Yeah and sadly that will make him more undroppable.
Were people really talking him up? Most likely they talk about his only wonder goal but scored 1 amazing goal isn't enough if you can't even play good consistency in every game with 250k per week in his pocket. I'm sorry to say this but I think Suarez deserves got paid more money than Rooney at the moment.
He was clearly played as number 9 yesterday and couldn't break thorough Stone and even when Distin went off he still couldn't play well. If I remember the only seasons he scored more than 30 goals were only 2 seasons in his career. Which is why we offered him that 250k per week. Well deserve. But now? Even last season. I don't think he deserves that money anymore.
I rather see him at Chelsea and be a good player for his sake than waste 250k per week with poor of his performance with us while we can spend cheaper on RVP, Welbeck, Hernandez, Wilson.
I actually don't mind to see Rooney starts. He's a class player in his prime. Even now he could somehow be the difference. But if he plays bad then Moyes should sub him off. I can't believe Fletcher and Welbeck were off instead of him against Bayern. I'm very surprise that he managed to play full 90 mins yesterday. Easter miracle does exist after all.
I donate 1k to Niall if Rooney is sold this summer. I'd cry from happiness.
09/10, when he was on course for 40+ until he got injured and then 11/12.
He had a good all round performance against West Ham, his movement and hold up play were excellent and he also scored two quick-thinking goals. Against Villa he was clinical too when we needed goals. I wasn't claiming he had a good game yesterday, but have you not watched Rooney enough to know that he's absolutely dog when he's playing with an injury or coming back off an injury? Doesn't mean he's any less potent a centre forward. Even last season he was generally poor, but when RVP went off the boil, Rooney was the one scoring goals for us.
I don't think the Bayern or Everton games change my opinion that Rooney is good enough to lead our attack, just when he's clearly having a stinker we should be cut throat with him.
Once in his lifetime and you said "generally"?
Twice actually. Between 2006 and 2009, he was played on the flanks more to accomodate Ronaldo at times and also didn't take penalties and free kicks which take the shine off his statistics during that period. The first half of 2010/11 he had the world cup hangover but then settled back into top form in the second half of the season and last season was also very stop start but generally he's a consistent goal scorer for us if he's fit and playing up top.
He could probably hit those height if he stops being a "me me me" and do it all by himself, and not like he has the ability for that.
Must have been annoying for Carrick for him to drop deep, it simply means "you suck, i'll have the balls"
I agree against West Ham. But against Villa sorry I was expecting a better performance from a 250k per week. Even if I include Villa as his great performance. But still play really well in two games in 2014 only against those kind of level team? hmm sorry it still won't make me think he deserves to get out from a lot of criticize. The higher players wage when they play poor the higher is the criticize too.
As a player who are paid 250k per week. I don't expect Rooney to takes too long to play well after long injury in early of 2014. Even his recently injury before Bayern's 2nd leg game are not consider as a long injury. If he can't change that habit then we need to consider reduce his wage as well. If he plays with injury then he should tell the manager already that he wants a rest so he can be fully fit because there are Welbeck and Hernandez crying and wanting for their games and chances.
Last season RVP almost never went off the boil. He was so consistent.
I don't think Rooney played well against City and Liverpool as well.
Let's look at an example of Suarez. He plays so consistent in his recently season with Liverpool. Suarez consistent great form this season is what people want and expect from Rooney (The most highest paid in a club).
Definitely yesterday he was trying to do it all, and was absolute crap. Back in 2009/10 he barely got involved in the play and scored a shedload. I was watching the AC Milan game (3-2) highlights from that season and his two goals were headers from good centre forward play, hanging off the last man. He shouldn't be coming towards the ball as much as he did yesterday.
Rooney wasn't as good all round as he was against West Ham against Villa, but he did the important thing of scoring goals when the chances came. Rooney's not in the top tier of players, he's firmly in the second, his wages aren't going to change that. He knew that Moyes couldn't afford to get rid and he held all the chips and so once again he shafted the club.
How's he shafted the club? What players turns down wage rises? How is Rooney special in anyway?
Not every player asks for a wage rise every couple of seasons. Neither do they ask to leave just as often
He kept looking for that ridiculous long pass out to the wing over and over. Every single time he got the ball. Just stop it you fecking brainless piece of shit. No wonder saf said in his book thay Rooney is slow to pick this up.
Welbeck does the same thing in term of scoring goals in December until January. And he's being paid almost 4 times lower than Rooney's wage. And yet only started 13 games in the league.
If Suarez who is paid lower than Rooney can show a consistency performance then why can't Rooney does the similar thing.
Aguero who has been injured more than Rooney and only started 16 games in the league and yet they have the same goals (15 goals) while Rooney has 26 playing times as a starter.
I imagine that was what he was told to do. He's not THAT stupid.
So you think that Moyes and c.o. told him 'When you've got acres of free space in front of you, you're on 20th yard in front of goal, do a cross field pass' ?
I believe that he was under instructions to get the ball out there when possible, yes.
He's fecking shit (sort of).
Miles below the likes of Suarez and Aguero. His contract is just another item on the growing list of damages inflicted by that joke of a manager.

