Should have probably ended with "So I hope Wayne gets more playing time at my expense"

Are we sure he wasn't being sarcastic?
1 goal contribution in every 2 appearances for Rooney in his worst season. Vintage Wayne.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. Fellow professionals will always say stuff like that. Didn't Yaya Toure call Rooney amongst his top 5 players in the world a few months ago?
Hes done at top level football.
Except, he isn't really.
He is
He very well should be, just at MUFC he isnt and thats purely for marketing purposes at this point.
But whatever, even Real let Raul play a season or two past his expired date.
If you put him up for sale and removed wages from equation I think in all honestly Wayne would be looking at Newcastle level clubs putting an offer in
Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at Everton
Top level? He's done
The most important week of his captaincy. If ever we needed him to lead by example, this is it
Thinking the same. We Wayne to step up to the plate. C'mon Rooney!
Has to step up. Especially with Martial out.
Don't know where to put this, but watching Spurs vs So'ton this weekend, the co-commentator was going on about Harry Kane and how England are spoilt for choice up front, how Roy Hodgson will have difficulty picking a front line from the list of names - Kane, Vardy, Welbeck, Sturridge, even Carroll. It was only about a minute later that he remembered to add "and then he has his captain, Wayne Rooney, to consider". It was an afterthought and there was a sense that the commentator had forgotten about Rooney, and it's a feeling I think a lot of England fans might have this summer. He's got to be in the squad and then he's got to play as a consequence of his status (tbf he scored a lot of goals in qualifying), but Vardy and Kane would probably be a better pairing for the team.
Rooney has invited the nation's top football writers to dinner this week at his own behest btw, something he feels is part of his "England captain duties" apparently, and no doubt there won't be too much focus on Rooney's place in the team as the tournament approaches.

While I agree that he should be on the plane as the captain, he should not be considered as a definite starter. England have a poor record on the international stage and this Euros might be their best chance to redeem themselves cos France, Germany, Belgium, Italy etc have their teams sorted for the future. Playing the best players and the form players will be the best for England now.
West Ham 3:2 Man Utd
He tries to make every pass a Hollywood show piece, the way he tries to stroke the ball so it looks great. It's so fecking annoying.
We spent 25 minutes under constant attack and the first time we have the ball for more than 5 seconds he tries a stupid shot from 30 yards and gives up possession for nothing.
He's not a midfielder, stop trying to shoehorn him into the fecking team.

I thought he was finished as a top player a couple of years ago but Moyes gave him a golden parachute and he has now effectively become the albatross around our necks.
I swear if I see that stupid fecking long pass out the right one more time...
Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Don't mention £300k a week. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. Ball to wing. 
Fecking sick of him.
Another floated pass out wide results in an interception, ending the attack. Almost forgot - overpaid.
Apparently (according to the match thread) because he keeps dropping and asking for the ball, he's playing well.
but he's studied Scholes
He's making us tick according to Sky's commentary. They also praised him getting a foot in and failed to notice the following:
A) How his bad touch caused the need for a foot in
B) How he lost the challenge he put a foot in for
C) How West Ham then went up the other end to score
That all said and noted, he's had some decent passes in this half tbf.
pretty sick of his shit.
He obviously watched scholes closely but not close enough to realise that he picked his moments. Same fecking pass time and time again.

Well he's got nothing ahead of him other than Rashford who has looked like an 18 year old.
He's an embarrassment
Yes that's the reason he's been shit. Other people's fault.
He should patent that right floated pass to Valencia.
Yeah, I'll say it again, if him in CM is a long term plan, we're fecking doomed.
Yes that's what I said.
Thinks he's prime Iniests floating passes around the pitch. Absolute shite
Not a midfielder. Not good enough to be a striker. Undroppable.
Yeah, I'll say it again, if him in CM is a long term plan, we're fecking doomed.
him anywhere near the first team, we're fecking doomed.
Shite, takes him 5x longer to hit cross field passes than Scholes. FB picks it out almost every time.
I love how lumping the ball out to the wing is considered pulling the strings and dictating the play, it's so obvious what he's going to do that West Ham are not even bothering to close him down now.
Sums up Manchester United really. Past it, over-rated and boring/predictable as hell to watch.
Just wtf?! How many passes floated out to the wide players has he fecking done? It's like it's all he can do. Does he think by doing it he'll be the next Scholes?
However, he did put in a great ball to Rashford who ducked ffs.

Everyone is sick of that pass wide he continually does. At the same time when he's mixed things up a bit he's been behind some of our better moments.
He's put in the two most dangerous balls of the game and hit 2 or 3 nice quick passes into the wingers. Nobody else has done as much to create something.

I guess if you put it that way, they are only £150,000 each, which doesn't sound quite as bad.
Been involved which makes him better than the other two in midfield. That pass out wide though, it's all he wants to do.
Don't think he's passed it to Rashford once all half.
