Rooney

[roversdude]

Sad to see someone at end of their career going through the motions like he is

[mushRTID]

He's been terrible. Tottenham too quick and strong for him.

Scored though!!

[roversdude]

Think Mourinho has seen through him, hopefully Southgate has too

Today he is a waste of space granny shagging out of shape fcuk head.

About 3 terms back during the pre  season there was two photos in the papers ,one of Rooney on the beach shirtless and one of CR at Real Madrid on a different beach shirtless.

The difference in the two physical state of the two body's was unreal.

Basically Rooney looked like a overweight out of shape beach bum,while CR looked like the professional footballer that he is.

Twice Rooney held MUFC to transfer speculation in last 4 season a to make a bigger pay packet for himself ,utd should have fcuked him off.

When he lost his touch or class upfront he tried to set his stall out as a midfield player in a type of Paul scholes role ,and Moyes and that Dutch idiot fell for it and did not have strength to fcuk him off.

[rover-n-out]

Have to agree with the above comments, I thought he was absolutely bloody useless today.

[not on facebook]

He has been shite for last 3 seasons  maybe more.

I could see it.yoj could see it even Kermit the frog and miss piggy could see that Rooney has been shite for last few seasons.

But according to them idiots on match of the day or in other media no fcuker would say what we all could see

Iam sure all the tv football presenters turned a blind eye to the fall in Rooneys standards on the pitch when all the fans at man utd were wanting him out.

More words of wisdom

Rumours going round he lost £500,000 in on night at the blackjack and roulette tables

Les than two weeks wages, my heart bleeds for him

[DRNaith]

I think that's hardly news worthy. Multi-millionaire loses, who is guaranteed to earn millions more, loses half a million during a night out.

England "fell for it" after the Cup Final last year when Palace backed off him and let him have the ball for as long as he wanted. He could pick a pass out at will and suddenly - hey - this bloke can play this role

As we unanimously seeem to be saying on here - NO - he cant. He has one attribute that marks him as a Man Utd Midfielder and that is the ability to (lets be generous) "break up play"

I did see some of the Ajax performance v Lyon in the first leg and by god they looked very good and very energetic and I for one hope they win the Final (Chair emoji !!!)

[ballysbackin]

Leave the lad alone, he has done good and spends his money as he wants....George Best on booze. Gazza on booze. They were not looked after and if he gambles then perhaps someone should have looked after him. I am no lover of his club or him but I suppose it is just his turn for all this rubbish, if he wants to stay at United then give him some credit as China is full of Casinos and his habit would certainly get worse. Should he or Will he return to Everton for his swansong, I think it would be a mistake, let him play out his time and retire gracefully. Well that is my bit anyway

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

THing to remember on him is he in effect pushed himself very early on. Not many have a career at the top level for over 13-14 years and he has reached that point.  He hit fame at 17 and has played a huge amount of football hence he'll clearly decline a bit quicker.

[Donnywolf]

.... let him play out his time and retire gracefully.

I think he has played out his time - and hopefully he will retire gracefully taking his "Brand" with him

He had been playing shit for last 4 or 3 seasons week in week out.
It was not just one poor performance it was just about all the games had his form dipped by loads.but all the tv pundits would not say he was playing shit as they side stepped this fact .

When the Dutchman was manager and when JM first took over there was leaks  leaking out about whatever was so called wrong within the man utd squad and training camp ,in an attempt to de rail the manager. > Rooney and his agent,

Stupid fcuker lost shit loads of money in a Manchester casino 1/2 million £££ ??? > fact that he was sat on his own while doing so shows his state of mind and any club would do well to steer well clear of him.

[rover-n-out]

If my mental arithmetic is right, he's blown in 2 hours what is the equivalent to 20 years wages for some poor sod grafting away on 25 grand a year. Dunt bear thinking about does it.

Still, it's his dough!!

[not on facebook]

It's his money and I have no issues how he spends it .his lass Colleen might chew his ears off but that's upto her.

