Not what was said at all.

You agreed it would be a travesty for Rooney to break the goal scoring record and would find it even more frustrating if he did it through shit goals. I honestly don't care about the record and don't see how any United player scoring goals- especially the way we're playing atm- could be a 'travesty' or 'frustrating'. I'd much rather just see us getting on the score sheet, even if it means Rooney breaking Sir Bobby's record with his arse.
 
To be fair, as much as I agree, I wouldn't be half as bad if he was playing well when he broke it.

It's more frustrating to think he might end up crossing the line purely from penalties, 3 yard headers and deflections off his arse (all while playing shite for 89 minutes).
he crawled to the England record including penalties against shit teams
 
Robbie Keane
How is he the odd one out? His career is easily better than Giovinco's and he was consistently as good if not a better goal scorer than Anelka. He even continues to be successful compared to Anelka who has done feck all in the last 5 years. His international record is also miles better than Anelka.
 


Anyone else find it weird that our captain isn't even there to cheer the lads on? It's a 2 hour flight and it's not like he's hospital bound...
 
Absolutely. It feels a lot like when we let Falcao go, I was never for a second worried that he'd go and prove us wrong. He was clearly finished.

I remember reading many fans stating that Falcao would go to Chelsea and immediately become the best striker in the league.
Apparently LVG was the one who was preventing him from scoring goals (or staying on his feet).
To me, it was obvious that he was "done". I see Rooney and last year's Falcao and he will will be sold in the Summer.
 
He had 1 in a world cup semi in the year he won the Balon d'or though.

But you are right, record is record, no matter how you get there.

Glad he got the England one, but I can't see him getting the United one, as at his current rate he'll have to stay a regular until a couple of seasons time. Which is pretty optimistic
Don't overly want to get to a Beckham-esque mode, where he's wheeled out for pens or against Exeter in the league cup to help hype it up

he wont get it this season,but can see him getting it next season if he stays...just 13 goals...already has 7 this season.
 
He was a 34/35 y.o playing in the MLS, and I think a lot of England fans would have preferred someone younger. In the end, playing Beckham didnt really reap much dividends for England.
Playing other young players like Joe Cole, Bentley and Downing didn't reap much dividends either. Beckham showed on during his loan spells he was still better than them.
 
Not having a go at him. Would be stupid considering he did not play. But we have created more chances in the last two games than we have in many weeks put together.
Even though we didn't get the results we wanted in both games,I think the attackers have shown enough for Rooney not to walk back into the team.
But I'm not holding my breath.

I agree.

Flying is generally not so good for injuries. He will recover far better at home.
 
It could actually be an interesting move for Wayne, if these tabloid rumours are true with the Chinese Super League and Sven. Of course, the money mentioned is obscene, so nothing new on that front, but do any of the "reports" mention a price, cause all I see are potential wages...

Tbf, I'm sure quite a few of us on here would be happy if United paid them to take Rooney off our hands.
 
If we wanted Rooney to leave, I don't think we would ask a team prepared to takes his wages on, for a transfer fee.
 
Maybe so. But would you not have thought differently before this season started? Not that he'd fetch 20m + but a fee nonetheless. This season may have changed all that. The quickest regression in the history of football.
 
RI seem convinced about him not being missing through injury...
 
It's speculative, and it's not anyone on this forum saying it....

But.....

It's very strange how RI are digging their heels in over this

Personally, him at the Everton game and the whole "gimmie the armband" is/was enough to wash my hands off him but, this whole thing is quite strange. There are lads on GOT(Everton forum) saying they saw him on Monday and he wasn't one bit injured...
