Rival watch

I'm surprised we aren't investigated for money laundering if that's the case

 

Memphis Depay .

 

Poor miss from him just then. Good work from Shaw and Rooney, would have been a fantastic goal.

 

Has Rooney peaked as a striker? Ian Wright wasn't impressed with his overall game (on MOTD) and they discussed whether he has peaked and we have seen the best of him.

 

He is definitely not worth his starting place at the moment

 

I think he's always functioned better with support up top; his partnerships with RVN, RVP, Tevez and Berba amongst others were genuinely frightening. He can't run the line as a lone striker.

 

He looks rather average at the moment

 

Would be funny if he was dropped by England being a goal or 2 from Bobby Charlton's record

 

Three games into the season. Rooney was playing in England games in June, then traipsing about on tour. Plus

This has been the problem. Playing for England in June, then traipsing about on a pre-season tour and then having to play the demanding role of a lone striker. Kane's only 22 and needs a rest. Rooney's 30 later this year and has played non stop for 14 years at the top level of club football and as the focal point of the national side. It's not surprising that it should catch up with him eventually. Van Gaal needs to buy a central striker. The sooner he does it the better. Than he has options - one of which is to use Rooney more sparingly for a while until he recovers his sharpness.

 

Pundits are saying Man Utd need a top class striker.

I'm pretty sure they sold one to Fenerbahce for peanuts last month...

 

Yeah hilarious SD. Didn't have you down as someone to take pleasure from others misfortune.

 

Yeah my heart bleeds for the unfortunate soul. And of the 2, I'd rather Charlton was my country's leading scorer. Rooney has been relying on reputation for a while now and doesn't do enough to get in the squad, let alone be the top goalscorer

Didn't see that one coming to be honest. I guess that's the end for Cuadradadadado. Not that he had a beginning.

Class player but I'm not exactly filled with dread after we've seen a string of attacking wingers move from Spain and seriously struggle here in the PL. Navas and Di Maria two rather expensive examples of this.

 

Pedro to Chelsea.

Fabregas must have played a role, aswell as Costa.

 

Beat you to it.

 

......

 

He does plenty to get into the squad: he plays for Man Utd, and his name's Wayne Rooney.

Let's just ignore that neither of those things have anything to do with what he does on the pitch...

 

Chelsea spunk what we would consider a fortune on a player they don't really need just to stop Utd getting him. This game is ridiculous

 

Have you seen Chelsea this season?
They need a few more after Pedro, on current form.

 

I have, i very much enjoyed the City game.

They have the same number of points as us, do we need a massive squad overhaul? Actually, lets not go there
