Stevo985 Posted October 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yes. 2004. Again, I'm not saying that means he'll ever be good at a tournament again. But in 2004 he was excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 He's only had two tournaments when he's actually been fit. Arguably one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 We only took 4 strikers to the last tournement. Despite one of them being Heskey and Rooney being awful (and Defoe being the other!), Crouch only managed to get 15 minutes of playing time. So I'm pretty sure that we can manage to take Rooney + 3. Especially now as we don't play with 2 actual strikers very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 the last Rooney thread I could find but it looks like he is finished at United now. dropped for Real Madrid then replaced last night when chasing a goal. Where has it gone wrong? Where will he end up as its been proven a few times if your forced out of United the only way is down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He started his pro-career at what 16? he has had 10 years in the pro game as a regular already, lot's of miles on the clock. If he can't adapt by for instance becoming a central midfield player I'd say he'll be just about finished at the top level by the age of 30.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You get the impression he'd be happy to pack it in and become a pub landlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He'll become a journeyman as there are enough stupidly rich club owners willing to pay big money for a famous player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 thats the link but watching PSG vs Barcelona they looked accomplished team. Cant see him and Zlatan getting along. though zlatan doesnt really get along with anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Yep, first stop. Then out to the middle east, then the U.S.I think he'd (or the wife) draw the line at Russia. Edited April 18, 2013 by Tamuff_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Still talking about a player a dozen league goals this season, without having started all games. Bit too early to start writing him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2013 He's a less skillful Carlos Tevez. Fergie should've kept scarface and sold Rooney to City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think he might actually go this time. Coleen's sister was keeping her (and therefore him) in the north west because of her illness. Sadly she passed away a couple of months ago, I dare say Rooney's home life has been very much disrupted of late because of that so maybe a year or two away from the area is what they need right about now?

Qwpzxjor1 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree with Rev - but also just noticed that the votes on his inclusion in the squad are at exactly 50% (41 votes apiece). Think that shows the extend to the mixed feelings towards Rooney's worth to a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) He's a less skillful Carlos Tevez. Fergie should've kept scarface and sold Rooney to City. I agree. I think Tevez is a more complete footballer. Edited April 18, 2013 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Still has bags of ability but doesn't perform as well as he should on a consistent basis... Think fergie and him may also have had words and we all know that means the end at utd... Can see him at psg and then the states.. Psg may benefit him, fresh start and all that.. He doesn't have to worry about being on the bench as England will still select him based on reputation alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I still reckon a deal was done last year, I think I said so at the time. about the time he was stalling over a new contract. I think it was along the lines of. OK Wayne, you want a move. Rather than go on a free, we'll give you £10m for a year and sell you for £20m next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 the thing with PSG is a. he will have to learn a new language and b. the tax system there is madness The tax system isn't an issue really, he can just keep his money in a secret Swiss bank account to avoid paying any like the French chancellor of the exchequer does.
