I'm not saying you're all overreacting, there's just as many United fans getting their knickers in a twist about nothing as well. It's more embarrassing on our side, the lack of loyalty and trust shown from our fans. Happened with Vidic just last year too, people have never gotten over Ronaldo(and Tevez) 'betraying' us.
I can't believe anyone seriously believes there's a better player than Rooney in your team, though. It'd be ridiculous how quickly opinions on here would change if he did move! Cringeworthingly so.
Yeah it's the poll thread, although it's now shifted just in favour of the nay-sayers.
Carlos has performed better for us over the past calendar year than Rooney has for United, he's absolutely carried us lately in some ways to be honest.
Rooney coming, a very similar player, and one who would suddenly change Tevez's ''position'' at the club rather than just in the team, could upset all that.
I think that's what the nay-sayers are getting at when they say they don't want Rooney for footballing reasons, it's not just a case of his comparative ability to what we've already got.
Personally I don't feel there's much in it between Tevez and Rooney ability-wise and I feel that if Carlitos was English, that would be the overriding mood throughout the country too. But that's just me.
