he's done a falcao, basically.
tries to give it his all but nothing is working out, constantly makes poor decisions in attack.

I f'n hate the agenda of the press who will talk about dropping Rooney back-firing and it being a failed experiment, even the BBC are going with it in their match report. 2 league goals in nearly half a season is what they should be focusing on.
Thought he was pure shite as per the norm.
Ran around little bit more, but spent most of his time whinging to the ref and shouting at Stoke players.

he looked a lot better today, probably due to the fact philiosophy went out the window
Thought he did alright today. Created a couple of clear cut chances that we should have scored from. fecked up an attack when he took a bad touch which forced him to pass it to Mata, but still thought he did well. Looked like the only one who actually tried today.
he looked like he tried in the opening minutes of the game but when you watched Kane today you could see he tried much more, chasing the ball in the 90th minutes etc.. than fresh Rooney all season, that alone deserves him to terminated the contract with us let alone his actual zero ability and the fecking wages we would pay another 5+ better players, hes not a premier league player anymore, it took one and a half year to Van Gaal to bench him, the ridiculous old man deserves being sacked and I cant wait for that..
silly observation but he's at the age where the gerbil cheeks have arrived.
In terms of a pure physical comment - he's going to balloon when he stops playing. He's already a fat git as far as footballers go and I can only imagine what weight he'll be when he retires.
Also fecking hate how gobby he is. Genuinely wanted the ref to send the cnut off with the amount of grief he was giving him.
I'm unapologetic - I do have an agenda against him. He's shite, paid too much and an absolute embarrassment to this great club.

He could be in better physical condition though, it's not all down to genetics and bad genes. Ronaldo doesn't naturally have the body he does, he works for it and is disciplined on and off the field. Schweinsteiger is older than Rooney too and he is constantly bombing up and down the field. He's just a lazy git, he'll do a fat Ronaldo eventually.
This. The people praising him for passion and effort should go work with John Barnes where they can come up with piss poor punditry like "Rooney is showing all the right attitude by warning up with the team"I like it when he's fired up - maybe Mourinho will be able to rejuvenate him?
I doubt it though, he doesn't look capable.

word
I have limited/no knowledge of how football contracts work, but is there any way we can just terminate his contract, even if it means paying compensation? (though I know it's not going to happen, even if it's possible)
Has he invented a time machine?
I'm not sure, has he?
That image that showed his goals over the 500 games really tells the story.
That's not luck or formations or tactics. He's passed his peak and his career is winding down. Fergie could see it coming.

He'll need to if he wants a rejuvenated Rooney back.

Couldn't be any clearer really.
The only people who don't see it are the ones refusing to see what they're seeing in front of their eyes.

The worst of it is we could see another 50 appearances (at least), and I'm pretty sure we'll see less than 18 in those.
On the plus side, Wayne Rooney is 100/1 to win the WWE Royal Rumble next month. Get your bets in.

We pay out the remaining the £45m that we owe him over the next 3 years.
Yup, this annoys me more than anything. He's been worse than useless for nigh on a season and the press ask why he was dropped... maybe because he's shite? But no, they refuse to see it!
Maybe the WWE will sign him from us.
Deal!
It is one of the most annoying things about today. And honestly it works to the detriment of the managers. There is no way Hodgson can keep him out of the team as it would be a media circus. He can make his little comments or veiled threats in the press but he will start him at the Euros. He has been woeful all season yet they fully back him. It's bizarre.
His England record is better currently in the last few years than when it was during his prime. He has been poor for us this season but he's still been useful to England, tbf.
Ashley young tried too, he was motm for me.
Im not sure if that ever happened before, only if player misconducted but rooney seems "fine" in that manner but I guess there is no clause which would guarantee to terminated contract without any penalty, it almost seems like its the other way round
Yeah I doubt there is any exit clauses for us. Why the hell did we give him such a contract that even grooms him to become an ambassador when he is done? Lionel freaking Messi doesnt have a contract like that yet we gave it to Rooney??
Also shame on Rooney. He is what, 15 or so goals away from the United goals record, And couldnt put a decent season together? Before anyone says he is too old, Thierry was around this age when he was at Barcelona and even though he wasnt the Arsenal Henry, he was still an above average player.
LVG banked on him and it backfired massively.
Penalties against San Marino etc?
England's qualifying group was very easy to be honest, he was always going to bag a few goals in that group but he still needed a few penalties to get over the record.
I hate the media narrative around him.
In LvG's interview after the game they started quizzing him about Rooney and if it was a tactical decision that backfired etc.
It's just so lazy - you dropped your captain, you lost the match, therefore poor decision. Ignoring that he's been playing like a hippo on diazepam all season.

It feels like the commercial deals need to fall through before the media will actually come out and criticise him. It's a conflict of interest for most of the media.
It irritates me that he seems to take next to no criticism from pundits and former players. I saw a headline about Dwight Yorke claiming LvG was wrong to drop Rooney... what a load of shit.
He was the main reason we tanked in WC 2014.
Yep, otherwise it would be trophies galore as it was with England NT before Rooney.
Its not about trophies. Its about at least being competitive in your games.
We were decent against Italy but the fat cnut couldn't stand not being centre of attention and sabotaged us on the left wing. . Refusing to track back and was shite in general bar the assist.
He's hindering club and country.
A big part of that was Sterling playing as no.10 against Italy and played really well, next game Rooneh moved back in the middle
Agree with the club part, but England is average with him up-front or without him, there's no difference whatsoever.
Nah, I'd say poor tactics and poor personnel in midfield were the main reason. Past it Gerrard and Henderson in midfield were nowhere near good enough to compete. Rooney was better against Uruguay than Sterling was against Italy. Sterling was poor against Uruguay in the same way Rooney was poor against Italy on the wing. One player however scored or assisted both of England's goals at the World Cup yet is blamed for the whole team failing.
