Not involved much so far but Derby really should be in front.
Wayne Rooney - Derby County player
- Thread starter Zlatattack
- Start date
Just saw pics in a news article before the game. Ha he had a beard transplant??
Never saw it. Honestly.
He hasn’t been in the game so far.
Bigger than Ince and Irwin?
Rooney 
Marriot is hopeless
Marriot is hopelessAngry Wayne. 3 big chances missed by Marriott alone.
Yes...?
1-0 Derby, Rooney assist. Good set piece
I love him! Off the mark already with an assist.
Thats why he's captain. Jack needed that kick up the arse
Ryan Giggs at 34. What a difference a bit of yoga makes.
United can still do with his free kick and corners
Nicely scripted. Camera shows Colleen opening a bottle of plonk in the exec box, Rooney takes the free kick and Marriott finally scores after missing some good chances in the 1st half.
Of course.
Yes! It’s fecking Rooney
He did his best to feck that up tbh.
He looks a smidge pudgy but nowhere near that fat.
Those were the days. Can't believe it's been over 10 years since then! Feels like 2 different clubs seeing our standards now to then.
Ryan Giggs at 34. What a difference a bit of yoga makes.
One of the worst back passes I've seen.
Could still use him at United, purely as an influence in the dressing room. No way would he have stood for that shite against Arsenal last night.
trademark long diagonal to the right starts the move and Derby up 2 to 1.
Here's hoping he can turn back the clock and deliver some Euro 2004 performances this season
How is he doing? Keeping up with the pace?
More than good enough so far. Derby scored their first from a very smart cross from Rooney and he was directly involved in their second as well.
Seriously why did we get rid of him. Solskjaer would never sell him.
Feels like it’s been longer than 10 to me
He would be a better option than lingard, mata or Pereira in the 10...even though I can just see the raking crosses to the wings from deep.
Because at the time we felt we could spend money to replace him and be attractive enough to replace him.
Because he wasn’t good enough anymore. The problem is that when he left we started to fill our squad with even worse players.
And this has what to do with Wayne Rooney?

He's a player manager?
Coach
By the time we sold Rooney, he was pretty much as useless as Lingard. A shame how quickly his form deteriorated but if anything he should have been sold even sooner.
He wasn't quite as bad as Lingard. At least he used to actually score or assist.
Oh he was pretty bad. I still remmber all the poor first touches, the walking like pace, easily getting dispossessed. He looked like a drunk man
Oh sorry are we only supposed to be blowing smoke up his arse in this thread? With the ability he had he should still be here shepherding this squad like Giggs and Scholes did for him but instead he let himself go and semi-retired at 31.
We didn't even try though. Mourinho bought Lukaku and then played Mata behind him.
