Re: Rooney

The horrible bastard was trying to get Kompany sent off at our place when we won 1 nil last season. Vinny had him in his pocket and had the last laugh.


HORRIBLE FAT BASTARD!

Agree.

I would be absolutely gutted if he joined out club.

Re: Rooney

Who's the bigger twat tevez or Rooney?

rooney is the twat tevez was very badly advised not the highest form of intelegence so he's excused

Was KIA sat next to him on the bench telling him not to come on?

miss interpretation in english i honestly dont think tevez refused to play warm up yes then the shit hit the fan when he took advice from kia who told him to go awol, as i said limited intelegence anyway week by week he's slowly repaying the club back

Re: Rooney

Like Norman Whiteside, he had a heavy man's physique at 17. Like Whiteside, he was not a natural athlete, enjoys a drink and a smoke, puts weight on quickly and will not have a long career. He will be ready for the nacker's yard at 30.

I agree anyone paying more than 25m for the lump of LARD are mad

Play and warm up are in effect the same thing, he refused the managers orders. there are plenty of times when managers send players out to warm up to try trick other managers into making substitutions.

Re: Rooney

We can move on before I prove you know very little about football... or how positions on a chart are far different from tracking a player in an actual game. Carry on in your deluded world of 4-4-2's and Football Manager. Should I make a meme for that?

I'm happy to debate if you like mate :) so........... let's get this 100% straight before we embark on an exchange of views -

1. Are you actually saying that Rooney is a midfielder?

if so, could you explain what your understanding of a midfield player is?

2. Are you actually saying he is also a complete midfielder?

if so, could you explain what you mean by 'complete' and for clarifity and context could you name some other players who you consider to be 'complete' midfielders?

By midfielder... I mean a player who can play further in front of the holding midfielder... Such is the nature of United's mixed bag of player personnel. Rooney is often required to distribute the ball. He is most often required to maintain the formation of their wingers as well as maintain shape of the fullbacks. He can be found a considerable amount of times behind Carrick/Anderson/Cleverley playing deep passes and crosses to open up space. He often puts in an incredible amount of work defensively. I do believe that Yaya Toure is a complete midfielder, I would also be hard-pressed to say he is a great tackler. In the same way that Yaya Toure isn't a great tackler.

United have oft played with a striker that leads the line and an old-fashioned number 10 that is given lee-way to drop deep or push incredibly high if given the opportunity, especially to flood the box for crosses.

Wayne Rooney is a not a lead the line striker. He's even less of a withdrawn striker than Tevez is. He is now, and has been for the last 2 years, an attacking midfielder. A true number 10 who operated up and down the center of the park. This is a midfielder to me... Regardless of what the team sheet might read.

By midfielder... I mean a player who can play further in front of the holding midfielder

Would've been easier to say that in your original post.

He is most often required to maintain the formation of their wingers as well as maintain shape of the fullbacks

One man 'maintains the formation of their wingers and their fullbacks'?

You sure?

I would also be hard-pressed to say he is a great tackler

'Complete' loosely means 'having all parts and lacking nothing'. He's a bobbins tackler as evidenced just this weekend. Therefore not 'complete' in any sensible way.<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 28, 2012 12:52 pm --<br /><br />

He isn't a midfielder and therefore cannot possibly be 'a complete midfielder'. Lets move on before it gets silly.

Don't worry about the Stoned Rose alky313 , if you bother to read our exchange on the Chelski v Royals thread you will soon see that it doesn't take long for Stony to spiral into the world of the gif and jpeg.

I asked him two basic questions and within a minute of him reading my post he tried the old you know nothing about football line , got personal again and giffed and poorly spellchecked his way into everything bar addressing the question.

The reason he does this is because he is not capable of supporting his gross generalisations with any factual evidence whatsoever.

Your thoughts on Rooney are very close to the mark.

Rooney is more than capable of holding down a position behind the strikers or main striker in a top team and can easily fill that role at Manure with great effect or out wide , he can even play "wingback" if required to.

Like most strikers he loves scoring goals but I doubt very much the arrival of Van Persie will have nearly as much negative impact at what the press and scribes think it will.

He wanted to leave largely because he felt the owners were not doing their upmost to match his ambitions for the club and he knew the noisy neighbours were more than noisy and low and behold he was proved correct.

He may be a simpleton off the field but he has a brain born for the game and is one player I would love to have at our club realising of course it will never happen , well not while fergie is alive anyway.

You two sound very similar ;)

This.

I can think of only a handful of players who could be called top class for more than 7-8 years. He's already gone past his peak

There's more chance of me signing a £1 billion a year contract with The Moon XI FC than of us signing this ****, that is all.
