@Montelik, Mata looks good because of the calibre of midfield and forward players around him. Off the midst of hazard, Oscar, Moses, Ramires, he won't do near as much.


All these guys are players who are strong in ball retention, plus Lampard and Torres.

United doesn't have these kind of guys who are strong on the ball. Only Nani has. Such ability and he too didn't play much last season to complement Rooney. Giggs has it but he's old. Welbeck is coming up.

Robin van Persie insists everyone at the club wants Wayne Rooney to stay this summer.

‪#‎RVP‬ believes ‪#‎Rooney‬ "will come good again" and revealed one of his reasons for leaving Arsenal in August 2012 was to play alongside the England international.

"Everyone wants Wayne to stay and deep down I think he feels the same, one of the reasons I joined Manchester United was to play with Wayne.

"I hope he stays. Not only is he a great goalscorer, he does so much work across the pitch. He hates to lose and that's why you see him one minute pressing for goal, the next minute defending ferociously. He is an asset to any team.

"He will come good again. He is a strong lad." (Source: goal.com)

.......................

Even RVP.

I still wonder those who want Rooney out if they are any Manchester United fans. A player who has helped us so much in 9 years domestically and in Europe. Only Messi and Ronaldo have proven more dangerous when the going gets tough in the Champions League.

The worst is the funny replacement people are suggesting. I beg.

The match is 2pm.

Rooney, Young and Nani will not travel. - Report.

coogar: statistics don't have to win titles for you to be a better player. gareth bale has never won a league title and he's been named twice as the PFA player of the season and he's worth thrice as much as rooney today in the transfer market!

RVP outgunned rooney despite playing for an inferior team in 4 of the last 5 seasons. it brings us to the conclusion that rooney is overpaid, overrated, overhyped piece of fecal matter. i hope he breaks his metatarsal again in the coming international week.

And Rooney is valued more than RVP financially. How can you use a sitting hyena to compare a hunting lion- king of the jungle?

Arsenal was not weak, it was RVP style of play, seeking individual glory instead of team success that killed Arsenal. Arsenal had Fabregas, Toure, Clinchi, Song, Sagna, Walcot, Adebayo, Arshanvi (is that the spelling?), Nasri and many more talented players. But they lacked one thing- A chief cordinator, a selfless attacking builder, a master key like Wayne Rooney.

Rooney, Iniester and Robben have the same game, you don't use goals and statistics to rate such players. Gareth Bale has a close style to them.

texaco1: Don't forget mad cobra with their hit track"legacy"

Yes, even Shabaranks with lover man.

coogar: numbers don't lie....

rooney outgunned by the dutch wizard....

Why last 5 seasons? I thought there could be last 6 or 7 or 9 seasons?

afrodoc: what is the difference? how do u know the results wouldn't have been this poor? is rooney now God that he cant play poorly or play in a struggling team?
and I repeat whats d difference? is rooney now more crucial to the team than cantona was when he retired? or than Cristiano Ronaldo was when he was sold? in 95 ferguson expelled hughes,kanchelskis and paul ince and people were shouting but good if not better replacements came in. rooney isn't the greatest player to have played for United and if he leaves he wont be the greatest player to have left! my issue is DONT SELL HIM TO CHELSEA

You will see the difference when he starts to play, even among Januzaz, Zaha, Lingaard. He has been doing it for ages producing results among different set of players whether old or young, experienced or novice. The difference is he is a coordinator, a great team player, an attacking creator, a builder and a multi positional player. He can be forceful, he can run with the ball, he can slow the game, he can easily change direction of a game and he can dictate the pace of a game. He can head, he can shoot and he can be cunning and intelligent. He is strong on the ball, a genius and his type are rare. He is versatile and he brings maturity.

dopeJemi: abeg he is stilL with us... As long as we havnt accepted any bid 4rm cheLsea, he is stilL with us

If he is with us, then there is not too much to worry. He will shape things up. He will always start for sure once injury free.

afrodoc: I was a fan when bryan robson left club no decline, eric the king left club no decline, beckham left, keane left,van nistelrooy left still club no decline.......rooney can leave club no go decline! d only person we going to miss is sir alex. when it comes to strategy he is one of the best

There is a difference I beg. Had Rooney played in the preseason, the results wouldn't have been this poor. Instead of wins 2 draws 2 lost 3, we should at worst be having wins- 4 draws- 2 lost- 1.

dopeJemi: buh oga coogar no include carrick... Wait! Why r u guys not mentioning Rooney in d strongest XI

Because we don't know if he is still with us.

dademola: choi!! because i say make we use rooney trade for modric, u don hate modric be dt too oo. Dis is serious.....

I beg Rooney should stay jor. All these players you people have been suggesting since May will lead the team into a massive decline when compared to Rooney's impact on the team.

Infact I am angry right now. How did we get here?

dopeJemi: coogar wey carrick

Carrick's impact alone is stronger than Ando and Cleverly put together. We saw it in the preseason games in Asia and yesterday.

