I think Wayne Rooney is the dog’s bollocks. If we had eleven of him, I’d be made up. He swears too much at the ref, which is something I can do without, but other than that, I struggle to find fault with him.
He’s brilliantly skilful, passionate, determined, a grafter, fast, cheeky and he has it in him to stay at the club forever.
Sir Alex Ferguson has given possibly my favourite description of our boy wonder.
“We couldn’t not buy Rooney,” said Ferguson. “We knew about him when he was 14 but he wouldn’t come then, and he wouldn’t come when we tried again at 16. When he became professional and started thinking about winning things we knew there would be a change in his attitude, if not necessarily in Everton’s. So we bought him for £26 million or whatever it was. You knew what you getting with Rooney. He gets all your emotions going, drags you in with the physical, emotional way he plays. When he starts to compete and show that great desire and intensity, you say to yourself, ‘Fucking hell, what is he made of the boy’? You’re starting to think, ‘I’ll maybe rest Rooney this week’. Then he comes up to you in training and says, ‘I hope I’m playing on Saturday. If I don’t play against Middlesbrough I won’t play well against Arsenal. I’m hopeless if I’m rested’. He’s something else.”

love him, how can you not?
although as a future captain, hard to say
rooney is an out and out captain red dave
i dont know what more he can do to inspire a team
to lift them by the scruff and play every minute of a game like it was his last
That’s the attitude I wish every professional footballer had. And on their wages they should all have the desire to play that Rooney has
he is our future captain, no doubt…. he will become one of the very very greatest
Then he comes up to you in training and says, ‘I hope I’m playing on Saturday. If I don’t play against Middlesbrough I won’t play well against Arsenal. I’m hopeless if I’m rested’. Rooney blackmailing Fergie in a nice way, lol
He has ended up being at CB position more than twice this season when we had our corners.he can fuckin play anywhere.Go on Wazza
What a player!Fergie’s words are my sentiments exactly.
I am a Spurs fan and I think Rooney is an incredible talent. Not the same skill as Ronaldo or Messi but for sheer endeavour and hunger he is without peer.
They talked of the midfielders needed to replace Keane. Rooney is cut from the same cloth of desire, will to win, love of football and sheer intensity.
He is made to be captain. I recall the time he wore the armband with such pride at Roma in the group stages last year in the Champions League, when our passage through (and winning our group) to the knockout stages was already booked. He played with a squad made up ENTIRELY of reserves at Roma, mind you, and they got a draw and played Roma off the pitch with Rooney being the inspiration, working his socks off. Think his normal intensity and multiply it by ten. I knew right then he will be one of our great captains ever.
rooney does not score enough.people gave andy cole stick rooney is just as bad .he misses far to many chances easy ones at that mabay if he relaxed a bit instead of trying to put the keeper and ball into the back of the net . apart from that he could be the best on the planet but not there yet. please prove me wrong on wed.
@GHTT
you are right i feel, ahh well
the scousers will go mental if united have a captain from liverpool
even if he is an evertonian
Wayne Rooney is the best player on earth. Raw talent that is on a par with the Ronaldo’s and Messi’s of the world. A love and dedication to United that is only matched by Nev, Giggsy and Scholesy. Rooney will, and wants to play anywhere. You see him kissing the badge and it sends chills down your spine.
In my opinion the 1 goal that totally sums Wazza is when he scored 91st minute winner against AC Milan 06/07. Great goal. European night. Stretford End. Sliding on his knees to the corner flag with the joy for all to see.
Rooney, Rooney, Rooney
I loved that goal Nemanja, brilliant pass, and what a strike. But he has scored so many. I think the one that typifies him the most is the wonderstrike against Newcastle a few seasons ago, moaning at the ref, moaning at the ref, ball comes near him, volleys into top corner, moaning at the ref, BRILLIANT!
