This is about Rooney and how we can move the team forward. It is not Rooney vs Costa. In my opinion they are both crap right now so what is the point. If we want to compare Rooney it should be with Neymar, Suarez, Benzema, Lewandowski, Aguero, Zlatan not relegation battlers like Diego Costa and Hidden Hidezard

We do not have the time to resurrect careers now. If he is not up to the task he should become a squad player like Scholes,Neville,Giggs e.t.c in their later years.
I agree with you he can fight for the no 10 position with Mata,Herrera and Perreira but he should make the team only on merit not on what he did 10yrs ago. We can not allow what someone did in our past jeopardize our present and our future.

That is why his club is in relegation trouble. Further more he is not captain and highest earner at his club. Also in acknowledgement of his struggles he has been dropped by both club and country at certain times this year.

These your tales sef.
Do you know that the whole team is being held back by Wayne Rooney? Let's not look into the last two years, player sales & surrounding circumstances, I'm looking @ this season.
As it stands, nothing suggests Chicharito would've fared worse than Rooney. Even if Chicharito is a poacher (let's assume cuz we all know his ball skills improved massively) & the team carries him, the opposition knows there's a genuine goal-threat in there somewhere & will be wary. What we get with Rooney is the team carrying him YET he offers nothing to trouble the opposition even when through on goal. As a "ball-playing striker" (refer to coogar's .gif) all he does is miscontrol the ball, run like a donkey, pride himself on 'work rate' & bull - who cares about that from a CF? Seeing Rooney score these days is an exception rather than a norm, & when you factor in the playing time he seizes from better options - it becomes a monumental disgrace!

Chicharito had a very poor showing in his final game before his sale there's no doubt about it, but what if he's already been told he stood no chance no matter how Rooney fares? We all heard LvG say something like that quite raw in public, how much less in private meetings?

Let's not deceive ourselves, Martial was brought in cuz it was glaring we would be closer to Chelshit right now than to top 4 if Rooney continued leading the line. Every single player has been benched or shunted about just to accommodate Rooney, where's the substantial result? Defensive stability will crack if the strikers are not turning defenders' efforts to points!

Two paltry goals (he even had to be pushed in for one) & you think Rooney is worth discussing? Grab a random Man United fan by the balls even from Rooney's county & demand a list of performers this season (MUFC players) - White Pele won't feature in anyone's top 15 except his regular ball lickers

Lwkmd!!
Soon as rooney goes on a wonderful run of assist and goal scoring then you
can say whatever now isn't the time.

AdeLaNa1:
Yes! Yes! You're absolutely right! Lets give Rooney the pleasure of the whole season sef to get back to fitness.

AdeLaNa1:
He is jumping higher and higher. He is running faster. He is shooting more. He is stretching his muscles.

Wat are the basic requirements of a Striker if not to do these things on a regular basis??

Sometimes it feels as if its a 10 yr old that is behind this elàmpiro account

SailorXY:
ogbeni no dey wish us bad abeg end top scorer ko. what did we manage with his top scoring the past two years? *spits*

nyabinghi:

AdeLaNa1:
On going process?? Moyes spent 11 yrs in Everton. No trophy.

He came to United and almost destroyed us. He ran a Championship winning team aground.

And now, he's already been sacked in less than two yrs from Sociedad.


Moyes is 52. At that age, Wenger, SAF, LVG and the greatest managers in the world were already league champions at some point.

17 yrs in his managerial carrer and its only the 2nd league division title he has to show for all those yrs and u think his career is still an onging process??

Wetin dey always worry u sef

StarBoard:
How is the Moyes experiment going? Still have regrets about him being sacked by United?

AdeLaNa1:
iGuess! Besides i dint recall ever watching U17/U21 on DSTV. Its always the local channels dat cover them

dopeJemi:
I feel he didn't, he was poor, all his passes were safe, he didn't do much to me, he played the number 10 role for pete's sake... I expected more from him today against a weaker opposition

dopeJemi:
Rooney is a shame to watch

Leyqute:
It's going to be a slow game, maybe that's why Schneiderln was on the bench. The bench also doesn't have any attacking threat. P.S. Who's in the hole? Martial or Mata? In the previous game, Mata spent some time in the hole with Rooney and Martial changing positions later on.
