitch playing for us this season with my own eyes.

Absolutely sweating like Kenwright at an AGM after about 5 mins is Wayne.
Booze and fags catch up with you at his age dead quick.

Alot of good players can look slow depending on the system used by the manager.

Look how much slower Sanchez looks under Mourinho since leaving Everton.

Its all down to the manager.

Players like Silva, Otamendi etc are much slower than Rooney but you wouldn't know it dude to the the way city play with high intensity and pressing to win the ball back immediately.

Wonder if the Geordies would have him?

Where's the Sanchez money Bill ?

 

[Rooney4Ever]

God I wish sanchez played for us.

He's had 2 goals for united... he's had a much worse season playing for much stronger teams in a forward position

 

[Abraders]

Has he gone yet

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Has he gone yet

Just making his way through the breakfast buffet at the Ponderosa chain restaurant. He may be some time due to their 101-item buffet special.

Even today the best position for him is behind the striker not deep lying midfielder. He is not Scholes.
His running and timing in to the box is second to none

Every time I see this thread bumped I hope it's confirmation he's left and continue to be disappointed

 

[Alatar]

What about games like Bournemouth and Watford at home when we were getting beat and looking dreadful until we subbed him and went on to win?

We can choose to believe whether the come back in those games were more because of the subbing of Rooney or the brilliance of Prince Oumar. The other one that I also remember was the three goals conceded to United after Rooney was subbed with ten minutes to go.

First class

 

[phil_t98]

if he stays I would play him along side Tosun and let Tosun do the running ,where as Rooney still have the footballing intelligence to know where to be at the right time. Sigs behind them. proper 4-4-2

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Enough said really

These speeds were recorded whilst he was running to the ref to have a moan.
