citizen33 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Good luck to old red nose, but as a Swan I'm gutted with that result. The ref did us no favours whatsoever, and apart from the dodgy freekick that gifted Man U the first goal, turned down a couple of good penalty shouts. We haven't had one in the league all season.

carmine Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 What do you make of Rooney not being in the squad today, is it exit time? I can think of no better way for Moyes to assert his authority on the squad and show them who's the new boss than to get rid of Rooney. He's also hugely overpaid and 250k a week (or whatever to amount is) is way to much to play a guy sitting on the bench unless you are City or Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't do that to Ferguson and expect bygons to be bygons . I loved the way he told the post match interviewer that Rooney had asked for a transfer. I can't see him staying z and Utd are better off cashing in.

He's a very good player but not worth those wages indeed, ferguson never forgets a challenge to his authority does he? rooney was done then, was just a matter of time. question is, on those wages, who is going to sign him? think only really PSG or chelsea would be viable options. unless he fancies china or the middle east.

Sparkles Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Bit tired of Rooney's petulance.His form this season has been erratic at best but he seems to think he is an automatic selection based on past glories. As has been said a million times no one is bigger than the club and he has simply not deserved a place in some big games and when replaced it was for a reason,tactical or form.I thought that he would make a decent attacking midfielder as he simply does not have the pace in today's game to play up top. Whether anyone is ready to stump up a big transfer fee but the real stumbling block is his excessive wage that's in Messi/Ronaldo territory. Interesting if he did finish up in Europe how he would handle learning a new language when he struggles to express himself in his homeland.

Chicog Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 He'd be like Ian Rush if he went abroad: 'I couldn't settle in Italy,' the £3.2million man said, 'it was like living in a foreign country.' And don't forget Moyes sued Rooney and won, there is bad blood there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
