He's definitely a sack of shit. He's from Liverpool.

This should be in the thread title.
He hasn't been good in 2016. He was alright for one month, with a decent goal haul putting a shine on some otherwise average performances, then he was injured for two months, then largely shit for the last three months leading up to present day.
He's sprinkled this with a handful of good performances here and there, but we should be getting far more than sprinkles from a player like him. Now watch him get fat and out of shape during his holiday and spend five months training himself into something that barely passes for a professional footballer. Maybe he'll even score a couple of goals against a team of lorry drivers and earn himself a starting place in the team for the next ten months.
The emergence of Rashford in his absence should have been the death knell for him, but he found a way to keep himself getting selected by inventing new positions that he's supposedly good enough at to be a starter for United and England. In reality, though, it just involves him passing long floaters out to the right back from a different area of the pitch than he did in the last game.

Ah, summer. The perfect season for packing on the pounds. Only a few short unsupervised weeks for an elite athlete to enjoy chips, sausage, cake, pie, fried chicken and cigarettes. Deep lying playmakers who can spray passes around don't need to be as mobile as "support strikers". This is known. Extra gravy on mine, please.
I'm sure he'll score plenty against Europa League fodder next season to pad out his stats. And his die hard fans will use that to justify him starting every week.
You think he will be a striker?
Well I'm guessing once he starts the season playing like shite in Midfield we'll start to hear the usual crap about how his best position is actually up front and that's where he should play. And then when he's shite up front, he'll be moved back into midfield.
And so on and so on.
He won't be pushing Zlatan off the 9 position any time soon.
I told you guys we should have sold him years ago, back when Chelsea was giving us 30 million for him. Moyes with another, and hopefully last, "feck you" to us.
Just sell him no matter how much they give. He is detrimental to the team and he hasn't been good for years, anyway.

I wasn't on the Caf then, but I thought so as well at the time. Just hope that Jose doesn't persist with him if he's not performing. Make him earn his place.
Question, if we sold him now. Would it be to the detriment of the team? Would it strengthen our rivals? Would United lose its big name appeal? Would Rooney lose his status, for those wanting him to retire here?
No. As a matter of fact, in a month or two we all would get over it easily.
Sell

If we had sold him then we would have been even worse. He was arguably our best outfielder that season
It's going to be tough for some to keep the 'agenda' argument going when only 9.8% of Caf posters think he's still got a big part to play (according to the Mains poll); are we then supposed to still believe that the vast majority are 'bitter, twisted, deluded and disloyal'?
I somehow remember it differently. I thought he was playing well up until the point he finally signed his contract extension. After that, he was mostly back to being hit and miss (mostly miss) for the rest of that season.
Seems about right to me. Caf seems to amplify performances. Oh Wayne Rooney has had a terrific 2016 when he actually had just one good month.
Even if that's true, he signed the contract end of Feb or beginning of March? It's still a good season.
We came 7th!
Not such a good season...But I honestly don't remember the time line of when he signed the contract. i thought it was a few months into the new season.
Anyway we'll see what happens next.
He does tend to have one or two good months in the season
But unfortunately, if we want to win the title, we need consistency from all the players. As I've said, I can only hope that Jose doesn't afford him 'privileges' even when he plays shit.Yeah team was horrible bar him DDG and for a few months januzaj.We came 7th!

For what it's worth I doubt he would be sold a few goals off Sir Bobby's record. Plus reportedly mourinho loves him too
He started the a Moyes season well and descended into the same form as everyone around November. Can't really say that's a good season. RVP was still comfortably our highest goal scorer that year.
I don't know how Jose trying to buy a player in 2013 equates to loving him in 2016. Jose also reportedly loved Falcao. Lvg also loved Rooney, so did Hodgson.
He won't go to China, he just does not seem the type to pack his bags from his comfort and move to a new continent. Our best hope would have been to sell him to Madrid/Chelsea but that boat sailed when Moyes screwed it up after SAF literally gave him the easy route to sell Rooney. Fergie knew all along that Wayne was past it.
This is what I've been trying to say.
I think he's in trouble. Mourinho made it clear he's not going to move him around.
If he fails to impress in the No.10 role, he's going to be dropped.
The thinkg is Ibrahimovic likes dropping into the No,10 so that space could be clogged up.

Mou also said he prefers specialists as well and don't think it will take him long to see Rooney is not a specialist 10. Rooney and Ibra also for me is not an ideal combo, can see them alternating more than playing together.
Bit premature to write obituaries about him saying he is finished at the club. What Mourinho pretty much confirmed was he is going to be his Number 10 just off Ibra and flanked by Martial and Mkhitaryan. Rooney's job now is to basically score goals for the team and considering his last best return in the league was 17 goals three years back, onus is firmly on him to prove that he has a place in the side.
He said he would play as a 9 MAYBE a 10. Key word being maybe.
The other part you are missing is he said things like even I can play a great pass without pressure. This was a bit of an assault on Rooney tbh
Expect a Paul Stratford style briefing any day now to address Mourinho's press conference.
I'd put money on it being from Ogden.

No Rooney in CM. Rooney as a 10.
This means Fellaini or him is out the door.

Yes, I liked that Mourinho settled this Rooney in midfield debate with that one quote. IMO that maybe was in regards to Rooney's position under him, not in regards to if he'll actually play. I suspect he still views him as a key player and most likely his captain so it would be interesting to see what happens if Rooney under performs in his new role. I just think reactions are bit premature where a lot are convinced this is it for him.
I think it marks the beginning of the end tbh
I also think he'll definitely be a starter but unlike before, he won't be moved around if he doesn't play well, he'll be dropped.
Angry and confused again? Possibly miffed and unsure this time?
Angrier and even more confused.
He might just accept a secondary role, you never know. That way, he keeps his high wages and doesn't get worn out. Plus, he won't have to move to another club/country when he's so settled here.
That's the beauty isn't it? Dropped once and forever. Nobody in management to hide behind. If he can't cut it in his best position then he can't be a first team for this club.