How can it be allowed that 1//2 million pounds can be spent Iam a Manchester casino in only 2hours ???

Thought there was things as beating limits set in place ,I mean you would struggle to piss that much away in vegas in that short time .

My guess Rooney had lost money but not that much.

[ballysbackin]

I can tell you that despair and depression run side by side and one of the tell tale signs are that people will go out and spend on their own, the fact that he was alone rings true.  In times of my depression in the past present and no doubt future I will spend what bit I have on absolutely anything absolutely anything it is just the way it is and those poor souls who commit suicide over money matters? well spend it or end it. I got the tee shirt. Do not mock it. It is not a good feeling. IN his case, his ability and fame have caused his problems.

NOF - You probably right but it would not sell papers if he had only losta few bob and nobody would have anything to write about and that includes us on here.

[acko]

lets not forget rooney holds the goalscoring record for england and man unt hes had a great career and made a few bob in the progress.i think it was obvious from the start of the season that marinho didnt fancy him as a main striker anymore,but dont forget ibromovitch is older than rooney but still scored the goals.As for losing 500 grand a)its his money.b)his earnings as been pointed out cover that c)what right as a casino got to inform the media of someone losses.And lets remember that the paper that carried the story was the SUN didnt they run a story that the Duke of Edinborough died two weeks ago,probably rooneys losses was no were near what they printed.

[ballysbackin]

Now...That is sensible....Well Done Acko

[not on facebook]

It allways seemed odd to me on how anyone is allowed to gamble 1/2 million quid away in 2hours in a Manchester casino .

The paper claims that he was on his own while doing so which is a far more disturbing thing if true ,as now I second guess what the or any paper prints on this story.

So absolute rubbish being spouted on here as usual. Comparing Ronald and Rooney's bodies is the most laughable. They clearly have very different genetics and body shapes. I would hazard a guess that Rooney could spend every hour in the gym and still never look like Ronaldo! Look at tony bellew for example and compare him to the physique of David haye. It's completely different.

Surprised at the hostility towards him by England fans really. He's had a great career, won every domestic and European trophy possible, become England's all time leading goal scorer, Utd's top goal scorer and played at the top from being 16 years of age. Yes, he's possibly not reached the heights we thought he would after Euro 2004 (he was unplayable in that tournament). Had he stayed fit then and not got injured in the quarter final I'm convinced England would have won that tournament

The problem for me with him is his total lack of connection with the fans on the terrace. In the world cup in South Africa, after the England team played like a Sunday league team who's been on the piss the night before, and he had the gall to bitch about england fans booing them.

It's f**k all for him to fly to South Africa in his pampered bubble, but some of those blokes will have been saving for years to go to watch England in the world cup.

"Nice to hear your own fans booing you"

More like it's nice to pay thousands of pounds to watch the national team play like that.

Didn't it also come out that some of the players had booked holidays before our final game was played there as well.

The point with the body's of Rooney and CR during the non season was that Rooney had let his slip so bad that he looked out of shape well at the exact same time CR still looked match fit > which then brings you to the mind set difference between the two players about their job.

[Belle_Vue]

For me it's like this, I don't like Manchester United.

But look at a few of their greats and can only admire them.
Look at the dedication, commitment and professionalism of the likes of Paul Scholes compared to Rooney.

Or again that annoying C. Ronaldo, you don't see them crawling out of pubs pissed up smoking.

Yeah they are human, they can do what they want. But at the same time their are professional sportsmen. They are at the very top of their game earning millions. They are role models to kids all over the world.

Just think if player such as Rooney, Wilshere, Ravel Morrison, Berhino had the professionalism of Ronaldo the National team would do better

Years ago players were on a certain wage for the playing season. Their wages dropped in the summer to maybe 50% so they got jobs during the summer. A lot came back carrying extra weight.
These days contracts are for 52 weeks a year, players have diet sheets etc. and are expected to report back reasonably fit.
Rooney didn't do himself any favours being pictured smoking and eating burgers on holiday.
