Michael Owen is full of praise for young Wayne Rooney who became part of Manchester United’s 100 goals club after scoring against Wigan at the weekend.
“You forget how young Wayne is because he has already achieved so much in the game,” said Owen. “It’s fantastic to score 100 goals for United at such a young age. Not many players do that at any club, let alone United. He fully deserves the accolades. I’m delighted for him, as I’m sure everyone else is. Wayne is the sort, though, who will already be looking at the next target, the next milestone.”

i think he will become our all time top scorer by the time he retires…
off topic – TWENTY FOUR MILLION for Lescott! How over priced? They are over the moon over on the MEN site one even says “£24 million WOW. We are on a journey, how many fans of other clubs wish they were on this journey”? The arrogant bastards even have the cheek to call Everton a small club. I hope they come a fucking cropper soon.
24m is ridiculous. hes worth no more than 15m i reckon but city are desperate to sign him and are willing to pay that much. well done moyes on holding on to lescott for this long, and another pat on the back for getting that much from city.
Read that about Lescott! £24 million? They really are tossers! What price Evans or Vidics at that rate?
@King Eric:
Hi mate. Haven’t talked to you in a few days. Good to see the team silencing a few critics even among our own fans on Saturday. And i agree with simsima69 that Wazza can become the top scorer for the club in 7-8 years time. Is there any doubt that he will still be at the club?
As far as Lescott is concerned, boy did Everton get a bargain! The problem with City is that the at the moment the barrell has no bottom. They can spend as much as they want. The trouble is that they are still a small club. That’s in their DNA and it can’t change overnight. Give them 3-4 trophyless seasons and we will see how much patience the Arabs truly have.
24 Million for a second rate fat mercenary with a fucked up knee. Bloody good business Moyes!
History eh?
EVERTON 9 LEAGUE TITLES.
MANCHESTER CITY 2 LEAGUE TITLES.
No wonder the oil baron got them so cheap. Cheap bastard can’t even lash out the money for a home!!!
Sad Bitters!!!

I hope Everton can make some decent signings and try to disturb the apple cart, that is the top four, again! They are a far better team, even without lescott than City, with all their forwards. They could easily buy two really quality players for 24 million punds, one to replace Lescott, and a good forward.
Or we could just loan out a couple from your reserve team… someone like Possebon would have done well to get a season at Everton.
I reckon Scott is starting loads of Rooney topics just so that he overtakes Ronaldo with most topics.lol.
If Lescott is worth £24 million, Richie DeLaet is at least £40 million.
Everton probably needs a few players who do not mind being subs. I mean, they still have players like Arteta who are still out…
If Owen scores 50 goals in the years with us I will be happy too.
i hope Rooney will be here for the rest of his career.. If he scores 20 goals average a season than by the time hes 29 he has scored 200.. and if hell get 5 more decent seasons (average 10 goals) he will get the Bobby Charlton record
so lets all cross our fingers.. and hopefully watch this kid make history
Rooney is on course to become a United legend and he truly deserves it. Off-topic, I’ve read something about Vida being trialed-by-video for his incident with Rodallega. I think we should surely expect him to be out for 3 games, making all ABUs happy!
I think you boys are getting sidetracked, Everton-Lescott who….huh? wtf
Grats on the ton Wayne.
Rooney you are the man, i highly doubt you will ever read this but you are a legend in my and my sons eyes, keep it mate and you WILL be the king of Man Utd.
My boy (5) watched the game and he drew new boots for Rooney, ill try and get it scanned, when i do that you fellas will be the first to see it.
We love ya Rooney, Manchester United for life!.
@james f
I hears it too. The moment i saw it happen, i was 100% sure that the FA wouldn’t let it go. They did the same with Rooney after he softly touched Ben Haim on the cheek, calling it violent conduct! Anyway, i hope thst he isn’t punished. Last year we were lucky enough to see Ronaldo not get punished for his kicking back
im lookin for owen to score 160 more goals for united so he can beat his record for that other club he played for
If Vidic tried to hit Rodallega, then you have to wonder what goes on in Vidic´s mind sometimes.. With all the injuries in the defensive lines, we don´t need a suspension to him.
well done Wayne Rooney – you are a bloody inspiration mate, and I hope with baited breath that you remain United till you die! although, if you went back to Everton at some stage, I wouldn’t hold that against you!!!
on the bitters – Lescott is worth £10 – £15mil to anyone else, but worth £25mil to citeh because their defence is nothing short of shambolic. Whilst they were unlucky not to score a lot more on the weekend, they were also very lucky not to conceed as well. Lescott will give them a bit more graft at the back and will be a welcome addition for them.
comeon now fellas dont be bitter we all know lescott is worth 25million
by the way i live in a world were vidic i worth £893,562,984,26p
@GHTT: Morning mate. I think that’s a pretty fair evaluation for Vidic’s in today’s wakey world. Everton must be over the moon.
I think Owen could easily get 40-50 goals in his few years with us.
Well done Rooney.Already a legend for us.
As for City paying £24 million for frankenstein,thats just fucked up but I suppose he’s only worth what some stupid club will pay for him.
I my view he is just another journeyman defender with nothing much to offer.I think its great that City are throwing their money away.
There are a few threads on Rooney’s achievement but as this is the most current I thought I’d post here.
When you think of Rooney’s age, the number of injuries he’s suffered plus the amount of times he’s played “out of position”, to reach 100 goals is simply incredible. I absolutly love this guy. His effort, commitment, drive and passion for our club are there for all to see. He will become a legend at Utd and I can’t wait to watch him continue to develop into the player we all know he will become.
Once a blue, always a RED
It’s 100 goals in 5 years and taking into account exilered’s valid points, it is remarkable.As far as injuries go, i hope he will have the same development as Giggs and his injuries will become less frequent later in his career.
I thought the price would drop a little bit after Everton’s defense conceded 6 goals against Arsenal, lol. His display in that match was quite bad. But he’s really overpriced, he should be around 10-15mills but I don’t mind seeing those morons pay too much for players.
They must be demanding for a CL spot this year with all those new signings.
I’m really starting to like little mickey. Great to see him score. Sharp finish, nice and early. But Rooney, pure class. He’s only gonna get better and better. I can’t wait to see Owen get a brace against the scum in front of the kop. I’ll be pissing my pants when he kisses the badge. After all he grew up as an everton fan, so why not.
Also of topic: Whats up with Berba!!!!! He’s working his socks off!! Anyone else noticed? Looks like he’s well up for it this season.
@M; no one knows what goes through vida’s head, hes like that monk on mean machine
Well done wazza 101 not out the white pele will rule this season.
Id be surprissed jack if this is true but modric is a top player.
we really need a mid fielder who can run to opposotion box..carrick does that very rarely…but ronaldo covered that very well….so we might need a VDV or modric or snieder in place of carrick…
and about the double hearted WR 10………WAAAAYNE ROOONEY THE WONDER BOY…he will surely be a top three competator for this years fifa world player…i am damn sure abt that……..if he continues his form he can reach the 35+ goal mile stone….with some assists..for that he must take the penalties and must practice free kicks……more over he must play as centre forward
Vishnu1729 – We have the best mate in Fletcher. When will people give him the credit he deserves? The last few months Fletch has been popping up in the opposition box. Sneijder and Van Dr Vaart are not good enough for United. They are no better than Carrick.
