Just a quick question. What is Rooney's weakness?
You can't really argue with that. It's not like he's a one season wonder either. He's only going to get better. Stop being a hater.
Hows Keane getting on btw.

Yeah and he was wank. All the Scottish press were going on about how world class he is before the game.

It's Hamzah, don't even bother.
He's on fire, curious where it will end this season.

yeah.
he's only been the recognised heartbeat of the united attack for the past 4 years and is now also their main goal-threat, banging in 23 goals by february in a united still transitioning into their post-CR setup.
what a lemon.

you're either 14 or never played football before. the way barcelona plays wingers they are pretty much all strikers, in and out of position. So I guess "striker" means that you have to sit infront of the net the entire game hmm? Nah, get a clue. Villa is all over the field and attacks from the wings consistently every single game. He has the experience and skill to easily play as a "left winger", meaning he merely starts at the left but can easily flow and rotate with Ibra AND Messi. Quite funny how b/c wikipedia tells you this is said guys position, you automatically neglect the idea of him being able to do anything else. Good job.
Edit: Henry was 31 years old last season and a "center" striker his entire career until he moved to Barcelona. Yet he scored 20 goals last season. What makes you think Villa or Rooney couldn't do the same? Who do you actually want as a LW replacement? Ribery etc? He isn't exactly known for his goal-scoring prowess, neither is Silva or a few other natural winger targets.

Hey don't call our Wayne Shrek! It's a bit racist even! I've popped into this site after watching Barca clips on Youtube, blown away by Barca talent on the one hand and also to see how Thierry Henry is getting on (we miss him!) For one you'd be crazy to underestimate Thierry and secondly you will see a dynamic match maker in Rooney come the World Cup AND you can't have Fabregas back for a long time so be content with the geniuses you have!

what a condescending @$$hole you are, thanks for explaining to me about footy and how Barça play i had no idea. so you want to spend 50 mill on a player that has played his whole career playing striker (and is one of the best in the world at it) then stick him out wide? playing wide for Barça is not the same thing as playing up front with another guy close to you (like Villa spain and valencia) not every player can score from such a wide position like Messi or even adapt... and using Henry as an example was really not a good one bc he has been pretty awful for Barça for most of his time here TBH. So what i meant by my post you little prick, is that buying Villa and putting him on the wing is a waste of money and talent, if we did not have Ibra (who villa is a much better fit for Barça hence us trying to sign him first) it would be money well spent but we do not need a superstar striker bc we bought the big swede, and i think Pedro is perfectly fine for our wing and if we really HAVE to buy someone let it be David Silva someone who has spent loads of time on the wing and also can play midfield.. next time watch how you approach someone
you can call me mean or whatver you want, but in response to both my post you have been quite a smug prick i was only sharing my opinion of something so next time check what you say b4 you answer from your ivory tower

a villa ibra messi front line may work on your fifa (much like people who want a xavi iniesta cesc midfield) but its not very realistic tbh
