Fergie In A £25m Bid For Rooney

I saw two articles today. One from Pele saying Rooney has not produced the same form that he did at Euro 2004 and one from Lippi that Rooney is the perfect striker because he works for the team.

Given their past comments, who are you most likely to agree with?

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.

Most talented young players make a big impact then go quiet, but i think he can and will score more goals than he does.

Lippi because he appreciates Rooneys role more clearly but the thing pele shouldn't forget is Rooneys have 3/4 foot injuries and these things have really shunted his development somewhat

He's more a selfless player then he used to be, hopefully he'll stay injury free and find a happy medium.
 
Really,really embarrassing how some people are on the caf spouting off complete and utter bolox on a regular basis and it doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest!
 
well this thread has been due a bump fpr a while... now seems like a good day

It wont happen, end of. 25M for a reserve, are we becoming mad?

Ill sign Rooney for 25m only if Everton accept to feed him for the rest of his Career at OT ;)

so dev is this everton reserve still overated

Rooney isnt worth more than 10m, .

hummmm

Sorry Davo but I dont share your opinion that we should spent outrageous sums of money just because Rooney is English and is promising. There are several other options in the world. Forwards who would give their heart and soul to our cause just like what Cantona did for us in the past and same thing that RVN does for us week in week out.

The sum mentioned for Rooney is ridiculous. 25m is 6m more than the sum that consented us to sign RVN (and if I am not mistaken) 10m more than constented AC Milan to sign Sheva. Is Rooney thaat good? NO HE ISNT.

isnt he dev... most of us could see that talent in 2004 and that he was that good

I gave my opinion about Rooney and as stated before I dont see him worth 25m, or half that sum. We shouldnt allow to get ripped of by Everton, there are much better talent around.

that much better talent... you didnt give a good answer at the time... do you have one now?


Reyes should be considered as a much more finished article than Rooney proving himself to be a regular scorer in the Liga, something Rooney has yet to achieve. If Reyes is considered as a 17m – 20m player than Rooney should be considered much “cheaper”

PPL here think that I having something against Rooney, no I have nothing against him. What I have pointed out is that it would be ridiculous to sign a player who has yet to win a regular place at Everton, and prove himself to be a CONSISTANT striker at the EPL. I mean it is still premature to label him as a world class player and put a 25m (because that is the price of a world class talent) tag around his neck. There are safer options around, players like Adriano for example.


As stated before you really really need to be special for me to sign an 18 year old for 25m. And special means to be at Owen's and Ronaldo's bracket. Do you reckon Rooney as good as an 18 year old Owen or Ronaldo? No he isnt.

10 - 12m is flattering enough for a player who has yet to demostrate that he is a regular scorer WITH an average team.

ADRIANO... :lol::lol::lol: yes didnt he turn out to be the safe option

Personally I don’t see the need of signing Rooney. I mean RVN has still at least 4 – 5 good years left in him while Forlan and Saha will reach their peak only in 5 years time. The only “veteran” left in our forward line seems to be Ole. But at 31 Ole has at least 2 good years left in him and by that time I think that Eagles would be old enough to replace Ronaldo on the flank and therefore enabling the Portuguese to move up in the forward line. Not to forget Bellion, Gomez and Timm, that by that time one of them would be good enough to act at least as our forth striker! We have time at our side and we should use that time to search for other options rather than spend 25m for someone who would struggle to breach the Saha – RVN partnership.

wow... just wow... it sounds as stupid now as it did then

Oh dear, i bet some people were dreading the bumping of this thread.

yes i bet they are

Hindsight always makes people look like fools. I'm sure if someone bumped one of your threads in a couple of years, you would look like a complete tool as well. Actually, everyone knows you are a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime already, so nobody needs to bump anything.

i dont even know who the feck you are...

go back to play in the noobs
 
25 mil for Looney, sorry, Rooney? That's quite laughable. :rolleyes: Wonder how do these people come up with such nonsense..

£25 million for Rooney??, thats the most stupid quote I have seen for a long time. The fat slob is not worth more than £10mil and that is with all the hype around him.

Rooney isnt worth more than 10m, feckin sake, we are talking about an Everton’s reserve! Ok the talent is there, ok he may become a great player but its still premature to start bidding ridiculous money for him. We are talking about an 18 year old, who can hold a place with Everton and whose manager is finding it hard to restrain his negative attitude (staying out of the limelight, refrain his aggressivity, not getting fat)

I know that I am being too harsh with Rooney, I mean he is still so young. But despite having faith in his talent, the money on stake is feckin too much. At half that price you can get ready made young world-class players and not a gamble.

:lol:

He's someone with a lesser number of posts and a later join date than you. Hence more inferior, right?

Did you forget about your 'Let's cream over Tevez' thread already? Where you consistently referred to Berbatov as 'berbaflop'? Yeah, it's me that's the immature one :wenger:

That's nothing to be proud of. In fact, it just highlights how shit of a poster you are. Why would any fan not want a player to succeed?

:lol: x 1,000,000 at Devilish

How wrong can you get it.

Back to your locker of childish insults, then?

Berbatov's performances for us are irrelevant - only an imbecile would call someone 'berbaflop.'
 
e-threats make you e-hard.

yeah i might have to krunk it off just to stand up...

but no i dont see the point in getting e-personal... id much sooner somebody come up and fight because im a bit of a caaant ant i like smacking people... just because i said teveth was playing better than berbaflop this season somebody started crying over it... they were probably feeling all e-motional after cracking off over theif berbaflop footy cards...

it has been a rumtacular afternoon... still back to the point... rooney was worth the money and dev was so wrong about so many things that even by his standards this thread stands out
 
All those comments made by Devilish were 5 years ago, loads of things change in 5 years. Although Rooney was always a great talent but as I remember many people had reservations of paying 25 Million for a 18yr old youngster. This thread was made before the Euro 2004 so Rooney wasn't tested on the international stage as yet. Many people thought Ronaldo was a one-trick pony 3-4 years ago, look how that turned out. I don't particularly agree with Devilish's opinion on most of things but he shouldn't be getting stick for things said 5 years ago.
