Re: Rooney
I don't know why some people suddenly start insisting that Rooney is a midfielder. He is never a proper midfielder. He is a striker or a second striker/AMF. I don’t think he is a classic #10 either.
Can he be an adequate central midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker with a reasonable level of defensive skills? The purple nose may have tried to convert him to play a bit deeper and at times worked in the PL matches last season. But, I don’t think he can play effectively in the CL and EL if he plays in the position other than a striker or a second striker. I just wonder which decent club would pay an obscene amount of transfer fees for Rooney as a midfielder, not even stupid Madrid, I reckon.
alky313 said:I can see this being his last year at United. Its just not pertinent to have two of the highest paid strikers in world football on your books. Especially with a club like United who rely so heavily on facial brand recognition. They've always only had room for one "star" and I just can't see Rooney stepping aside for the more superior RVP.
I do believe that Rooney could do an excellent job at Real Madrid, Barcelona or even the Milan clubs. I rate him quite highly compared to those who wear there blue tinted specs.
He is a complete midfielder and a very good striker. His issue has and always will be his mouth. Despite understanding fuck all of what he says he just can't seem to shut up. At very few other places than Manchester United would his actions slip through the press.
If Manchester United are looking to the future then they will offload him at the first bid of 30m.
