agreed. never understood the hateGod I love him. Miss him a lot playing for united. Unlike some of you miserable feckers on here
Wayne Rooney - Derby County player
- Thread starter Zlatattack
- Start date
If he was playing like he was at 24-27 now then I'd throw Martial in the river but by the end of his time at United he was simply not good enough despite only being in his early 30s.
Watched the game. He was poor as was the whole Derby attack. It was a smash and grab win. But he can hit them.
Thats lovely
Exactly what a legend.
Everyone makes mistakes but some really find it hard to forgive them within our fanbase dont we?
At the end of the day Rooney gave his whole prime career to United & what a career it was.
Superb free-kick.
He did threaten to leave for City did he not? That is the reason why people like him less.
It frustrated me more then, but I am over it now.
Also he had poor year here at the end.
Guess he was aware (insider knowledge) of the direction the club was heading - the poing where we are today.
Bit unfair, I think. Rppney gave us 10 solid years before his drop off into the footballing Tartarus.

The Sun and Daily Mirror said he was going to city and people believed it and held it against him. Nobody brings up that after he resigned he did an interview with Paddy Crerand where he said he never would’ve signed for city and that he was thinking Madrid or Barcelona.
He didn't do it and that's all that matters. I forgave him since he stayed and broke records and helped us.
Holding on hatred for something that ultimately didn't actually happen isnt part of my personality.
We might all have thoughts of leaving our partner in bad situations & assume the grass is greener on the other side but ultimately if it doesn't happen and we stay loyal - it was thought about, it didn't happen and that relationship can grow again.
Was this ever found to be true?
Still a shame to see how badly he has aged.
Guys like Suarez (33) or Lewandowski (32) are only a bit younger than him (34) and they still play at an insanely high level.

And yet his legacy and CV is just as strong as both.
Rooney was playing at an 'insanely high level' (16) a lot earlier than those two.
Legend
If only he had stayed fitter

Being as we are linked with Cavani and certain posters on here thinking that would be a good move, what about Rooney instead. Only 1 year older than Cavani and understands the club and is used to playing in the premier league
I'm obviously wumming here guys, on both players

Definitely true, but that still doesn't mean it was impossible for him to stay at this level until his mid-thirties.
Interim coach at Derby.
Hope he does well.

Where have you seen that? Nothing about who's coming in (permanent or temporarily) on that statement Derby put out.

Hope he does well! Have a feeling he will, legend!
So who picks the team if they have 4 "interim coaches"?
2/3 players each.
Yeah. Be great if he could do something similar to Lampard and Gerrard and work his way up to the top.
Rooney decides the attacks
Walker decides the midfield
Rosenior decides the defenses
Given decides the keeper
Would love seeing him managing in the premier League!
The interim coaches are only there for the duration of the international break surely. They'll most likely appoint a manager before their next game.
Just googled Liam Rosenior and feel old now. Only 5 years older him but he's retired and I remember his dad playing.
Haha, makes sense.
Derby are down in the dumps, aren’t they? From being a step away from the PL in the playoff final under Lampard to being bottom of the Championship.
As much as I would love Rooney to succeed, they need a proper manager and I don’t think this random team of coaches led by Rooney is the ideal way forward.

John Terry second favourite (after Rooney) according to the bookies.
They should go for Howe.
They should go for Howe.
I'd say Howe has his eyes on a premiership job,
Terry will get it with Rooney as player assistant.
If Terry picks Rooney as his assistant, he's dumber than he looks. He'll need proper coaches, not someone higher profile who obviously has an eye on his job.
I’ve heard derby are going to be taken over soon by Arabs.( not Dundee United )

Imagine if he wins every game gets automatic promotion and Lampards the Utd job following the interim after Ole gets sacked in March.
Thread title needs to be updated.
Seems to have gotten off to a good start. Read an interview about his approach to team selection and coaching. Seems a sensible way to get player reactions and try to drive some improvement in the squad.
Anyone else following this?
