Yeh, taking the piss with Rooney but you can't say you would be surprised, I mean Rooney at right midfield is pretty close.
I agree and am not reading anything into this McNair our future RB for 10 years but I just can't see Rafael featuring again unless McNair, Valencia, probably Young and who knows maybe even Jones and Smalling are injured. I understand he might not be match fit (how can he be when he doesn't play) but when fit, he has not been given the same time as Valencia and it's just a shame as he is simply better, no one in their right mind will argue that.
I admit it's a bit kneejerk because I love Rafael but it's just hard to come to terms with when it's a simple case of not playing our best RB when we need one. This argument about he can't be relied upon, okay, I'll listen to that but we need our best players on the pitch and he makes us a better team.
