I'd strongly disagree that Rooney is exceptional. I still struggle to believe he has fulfilled his massive potential from when he was at Everton.
You can disagree about that if you wish, that's your opinion.
A blip in form is acceptable. This (I've forgotten how many months now he's been poor) is starting to take the ****, considering the new contract and everything he's landed himself.".
From Jan - March 2010 Rooney scored 19 goals (according to commentary the other day)
In anyone's book - thats pretty special
Then he got the ankle injury (I think he actually had issues with both ankles)which disrupted the rest of the year.
Now Ive no medical experience whatsoever, but I think its fair to say that given the continued problems he had for 9 months (incl the world cup and pre-season) for what ever reason the time wasnt available /wasnt given for them to heal properly - yes it was a great pity for the WC, and for the number of games Utd missed him for upto now - but yeah I think its fair to say that if any footballer's ankle isnt feeling right (especially when an accurate touch is required for a striker) then the ankle is going to be pretty crucial
In the last few games he has played Rooney has looked much more like his old self (yes he got himself into a heap of **** with Utd and off the field, but imo thats probably a lot to do with the ankle issues also)
When he walked back onto the field at West Brom, plainly injured but wanting to help the team for the extra 5 minutes - that said a lot in his favour imo, and shouldnt be dismissed

Hernandez and Berbatov have looked like a great partnership whenever I've seen them (provided they get the proper service.)
You will burn a player out at Hernandez's age /experience if you play him from the start / every game
Im fully with Fergie how he is being deployed at the moment, and seeing as Utd have given Nani nearly 3 seasons to prove what he can do, it would be pretty stupid to give up on Rooney after 6 months (given the three months over the summer Utd dont really care about), not to mention the previous season (even without March- May) where Rooney was easily the club's top scorer by a long way

Jesus, why the hell are you so angry?!
I'm simply putting it out there and saying, "Yes, that's what United need."
Never said anything about it being likely or legitimate.....CONSIDERING I SAID "THE RUMOUR".
Didnt show any anger at all - certainly no need for the rolleyes either
It is a pretty stupid rumour though, dont know how anyone can take it seriously, if you didnt think it was legitimate then there was no point in mentioning it here in the first place.....a rumour / speculation doesnt automatically mean its false so you cant use that as a get out clause like you are trying to (while 99.9% of the press speculaition may be made up - a rumour can still have SOME basis in truth) - this one blatantly doesnt
Kaka is a one and only (on form) - what Utd need is a young Paul Scholes (another one off imo) ......but preferably one who can actually tackle lol
Hopefully Spurs get a win at the lane next weekend!
