Kai Rooney Signs For United

Wazza on the Overlap on Kai:
"He's got my physique, [although] he'll be taller than me. He's a goalscorer, he's in the box and sniffs chances out, that's his game. He's doing okay.

"It's too early [to say whether he has a chance]. He's shown potential. He'll be at United for the next two years and that's when they make decisions on you. We'll wait and see.

"I ask him questions, after training or games. I'll ask him what he thinks and try to give him a bit of guidance really. Like his goal against City [in the Albert Phelan Cup], as a forward you get told to run across from post so he kept doing that. So I said 'You need to be aware of who's in the penalty area. If you're on your own, you need to make a decision whether you go front or back'. So he was on his own and he pulled to the back post, the ball comes and he scores a header. Just little things like that.

"I enjoy watching him, I enjoy watching the games. There was a great game in the quarter-finals to beat Liverpool 3-2. They were 0-2 down, United, and Kai scored to get them back into it. Then it went to 2-2. They [United] got a player sent off at 0-2, then Kai got sent off for a tackle, but they won the game 3-2.

"He's aggressive, in a good way. He's doing well."

The advantage some of these star kids have is something amazing. Learning the mentality aspect of the game from your father who's seen it all is quite invaluable + access to the best facilities and coaching you can think of. I truly wonder why many don't make it with this advantage? Just hope Kai does though!

I think the disadvantage of having the last name and everyone hyping you since the age of 9 can easily be enough to counter all that.

Many might lack that hunger a player who doesn’t have it all could possess.

Natural talent matters
 
Imagine asking a father if his son will make it on a global platform. Wayne answered that well, but c'mon Gary.

It seems impressive until you realise he probably plays football everyday so you'd expect him to be half decent at kicking a ball

Minimum expectations really

So what you’re saying is: “That’s his job!” Are you Roy Keane in disguise?
 
Would be incredible if he did break through at United in a few years. Rooney up front again.

Interesting interview.

Just because it's been really annoying me - who's the first PL player Kai mentions (about 2.59)?

The second is obviously Drogba. I kept thinking it was another player beginning with D but couldn't work out who - after multiple listens, I'm now thinking maybe he actually says 'I liked Henry'?

Henry
 
To be fair to him, he speaks better than his dad does, and he seems to be a confident kid. Manc accent too, so we've managed to get rid of the scouse in one generation.

He does say Henry. Its a mix of his accent and the microphone. I sounds like he's saying "I like Donry", because the mic seemed to pick up the end of the word with the next word.

Yeah, that's exactly it!

For all the world it sounds like Donry - and I just couldn't work out who the hell that could be! :lol:
