I love the caf
Robin Van Persie - Were you happy we sold Jaap Stam?
- Thread starter Amethyst
- Start date
Their goal record almost identical (RvP in Arsenal vs Rooney in United) - but Rooneys all-round contribution bigger. Both excellent players - but in my opinion Rooney was the 3rd best striker/attacker in the P.L over the last 15 years. Only Ronaldo and Henry was better, for me at least.
Thread titleSome next level mind-fecking going on here
Jaap stam was our only decent cb at the time. Wes showed promise but his career was already ravaged with injuries. We replaced a top cb with a had been. That was crazy
Would nobody think of Jordi Cruyff?
Pep or money?
Yes, let's go back almost 20 years and talk about Stam
Never should have sold Sparky in 1986.
absolutely spot on - Edwards more interested in the £s
let me just get this straight, you're saying that we should organise our societies along the lines of the lobsters?
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
So what you're really saying is we should have bought Gullit?
No, he's saying we should have held out for David Hirst.
Where does Memphis come into this?
Why are people laughing at him? Is it because he put a fullstop before question mark? Grammar police is out in full force.
@Baby Groot it was a valid question and I apologise about the responses.
You keep asking questions like that or whatever questions you want in any thread. You’d get promoted in no time. Don’t listen to the others who are laughing at you and setting you up for fail. @The holy trinity 68 has only been here like two minutes, so what does he know about getting promoted? You stick with the hard hitting questions.

That's the only gameplan, bamboozle the scouts.
Only time I was more annoyed was when we didn't offer a permanent contract to William Prunier.
Hardly. I've only just got here...
Technically RVP was better, but Rooney was more explosive. I wish Rooney never got married and never mellowed. I wish he got married in his mid 30s. I think we would have seen the explosive Rooney for a few more years then had he maintained that aggressiveness and explosiveness.
Japp
Great goal.
This goal made me think about his last year with us, what went wrong with him and Van Gaal?
Did he lost that much pace (he never relied on pace)
Seriously what is it?

He was shite, so stiff and immobile he looked like if he tried something like that volley against Charlton he would snap in two. I guess the injuries just caught up with him and he couldn't hack the standard of the league anymore, hence why he's been arsing around in a couple of Europe's lower leagues since.
Moyes probably ruined him in pre-season
This is why I love the Caf. Trying writing this Hollywoods finest!Thread about RVP turns into a debate about who was better between him and Rooney, then a dig at Lukaku gets dropped in, then Jaap Stam being sold gets thrown in, what's going on?
No I wasn't . But learned to accept it with time..
It's Mourinho's fault, he refuses to coach posting.Thread about RVP turns into a debate about who was better between him and Rooney, then a dig at Lukaku gets dropped in, then Jaap Stam being sold gets thrown in, what's going on?
Post of the Year.
How this thread turned out to be. should thank the newbie for that laugh.
should thank the newbie for that laugh.I only just noticed that.!
The hell?!Rooney was a great player during his prime days, but I think you're overrating him a bit.
He never really reached the heights of Suárez, Aguero, Kane, Shearer, De Bruyne, Hazard,
despite only being here for a short amount of time, i'm really fond of him. found this on twitter and it got me buzzing:

Brilliant
. It felt like he was dragging us forward single-handedly for much of his first season, much like van Nistelrooy did at times a decade before. I love him. More importantly, how could we have allowed this guy to get banned before making him explain exactly what the feck he was on about?I'm fond of him also. Hope he's back at the club as a coach.
Always found him very intelligent when listening to him.
