Wayne Rooney

[Jenks]

One of the few genuinely talented English footballers although I have read that he is actually Irish.

As far as Irish fans are concerned, any decent English player with an Irish granny is Irish and loves his Irish roots, and only plays for England because of pressure/money etc. It's how they console themselves for poaching foreign players and supporting so many of the Englishmen that represent them at international level. There are 12 in their current squad for example...

Played in the friendly against Villarreal apparently.

Almost scored with a 30 yard drive that just missed the top corner. Shame he didn't play longer but was glad to see he got a good reception.

It was Duncan Ferguson's testimonial.

Not that I'd be against him moving to Everton though as current Rooney is probably about their level (and I've been a huge Rooney fan over the years).

Rooney will have a quality year. No doubt in my mind, united fans need to trust in him.

It's not about not trusting him. It's (sadly) that I think he's on the decline. For a fair chunk of the second half of last season and this preseason, he has really been lacking.

I obviously hope you are right though.

The dumbest thing Moyes did in his time with the club, and that is saying something.

This might just be worse than our dealings with our friends traffic

Normally a club can subsidize a players wages, but the club has committed upwords of £60m on him over the next four seasons. Even if give him away, we'd probably still need to put in at least half of that amount for the buying club and that is just not gonna happen. We're unfortunately stuck with Rooney for the foreseeable future and he is the single biggest reason for our pathetic displays.

He has become Man Utd's, Adebayor.

He hurts me with his fantasy points.Wondering how much fans and coach hurt giving him that much money for that shit.

Stealing a living at the moment...