Every player asks for a wage everytime they sign a new contract do they not? If he wants away he goes away does he not?
Not every player gets a new contract every couple of seasons
Was yesterday typical Rooney or was that evidence of someone not playing for a manager who has lost the dressing room?
It was one of many poor performances for a manager who has bent over backwards for him. He's also had lots of good ones.
Maybe my view of it is exaggerated but yesterday seemed like the complete worst of Rooney. His every touch was just awful.
I agree Moyes has bent over backwards for him but does that mean he has to be happy with the coaching? Maybe I'm just looking for excuses for such an abject performance.

Yes. Signing the contract means he has to be happy with whatever Moyes tells him to do
It's Rooney, he doesn't have to do anything. He got the contract and now he can go back to not giving a shit again.
It really is incredible how he has managed to make himself undroppable yet again.
If anyone likes Moyes in our team, it's Rooney.
Don't really get why people are discussing his performance still, it's quite obvious that he is injured and far from being match fit. It's nothing to do with lack of effort.
We should have flogged him at the beginning of the season. He is not the world class player this country portrays him to be. I do not want him near the captaincy, he is not captain material.
When you say couple, you mean 4 years right? In which case, I think you will find they do.
Not scored against the top four this season apart from an insignificant goal in that 4-1 loss vs City. Was shite against Bayern in either leg and is the worst player to bear the title World Class.
He will only get worse and is no longer a big game player.

Rooney remains a brilliant but undisciplined footballer. He wanders all over the pitch, which has a cascade effect on everyone else. When he sticks to the task at hand rather than trying to be a one man squad he can be astonishing. But he doesn't stick to the task very often.
Others have made this observation, which is obvious enough, here many times.

Been among the best of a bad bunch this season. Even so, he should go into the new era with a clean slate.
If you were to judge RvP on this season's performances you wouldn't say he was much cop either.
Let's see what the next guy can get out of him.

If Rooney delivers more performances like the ones against Bayern and Everton he is finished under van Gaal.

I wonder what his reaction will be to a new manager. If we do get one of the names that's been bandied around, they're far less likely to bend over to Rooney's demands than Moyes was.

Van Gaal fancy RVP.
Thanks for the hard work Moyes. Good luck and all the best for you in future.
Will be very interested to see what happens with Rooney if Van Gaal takes over. Rooney works very hard and is versatile which should count in his favour. But LVG wont pander to him, if RVP and Rooney cannot work together he wont duck the difficult decision and you have to assume RVP would come out of that one on top. I think itll work out, LVG will find a way to get the best out of both of them, but he wont be afraid to tell him he has to play in midfield or on the wing or whatever, or drop him if he doesnt like it.
So having been given his nice shiny new £300,000 p.w contract that he clearly doesn't deserve, or warrant. He's now going out on the piss and turning up to training 'worse for wear', something he already has history for.It was clear that Fergie was absolutely right to want him out of the club. But instead, Moyes let him bend us over backwards.
His performances this season have also been wildly overstated, he's been as bad as everyone else for months, but no one has batted an eyelid.

I'm starting to think we need someone like Van Gaal who won't be scared to make tough and unpopular decisions.
Me too. Before Moyes was actually sacked I wasn't hugely keen on the idea of LVG. But the more I think about it, now it's actually on the cards, the more I'm warming to it. It feels like a perfect fit to be fair. And if it goes pear shaped, what the hell, it'll be a great ride. But more than anything some of these players need their heads banging together, LVG is the man to do that. Last time round I wanted Ancelotti but now I'm starting to think he might be too soft. I want the players cowering with fear, playing for their lives.