It is very funny how some people shift goal post every time just to argue. I thought same people argue strikers are not meant to defend?

Orishirishi.

afrodoc: na good market.better deal wey u no fit get for even Asda we would be off loading Rooney with his gargantuan salary to Madrid not a local rival and we will be getting someone who can improve our midfield in terms of possession and continuity of play

I wish you goodluck.

dademola: modric overhyped Bwahahahaha!! !! Lolz!! I'd personally choose modric over fabregas everyday of d week!! Despite d fact dt he wasnt a mou's favorite, and is still having difficulty settling down, d guy is a great playa abeg!! I tell ma madrid friends dt a modric/alonso partnership wlda yeilded more results dan d khedira/alonso thingy!! E be like say u no watch d guy when e still dey spurs!!! U say we nid a DMF?? Like who, pls??

It is not every player who is capable of repeating same form in two clubs/leagues. Learn to accept that.

Remember: Crespo, Shevchenko, Torres, etc. And watching Kagawa.

Salute to CR7.

dademola: baba, if na by dt one, RVP suppose siddon for lingard dis season niyen!!

I am an advocate of playing young defenders. Look at Cahil, Ivanovic, Luis, and a certain young chap in Madrid who sent Pepper and that old Portugues to the bench.

Give Jones and Smalling the experience, it will be good by to Ferdinand. Jones and Smalling recovery and chasing speed so much appeal to me.

dademola: so spurs no dey dia right senses abi?? Aside dt, is modric a regular starter for madrid??

Abeg, Modric is over hyped. what did he do for Madric last season?

dademola: baba, considering hw good modric is, hw badly we need to fortify dt midfield, and hw badly we nid to avoid selling rooney to chelsea.. Tsnt a bad deal jare

I don't see Modric in the same light as you guys. Or am I alone on this? Moreover I think we need a defensive midfielder more than an attacking midfielder.

They were all very talented. But Raskimo was the lion of the jungle, he claimed far more awards after awards. Then we had Oritz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Madators, Alex Zito,Felix Liberty, Edna Ogholi, Alex Zito, Oliver De Coke, Onyeka Owenu, Shina Peters etc. In South Africa, Shakaskaka and Lucky Dube were rocky too. Then suddenly Blacky came with Rossie. Daniel Wilson too.

Even as Chakademus and Pliers, Shabaranks, Maxi Priests, Boz II men, Whitney, Michael Bolton, Phil Collins, Telvin Campbel, Bryiam Admas, Toni Braxton and a doxen others were blasting away internationally. And the ever relevant Michael Jackson was chipping in some occasionally. It was very interesting in the late 80s and early 90s.

adorable29: Wait O! What is d indecency pple keep shouting about on bba! I av watched it several times nd d amount of indecency I v seen all ds time is no different from watchin jus one snoop dog's musical video. Like seriously I don't get it! Maybe am missin all d so called porn parts wen I watch it sha!

Most people who write about BBA don't even watch it. They are so ignorant about the show.

Watching musical videos, even local musical video is worse than watching BBA.

Baddestguyp: i disagree with u. I believe bba is bout a bunch of pervests n hoes coming together to fuk n the best p0rn star wins

So why has Delish, Melvin, Sulu, Maria, and many others not slept with another housemate in the house? You obviously don't know anything about BBA.

Anyone who sells Rooney less than £35 million should be given 350 koboko for 35 days 3 to 5 times a day.

As far as I am know, Jones was our best centre back in the preseason.

afrodoc: I am telling u! especially if Madrid don't get bale. we just offer them rooney at 25million and take modric at 3o million sef ( I no mind)

Na which kind market be dis na?

afrodoc: Madrid maybe but not barca. there is no space in their attack for him. messi is point man and iniesta will play behind him and neymar will play on his usual left side and on d right u have pedro/sanchez etc . in the barca system rooney's best positions are occupied by better players (messi n iniesta)

Barca are a greedy team. They want to have everybody.

But is Messi a point man?

afrodoc: very true. but rooney na bumbaclot! e no go wan go abroad. anyway space no dey psg attack again, if he demands transfer we fit invite Monaco for bidding

Madrid or Barca will gladly take him.

Without any mojor signing in the midfield, for the overall benefit of the team it will be best to keep Rooney in the midfield to help in stabilizing the build up and holding possession, should he stay. It will enable us also see how this so much forward hype of RVP-Kagawa-Chicha works out. One problem still have to be that speculation has it Rooney doesn't want the midfield role. Also, where does Welbeck comes in? Welbeck was our best forward in the preseason. He offered the greatest threats while Lingaard was the highest scorer.

Ronaldo is playing for Madrid.
Fabregas is playing for Barca.
Rooney is keeping us guessing.

Even me sef I don dey vex. By now we should be putting him in the calculations.
