Makes me wish he was more like John Terry!

MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The problem is there are a few of us that pointed out that Rooney kinda stagnated since 3 years ago. He was brilliant, all pace, dribbling and all. Then he start to get fat, and retained his goalscoring due to brilliant services from Valencia now, and riding on the spaces created by Ronaldo back then. He's a very good player, and to be honest, i thought he would be more of a player today, when seeing him 3 years ago. It's no loss for the club. Our only concern now is whether we get the best value for him, and get to spend it on replacements.
God
Oh dear god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
feck Torres, he is not good enough for Manchester United!!!
Nope he was never born in Liverpool hence has manners.
And Vidic and Evra against them ...
I wish I could say this with more confidence.
Oooo They'll be sooo scared!!!
You're an idiot.
He's odds on to move, that much is fact, as is evident by the odds at the bookies.
If you read the whole sentence you would have read the disclaimer: IF he gets his mind straight, then he is odds on to stay. You can only find that laughable if you didn't read the disclaimer and are fecking stupid. Hell, IF he gets his mind straight then there is virtually no chance he'll leave.
You're the worst poster on the forum, you've amassed a bizzilion posts in no time and they've all been shit. Kindly shut up and feck off.
When I came home to the confirmation of what has been circling around the press the last days my reaction was not what I would expect from myself really. First of all, I wasn't really surprised, I guess I was mentally getting accustomed to the thought for a few days already. Secondly I wasn't as sad or disappointed as a lot of others seem to be. We have seen already this season what a Unitedless Rooney looks like and it doesn't frighten me at all. Going forward we've been brilliant and I doubt Rooney's presence would have locked up the defense these first 8 games.
As for Rooney... Well, he can feck off. Simple as that. I won't miss him for a second. He's looking like a self-important greedy wanker and for me he's burnt all the bridges there is. I hope he doesn't even get to train with the first team again. We'll move on and I for one can't wait to see if any of the younger players manage to step it up a few notches this season. Hernandez and Macheda will get more opportunities and even Michael Owen might be more needed than anyone thought just a couple of days ago. I guess we're the fools for elevating Rooney the man to something he's never been, loyal trustworthy and dedicated. I hope his career fall to pieces.

We haven't produced a great player in a long while. We have bought well over the last few years but whre do we go from here?
Oh yeah thats probably it, he said he wasnt expecting it and how he was going to sleep but now he cant. I just assumed that meant he was in shock
Undetected sarcasm?
Are you serious, he's been arguable to best striker in England for the past 2 years, he just needs a proper club!
No sarcasm, Torres is just not good enough, plus he's injury prone.
He and John Terry can be England's Big Man™ and Little Man™.
Is this really what football has come to?
Wayne Rooney cheating on his club because he's not man enough to face up to cheating on his wife?
Thank God life goes on as normal elsewhere, and we still can rely on old favourites, like Rafa Benitez, who today is babbling about John the milkman in the wirral and his white liquid.
What do you expect from a classless twat? This is what happens when you become to rich, to young.
He hasn't burnt his bridges with Ferguson or the Club, because Ferguson still wants him to stay and the offer is still on the table. That's good enough for me.
And yes it's been going on for over two months, because both his off the field problems and on the field problems have been going on for a long time. If he gets his life sorted, and sorts himself out on the pitch, then I think he'll willingly sign a contract. But nah feck that, let's throw personal abuse at a guy who is mentally going through a tough time.
After all that's happened it's really hard to see him stay even IF he gets his mind straight. Fergie might have left the door open for him but it's extremely hard to see him stay after all that's happened today.
Well if you believe what the scousers were saying after the Everton game then Torres is to them what Rooney is to us; a player who is playing like he wants out....so make an offer. Does anyone think he wants to be in a relegation fight? Liverpool probably need to build more than we do and a sale may not be out of the question
So was it Wes or Owen?
Are you serious, he's been arguable to best striker in England for the past 2 years, he just needs a proper club!
He barely played last season due to injury, and this season he's been fecking shite.
Great player when he's fit, but there's no getting away from the fact that he's a crock.
He certainly is injury prone. He is also more than good enough.
Are you serious, he's been arguable to best striker in England for the past 2 years, he just needs a proper club!
He came to England arguably the best striker in the world, he clearly has not lived up to that tag.
Indeed. I hope you of all people learn from this; don't let the success go to your head!
With such awful decision making in his life away from football, I guess it was sort of inevitable he was going to do something stupid during his career. This is it.
He won't play for us again
The only option is to spend money. Value or no Value... whether we will do it is another question. The youth look good but not amazing i'm afraid and the players are out their we just have to be brave and bit the bullet. Push the boat for the next Pato (Neymar) sign a big name (Sneijder) and hope they jell. We can't sit back and watch biggest assests go.
Are you serious, he's been arguable to best striker in England for the past 2 years, he just needs a proper club!
Well that's absolute bullshit. Last time Torres was brilliant was 2 years ago.
He's married with children, when he should be having fun with me*
*if I were a 50 year old woman.
Wtf are you on about. IF he gets his mind straight then this is the club for him, the club he wanted to spend the rest of his career with before his recent troubles. If he gets his mind straight there is no other logical choice for him. If he chooses to move then his mind is not right, of course it's not right, it'd be a really shit decision.
Fair enough but he's going to face a lot of abuse from his own fans and even though Fergie's left the door open for him he's been painted as the villain here.
It's hard to see him stay tbh. We've offered him whatever we possibly could and he yet does not want to stay. I understand he's going through a tough time but all this stuff bout his personal life came out after 14th August when he had already made up his mind to go.

That is nothing to be proud of, really is it???
So who caused the injury, Owen or Wes?
No one knew about it.The club managed to keep it quiet for nearly 2 months.
Good, that is if he plays without the same passion as we are used to.
Depends if he can be professional or not to be honest, if he can't then I'd much rather give Macheda/Hernandez a shot.
So who caused the injury, Owen or Wes?
SAF stuck the boot in, before heading to the press conference to do it again.
He asked to leave BEFORE his recent troubles were announced.
Go check his record mate. Read the Torres transfer forums of the past too. He was far from the best striker in the world before arrive. Yes he's injury prone but still bangs 20 a season. Judging him now is like judging Rooney. form temperary etc etc....
Ok I'm assuming by recent troubles you meant his hooker issues?
Because he told Fergie that he's "adamant about leavin" back on the 14th of August so he had clearly made his mind up before all this shit in his life came up.
those were big games, but to be fair i would argue that they weren't our biggest.
Milan away, they were a piss poor side. Arsneal had a piss poor defense, as did city at that time.
Chelsea-home and away is bigger, he did nothing noteworthy that i can remember.
Liverpool.. has he ever scored against them ?
Munich games he was poor, granted second game he had injury.
So who caused the injury, Owen or Wes?
Wes, no doubt.

Arms crossed, smug grin, job well done.
