Astroblack Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 No way I can support that team with Man City's connection. Plus playing in a baseball stadium is just stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 He's easily a Premier League legend. Absolutely exceptional player with incredibly high standards season, after season, after season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 You know how. Our best player, and one of the best in the World. 19 goals and 18 assists this season and people said he played shit. He can't win with a lot of people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 He's a very good player, held back by his own ego at times. My main criticism of him is at the national level, he's clearly been one of the outstanding players of hte premier league season for a while. People's frustration with him seems over his failure to push on and get into that ballon d'or candidate bracket. He's basically very good but there's plenty better.

Incognito Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 As I said in the England thread, he could've been so much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 We had a shit season this year like. He has scored plenty in big games before. He's a great player. Obviously not in the Ronaldo/Messi bracket, but he's in the bracket below that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Froggy's Rooney agenda is one of the most tedious things on the forum like.

Neil Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 He had the world at his feet with us and the first 2-3 years at Man Utd. He just hasn't pushed on as much as he should have, and I'd be very surprised if you disagree with that Froggy. That isn't to say he's not still a very, very good player and on his day exceptional, but those days aren't anywhere near as regular as they were.

Flip Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Rooney is an exceptional player. Anything else is bollocks. Sure he could've been even better, but he's still one of the absolute top in the world. He's not had the best season in his career and despite that he's scored and created a lot for his team. He had the world at his feet with us and the first 2-3 years at Man Utd.

That isn't to say he's not still a very, very good player and on his day exceptional, but those days aren't anywhere near as regular as they were.

And I say that as someone who likes Froggy, despite his terrible TV taste. Shut up about Rooney, Froggy. He's shit. How many digs were got in there you Mike-loving fucker. Do I really go about him that much? Solskjaer is my guy, not Rooney. He had the world at his feet with us and the first 2-3 years at Man Utd. He just hasn't pushed on as much as he should have, and I'd be very surprised if you disagree with that Froggy. That isn't to say he's not still a very, very good player and on his day exceptional, but those days aren't anywhere near as regular as they were. He's a completely different player now than he was then of course. It's not that I disagree with you, it's just that people remember what Rooney was like when he was younger but seem to forget he's a completely different player now. Of course most people would rather see the young, explosive Rooney terrorising defenders, but Fergie obviously thought he would be more effective dropping deeper, and I think I agree with him. As a #10 I believe he's different class. I'd have been absolutely devastated to lose him. People were shocked at his wages but had we not had him this season, fuck knows where we would have finished. I'm hoping he can have a good World Cup and then come into next season full of confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not one of the best in the world like He is, how you could even argue that is beyond me. Rooney is a great player to watch, give me 20 players better than him that could do a job in multiple positions like he can. One of the best in the world doesn't necessarily mean top 3 in the world, which he obviously isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
