Rooney

I know this is not exactly relevant to NUFC (but then again the Darren Ferguson thread isn't either) but I was just thinking about this twat today.

Wasn't his whole recent spat with Man Utd about the quality of their squad and the need to strengthen it?

I know this fat arsehole ended up with as far bigger pay packet but I was under the impression that his main beef was with the lack of quality signings since Ronaldo left.

Given that Taggard has said he will not be signing anyone in the transfer window, has Rooney simply confirmed that it was all about money anyway?

yes

He's been s*** this season too

Just stating the obvious. 

It's shocking to think that a footballer could be greedy.

I was referring to OP mate.

He's finished.

I lot of the Manchester United fans that I work with (who are mostly season ticket holders) speculated at the time that Rooney was merely serving as a mouthpiece for Ferguson, who never bites the hand that feeds him, with the intention of encouraging the owners to release funds and/or moving the spotlight off him (as many United fans have complained over the club's recent lack of dabbling in the transfer market).

Wrong.

Right.

Finished? 

The moment you shift your focus away from your game especially at this level the quicker your game will suffer and the harder it becomes to recapture your best form. See Ronaldinho or all those other top players who shifted their focus from their game to money, shagging, partying or whatever. He will never ever get back to the level he was at and is finished as a genuine world-class footballer. I say this as someone who rates him or did massively.

Fair enough. I think it's a bit early to say so personally.

Didn't Ronaldo shift his focus when he was shagging Paris Hilton and that lot? Whilst he was having a kid with fuck knows who?

He's still one of the top 5 players in the world.

He's finished.

Wow, what a huge load of bollocks that statement is.

Generalisationtastic.

Rooney has had a poor season, granted, but he's far from finished.  Considering that he pretty much carried the team last season across all competitions and looked physically exhausted by the end of it, not to mention taking part in a gruelling World Cup campaign, he's entitled to have one off season.

Using Ronaldinho as a comparison is ludicrous.  That boy was allegedly out on the tiles all the time and the impact on his fitness/weight was obvious.  It's not like Rooney is in Panacea (or woe betide, Tiger Tiger) constantly.

And Ronaldo doesn't seem to be doing too badly, given that he seems to shag anything that moves.

I read somewhere that 30 yobs turned up outside Rooney's house threatening to kill him if he joins Man City. So Rooney decided to change his mind and take the pay rise option.

Good player who's had 1 great season.

I wouldn't go as far as Chris as to say he's 'finished', but I don't think he'll ever get back to his best. He's on the decline IMO.

Understatement. Rooney's mentally weak, Ronaldo isn't.

Bollocks, tbh.

Agreed.  This thread is comedy gold.
