Just sold him in my current FM save for £33m to PSG in summer of 2017! he was rubbish and only scord 3goals all season.

Fans did not rebel either as Lukaku and Memphis score goals in buckets for fun!
 
He ran a lot against Chelsea, I consider it a massive improvement. Alright, it was Terry the snail marking him but at least he looked busy.
MOTM was a bit over the top, this notion he has to be coaxed back to form by friends in the media is not helping him. Come the euros in this form the nation will crucify him.
how the standards have fallen...
 
He's scored 6 league goals in 2015.

Costing Utd £2.6m per goal. Staggering.

Worst captain of all time & should be axed as soon as humanly possible.
 
Don't know if anyone heard what Carragher said after the 2015 review, said if Kane keeps playing as he us with his 27 goals this year Roy will have a big decision on his hands for the euros, I mean fecking hell!
 
I wonder what he himself thinks of his performances. Surely he must have some personal ambition?
 
Unless we're just waiting to find out and announce pep is joining us in the summer, this is the biggest screw up in the clubs history and we even had the Moyes era to show us what not to do, absolutely mind blowing!
 
The on,y reason whe will go to the Euros is because Daniel Sturridge will probably be injured.
 
He shouldn't even be in the England squad.

Kane, Vardy, Walcott + Sturridge if fit should be the four.

Considering England only play one upfront I'd possibily not even bother with 4

'300k quid lol'

:lol:

I would love to say that Rooney has his pride, and would like go away with that intact and play at a lower level somewhere, but I get the feeling that he knows we're not littered with quality, and the club wants to maintain it's image/standing/marketability, and feels he can find a way to stay relevant for a good while yet.
 
I suspect the press and media won't make much of his performances for the remainder of the season but once the Euros are over unless England win it they will turn on him (and Hodgson and question why he was starting anyway) and I think we'll sign a new striker and Rooney will have a think about the rest of his career. I can see him going abroad after the summer.
 
Isn't he going to play as a second striker/playmaker for England? And Barkley will be the one to be dropped.
I can't imagine that Roy will have the balls to drop him, until maybe the last group game.
 
It fecking irritates me that this guy can do no wrong in the eyes of former club and international team mates, or any of the pundits for that matter.

And a captain? What the shit is this all about? He has one of the worst attitudes on the pitch! He will throw a tantrum after every decision, is always mouthing off to the referee and his discipline is still shocking.

In fact, he should have been sent off against Chelsea, was sent of against West Ham last year, and wasn't there also another incident last year when he could have walked (Swansea seems to be the team that comes to mind). Not bad for someone that has cut out that side of his game...
 
For me, I look foward to see way Roy does. It will be a sad day if Roy can show he has more bollicks than LVG with regards to Rooney.
 
Hodgson will find a way to include Wayne because:

* The fallout resulting from England doing badly, and Wayne not being given a final hurrah, would be England-career-suicide for Hodgson once the press scare the FA into action. And...
* Roy, like so many at United, is still dazzled by Rooney's past exploits, name and reputation. And the FA don't employ innovative thinkers as England managers, only ambassadorial types; so, Rooney goes to the Euros at the expense of expendable lesser names from lesser clubs (like Vardy, for instance).
 
One of the best decisions in football was Aragones deciding to leave Raul out of the Euro 2008 squad for Spain. Taking a young Villa and Torres was a masterstroke!

Raul wasnt even as bad as Rooney is now.

To be fair, England have much better options up front than we do.
 
If Rooney is as bad in the second half of the season and Welbeck, Walcott, Vardy are fit and in good form come May, it won't be easy for Hodgson...
 
Honestly, the only way I can envision Wayne being excluded is if his form is utterly dire, if his rivals continue to thrive, and if the press push extremely strongly for his exclusion.
 
Six league goals in a full calender year. That is pretty amazing. Has any regular striker for us had a worse record recently?
What was Coles scoring rate when he came first and was getting criticism?
 
It's unbelievable that, in offering up that massive contract, neither Moyes nor Woodward stopped to think why Alex Ferguson was so keen to offload Rooney. He has been and continues to be a symbol of United - from bright promise in 2005-2006 to glory in 2008 to good but not quite as good as might have been expected post-Moscow to living out on past glories at extravagant expense.

We were sliding on the table. The club was keen to make a statement.

They certainly managed that - "our wealth greatly exceeds our knowledge of football". Various A list footballers took note for when they needed some leverage in negotiating a new contract with their club.
 
Rooney you have had alot of good years and can see back on a very good career with alot of titles, but the end has come now.
You are shi*te and frankly we don't want you at our Club anymore so could you please just go and grab the last big paycheck in China or USA so we don't have to pay a wage you don't deserve anymore? That would be a big gift to all of Manchester United's fan base.

24 goals in his first 18 months. We had higher standards then mind you.