Rooney – ~united for life (I hope), He may go over the top at times with his mouthing at refs, but thats just the lads passion. Captains are supposed to lead by example, with Rooneys attitude,, there is no one beter
I’d love to see him as skipper. I think that’ll happen when he finally settles into his best position in the centre, able to pull the strings right across the front line while bossing the forward parts of midfield. He’s still learning the game and expanding his tactical awareness, and soon he’ll be at his peak. It’s not only his thumping great goals I love, it’s the way he helps out team-mates with those lungbusting charges back to clean out danger from the edge of his own box. And is there a finer sight in football than the huge grin on his face when United win ? He’s still like the big kid we’d all like to be in a kick-about with his mates down the local park.
Lock for future captain.
I’ve no doubt that Wayne Rooney is the future Manchester United captain.
Rooney is one of the most complete forwards in the modern game, having improved just about every aspect of his game ever since he left Everton for United. His attacking awareness, pace, power, strength, aggression and vision set him apart from other forwards, making him an indispensible member of any team he plays for. His boundless energy, tenacity, indefatigability and winning mentality endear him to the fans, for we are all too aware of what a delightful gem Rooney is – an exceedingly rare combination of talent, skill, passion and hard work. He has been at Manchester United for six seasons now, and yet he is only twenty-four, with his best years still ahead of him. Rooney has scored 17 goals or more in each season he’s been with the club, a consistent if unspectacular tally, but he clearly brings so much more to the team than mere goals. He provides innumerable assists and creates attacking opportunities for his teammates, a testament to his tactical awareness and vision. He has the craft, but this wouldn’t mean anything without his willingness to graft. He is a true match-winner, and, in my opinion, is just as important to any team as the Messis and Ronaldos of the world.
Wayne Rooney wears his heart on his sleeve, and no one, in this little sport we call football, embodies the meaning of passion and desire better than he does.
I believe he will walk in the footsteps of Giggs, Neville and Scholes. I noticed that he got matured within this season. not talking so much to the referees etc. perfect player, winning mentality is incredible, that guy is wonder and future legend of the club
THE WHITE PELE IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PLAYER. DEFINITELY CAPTAIN MATERIAL. ONCE A BLUE,ALWAYS A RED!
rooney certainly will be legend at united. playing wherever gaffer asked his to play, without any complaint or ever sulking even he is playing on left sided of play. best player in united this season in my book
what can i say..
Ha ha well said corea
He will be captain no doubt people probably doubted Roy Keane’s captaincy ability at Wazza’s age.
He is the dogs bollocks. A world class footballer, who I hope will stay at United forever.
Absolutely love the lad. Always the first to concratulate the scorer as well. Definate future captain. Nothing more to say that hasn’t already been said!
On another topic, Mourinho said he wouldn’t swap Zlatan, even for Cristiano Ronaldo. Thank goodness for that! you can keep that waste of space you cunt.
@ Kings
haha. mate, it’s like a breath of fresh air ))) keep him. haha.
probally because his on the left or helping out at the back most of the time , colla…imo i dont think he misses alot of chances , 9 times out of 10 he puts them in the net but its not like he gets loads of chances does he
would love to see him playing in the centre of midfield
he as the drive and determination of keane and the skill and creativity of scholes
I agree 100% with Kinkyp… (Despite the name)
But why can’t Rooney play in CM? He could be a perfect replacement for Paul Scholes, even equpied with the same bad tackling every now and then. But he would relish the chance to pop up at the top of the box 25 yards out from goal to smash some in. Or arriving late in the box unmarked. Or hell, we all know for a fact he would love tracking an oppossing player 30 yards at a dead spring and making the perfect tackle that denies a scoring opportunity. F playing him at Left mid, put him in the center and watch him thrive!!!
We all love Wayne
hey jack ronaldo played on the right wing it dosent stop him from scoring a bag full every year.for a guy who cost 25 mil and has had a long tim to settle in he should be scoring 20 leauge goals a season.just one fans thoughts.that he needs to work on his finishing
