What's suspicious about all this is that no one is even trying to make news about it, even if there isn't much to write about. Just "Is Rooney dropped or injured" headline would cause lots of reactions but from what I have seen everyone is quiet about it, except fan boards. Probably just shows how pretty much everyone in medie is up his arse, probably because he is paying lot of money to them to keep things quiet if it isn't in his favour. Weirdest thing of all is that no one even mentioned him in last press conference, not even van Gaal.

I mean, there are reports that Manchester United captain was drunk/hangover(?) on Manchester United training and no one even asks anything about it, really?

Not a single journo asked for update on his injury. LVG is probably relieved at he isn't a topic of discussion.

:lol:

Remarkable conclusion to draw!

Anything remotely positive about Rooney in the media = Media are up his arse.
Negative news in the media about Rooney = Must be true! Rooney is the wurst!
No news in the media = OMG! Rooney must have paid them off!

You don't think it's suspicious they don't ask about their/your beloved Wayne showing drunk on training during our CL exit after they ask pointless questions about him every time?
 
given December off, chills out at Goodison Park, we crash out of champions league and the captain hasn't had to face any of the shitstorm whatsoever. the boy's done well

"Beloved". Yeah mate, it's the media's fault and fault of the tiny majority of United supporters for not putting much stock in news until it's been reported by people who are not a bunch of complete cnuts. Instead, what we should do is assume the worst and criticize Rooney and the media for not being complete bellends like some on this forum.

Ignorant answer as always from you on this forum.

You actually think it's realistic to believe that Rooney is paying off every journalist that attend our pressers? It's really suspicious that only fan boards believe a bunch of retards on Twitter. The media should obviously write and base their articles on those rumours.

Instead of replying to my points you have twice resorted to mundane nonsense.

What points?

I only made one conclusion out of three you said I did in your first post, which was fairly accurate. I didn't even say I believe those reports.

Of course it's shocking that no one asked about him showing drunk when they are asking ridiculous questions about him all the time. When you have United press conference without any Wayne Rooney question it's weird, let alone when there are reports of him being dropped.

Not every, but there is lot of his pals in media. And I was talking about media in general, not just those who attend our press conference, I can't blame them all because they mostly have just one question to ask, few of them don't even get to ask single question, right?

Actually, that's the very reason I think it's bs. If there was anything true to it the media would have got stuck into Rooney. You need to look at past behavior to see that the media love sticking into star players who have personal issues off the pitch. Rooney is a prime example of this in the past as well. The idea that Rooney is paying off people is just ridiculous.

The key word there is "past". They blamed him for everything in the past, I agree, however majority of them refuse to criticise him in last few years at all, even this year when he is one of our worst players.
 
I don't give a shit if he's injured or dropped, I'm just happy he's not playing. You should enjoy it while it lasts.

I've lost count of the number of Rooney is past it articles I've read in the last few months. People love to point out the more positive reviews which help in painting this image of Rooney as someone who controls the media. Rooney, like Beckham before him, has been subject to as much criticism as praise by the English media.

I know some have criticised him, but lot of them still refuse to do it at all, and not just that, but they actually write same old rubbish that's quite embarrasing for kids in school to write, not even his fanboys here would agree with that, but yet people who work for big newspapers who have massive influence on football fans' opinions write that.

No one called Beckham's professionalism into account. That's because he gave them no reason too.

Rooney's professionalism is shite.
 
Anyway, I was hoping he'd get a slight injury a few weeks back because I think he needs time off. I do believe he's in a steep decline, and isn't going to get out of it, but he's not as bad as he's shown in his last few games.

I also think LvG has been consciously trying to drop him all season (when it became apparent how bad his decline was). But he can't just drop him. He had to play him and let everyone see how poor he was, otherwise he'd have been ripped to pieces by supporters and media alike. Rooney in this form (decline) represents a massive problem. Will have to be moved on, but I have no clue how or where.
 
if he comes back into the starting 11 without any competition I am going to switch my mind to wanting van gaal to be sacked ASAP. against wolfsburg and even in the 0-0 vs west ham our attack looked more functional without him.

didn't moyes get absolutely leathered here for doing something similar with van persie?

He got ridiculed because he admitted he didn't sub RvP off against Newcastle because he was afraid of the reaction from the fans.
 
Let's see if some of you have the balls to give him some love.. "We don't need him, he adds nothing to our squad and to our performances"..
 
Games without him this season:
2-1 loss vs PSV
3-2 loss vs Wolfsburg
3-1 win vs Liverpool
2-1 win vs Watford
0-0 draw vs West Ham
2-1 loss to Bournemouth

Clearly the problem goes a bit further then he's just past it doesn't it?
