What can we do about that problem? Would Bayern take 50 millions and him for Müller?

Hm... Erm... No they aren't really.
because it is that easy?
He dropped van Bommel at Bayern and got rid of him. If Rooney continues like that he will be dropped, but he will give him some games before that.
Which actually makes me consider the fact there is some sort of clause in his contract. He gets away with murder when every other player is met with ruthlessness despite big names, relationships or even captaincy as has been shown in the past when he dropped Van Bommel.
Oh my..this is a player perfomance thread..where players perfomances are dissected..even Bobby Charlton moved on when the time was up..Gary Neville himself told Fergie that it was time up..
He was appalling tonight. I don't think I've ever criticised Rooney on here but that was dreadful. If we stick as him as our primary / main striker this season, we are in big trouble.
It's true that he's a notoriously slow starter, but it looks more than that. He looks to have lost so much of his pace and even his overall play and movement are piss poor at the minute. I'm worried. It's also worrying that LvG blatantly won't sub him off.

To be honest, I do not mind him staying up front if he would not mess up building up the attacks.
Everything he tried did not work, his touch was non-existent, his passing inaccurate, his positioning suspect and his demeanour uninspiring.
He needs to find his feet soon or I think he is going to be permanently dropped.

Fan boy? I can see you don't care and many others don't care about what he has done and will continue to do so as we as a club don't embrace our traditions, do we?
Not necessarily at the top level but it isn't working for us at the moment.
There is no defence for that tonight. Fail to see how anyone can rationally defend that.
He's supposed to be our captain....Lead by example. If that's the example then....
You're only as good as your last match. Ronaldo and Messi have amazing stats but, if they go a few games without producing the goods, the screw is turned on them. Why is Rooney any different?!
Correct me if I'm wrong but, he hasn't scored since March.....

Of course does. He's playing crap.
You don't excuse poor performances because of what someone has done in the past.
Of course he will be our top goal scorer this season, he's the only striker who's going to play every week! His lack of goals will be what holds us back. He won't get 15 in the league.
Meanwhile in London...
Radamel Falcao is rewatching the game tape, studying what was, for him, a marvelous centre forward performance from Wayne Rooney.

Will he though? He seems to be undroppable after being made captain.
Drop him, it has to be done. Might be the kick up the arse he needs.
So that means they aren't a big club? What planet are you from? I seriously mean that!
On this he won't beat Sir Bobby's record, and that might be for this best tbh.
What are you talking about? How does what he has done have anything to do with what he will do? His declining game is clear as day.
Falcao looks like that for Colombia too..I think we have just had the unfortunate experience of having three over the hill strikers on our books for massive wages..We need to solve this soon.
What do you mean?
You've a sense of reality. Some of his fans live in another world. That guy Major Tom is hilarious.
Its mental that we sold Van Persie yet keep playing Rooney, RvP was much more talented on so many levels and at least linked up play better too
So, let's see, is the English league the biggest league in the world? Let's name the biggest clubs in England.......
Of course all this is going off tandem but just proves what is and what was considered a great player/club.
WTF?? - stats at the top says he got an assist for the Spurs game 
I'd kill for a Lewandowski up front.
Tonight's the first time I've truly thought "he's finished". Looks like SAF may have been absolutely correct to try and sell him two years ago. Hopefully he can prove us all wrong.
I'm one to try and defend everyone. But Wayne Rooney tonight was dog shit
Yeah great thinking. Lets keep playing a heavily under performing player out of respect for what he has done. Genius. Let's re sign up Cantona
Very poor performance from Rooney. We need some competition for his position to keep him sharp.
I see, thanks for the info. How long did it take for Van Bommel to get dropped? Hopefully our general performances will pick up to cover for any potential slack from Rooney in the meanwhile...
Thought exactly the same today.
His concentration needs to improve, offside so many times and a fraction late when controlling a pass or making a run too often. Van Gaal was ruthless with Falcao and RVP and needs to be the same with Rooney.
We will see who is our top scorer and the end of the season and our record scorer in our entire history. But go ahead, call him all the names under the sun and show just how much you embrace our club and players. Rock on Tommy.
Again you're talking about something no one is denying but currently in terms of performances, history means feck all. What Rooney and Liverpool did in the past means feck all.
Silent domination....
Havent watched the game but why are you lot so surprised, he's been average at best for months, and that's being very generous. Looks like it was another showing that the 20 goals expectations came from total delusion.

Oh I have no doubt he will.
in 2011 Van Gaal kicked Mark Van Bommel, his captain at the time, out of Bayern Munich halfway through the season after he fell out with him. Last year he openly told RvP and Falcao that they were shit and not impacting the game enough.
if Rooney goes a few more games like this, I'm sure Van Gaal will start changing things.
Do you think he played well tonight?
Yeah, I'm not sure what is he on about.
BBC saying his one and only touch in the penalty area came in stoppage time, when he blootered that through-ball out for a throw-in.
Shambolic.
Shambolic.
To be fair as already posted, SAF called this 2 years ago. And his real proper decline started last season, where he was pretty ineffectual, touch and passing especialy
Only thing that saves his some race are those long balls to Valencia that commentators oooo and aaa over. Whats also funny is commentators never slate him when he makes mistakes, must be some injunction to criticize him or something
