Jesus christ mate, he's not Messi and Ronaldo level for a start, and this is the premier league. No one scores 50 goals. He's a 25-30 goals player on top form.

Ffs, it 50+ goals and assists combined I'm asking for, is that really to much?
Your right he ain't as good as them so why are we paying him that amount of money? I rather we get rid and get Messi or Ronaldo, I'd take Suarez over him too. At the end of this year if he's not up to scratch and Falcao does well, I'd be happy to replace him with Falcao for good.

How many players in the last 10 years or so have got 50 goals + assists aside from Messi or Ronaldo? Not many, that's for sure.

So, yes you're asking too much especially given the amount of chances we create nowadays.

Seems like he's deceived you all into believing that, 'you get what you pay for', in Rooneys case it the opposite, he used to be good but he's declining. Seriously standards have dropped here and it seems were clutching on anything we can but what I don't understand is that what people don't realise after the summer we've had we don't need to anymore

Best outfield player last season. Best player this pre season. But yeah, a couple of poor games when the whole team is shit and he is on the decline. :lol: :wenger:

WUM? If not, worst post ever?

I'm not a WUM, I've watched Rooney ever since he's been here but now he's not as good as he used to be, how hard is that to accept, he does deserve what he gets, I can say a lot but can't be bothered.
Just because my opinion differs from yours doesn't make me a WUM, these forum are open to debate and feel free to do so
 
why are people ignoring teh fact that Sterling, Sturridge, Welbeck is a better front 3 than the one who played yesterday??

I really have no idea what the feck you are are talking about. You're expecting a Ronaldo/Messi level output which is beyond ridiculous.

The hypothesis behind that post I quoted is ludicrous beyond belief!

Yorke, Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo did it only. And only once.

Best outfield player Hahaha, how many times have I heard that Lol, what position did we finish? Oh yeah 7th or something like that, if that's what we can achieve with WC Rooney then God help us.

The whole team being average is no excuse for Wayne Rooney to join them. This mentality is growing largely amongst United fans and its beyond a joke. Its not hard to shine in an average team is how you should judge one of the highest paid players in the league. Not come up with excuses. Heard enough of those for Kagawa, Nani, Mata and co.......
 
Rooney was decent yesterday but you can't help but feel England would be stronger with a diamond with Sterling at the tip and Sturridge/Welbz as the front two. He slows the game down, especially against better opponents.

Why because its Rooney, its okay not to.
This is exactly it when it concerns Rooney apologist, hes labeled as a WC player but when compared to some you all go 'you can't expect that from him' etc etc and say but his work ethic and he tracks back, 'do you see other WC player tracking back'. Excuses

The funny part is i think people felt relieved at that decent performance b/c they don't have discuss the fact that he isn't part of england's best front 3. And since ENgland won't face stiff competition from here on until the finals, they can hold it(discussion) off until then.

Seriously, what is your point? That Rooney isn't as good as Messi/Ronaldo? Well, that's me blown away

If you go back to my first post I'm talking in regards to him being compared to Welbeck and Bony and say that he shouldnt be compared to the likes of them but other WC players like Messi and Ronaldo as he is in their wage bracket. He is amongst the best paid players in the world compare him to them and he falls short. Another point I argued was about some poster saying would we not just be happy if Rooney found consistency in his game to which I said I expect a hell of a lot more than just consistency.

I genuinely think England's best hope at producing decent performances at Euro 2016 is an injury to Rooney before the tournament as harsh as it sounds. He is the last remaining member of that overrated technically deficient, spoilt golden generation. That said, yesterday was decent from Rooney.. had abit of bite to his game but by no means is that a 300k a week performance and can he produce performances of that level week in week out?

I really hope I'm wrong about criticising him and he has his best season, he used to be one of my favourite players... but at the moment he is a shadow of what he once was, but when you see some of the goals he scored in pre-season, I don't think we can write him off entirely.. I'd give him this season to prove himself before I definitely think of him as over the hill.

Do you know how much Ronaldo and Messi are on?

Do you even know how much Rooney is on?

And why do you even care? I couldn't give a flying feck how much he's on. Same with Young or Nani or RVP or now Falcao.

True, but there's still space for Rooney behind those three IMO. Seeing as the Englamd midfield is pretty poor, a front 3 of the players you mentioned with Rooney dropping to the tip of a midfield three could be an option.

So, you don't actually know anything about what you are taking about and yet persist with your bs.

lol indeed.

Easy to say it like that isn't to suit your defending of him, he's an average player whose getting paid well over the odds.

What's Ronaldo's wage?

From Forbes' list of the best paid players in the world, as of July 2014:

Ronaldo:

Earnings: $73 million
Salary: $49 million
Endorsements: $24 million
Major Sponsors: Nike, Samsung, Tag Heuer, Fly Emirates, Herbalife

Messi:

Earnings: $65 million
Salary: $42 million
Endorsements: $23 million
Major Sponsors: Adidas, Samsung, Pepsi, Turkish Airlines, Herbalife

Ibrahimovic:

Earnings: $34 million
Salary: $30 million
Endorsements: $4 million
Major Sponsors: Nike, Volvo

Neymar:

Earnings: $28 million
Salary: $12 million
Endorsements: $16 million
Major Sponsors: Nike, Castrol, Panasonic, L'Oreal, Volkswagen

Bale:

Earnings: $24 million
Salary: $15 million
Endorsements: $9 million
Major Sponsors: Adidas, EA Sports, Lucozade

Rooney:

Earnings: $22 million
Salary: $18 million
Endorsements: $4 million
Major Sponsors: Nike, Samsung, Harper Collins

Aguero:

Earnings: $21 million
Salary: $17 million
Endorsements: $4 million
Major Sponsors: Puma, Pepsi, Gillette

Toure:

Earnings: $21 million
Salary: $18 million
Endorsements: $3 million
Major Sponsor: Puma

Torres:

Earnings: $20 million
Salary: $17 million
Endorsements: $3 million
Major Sponsors: Adidas, Pepsi

So if Forbes are to be believed, Rooney doesn't earn *anything like* what Messi and Ronaldo do in terms of basic salary or even endorsements, and is actually closer to the Toure/Aguero/Torres/Bale level.

Except I haven't defended him at all. Just pointing out that you are chatting shite despite having no clue what any of them earn

Personally - and you can call me petty if you like - I can't wait to see him retire from England. Let Wilshere/Sterling/Sturridge have to put up with all the 'build them up to knock them down' shite that is flung at all of the better England players without fail.
Click to expand...

Yeah that is the thing. People are talking about how wonderful England would be once Rooney is dropped or retires from England. But, when that happens the knives will be directed at the likes of Sterling, Barkley, Sturridge,etc. It is like that Corn Harvest episode of South Park.
