MC11 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Would anyone take him for the number ten position? Or even midfield as seems to be spoken about a lot lately? Exactly this he'd be class as a 10 for us. Drop Barkley back - that's the one! He'd really drive and lead the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Totally agree. What is it with everyone trying to reinvent the wheel. Rooney played his entire career as a forward, his instincts are to attack. Mourinho says that these multi-role players are useless and he prefers a specialist in each position. Gareth Bale was a left back at Southampton and (to start with) at Spurs; sometimes reinventing the wheel is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Goodison retirement home for players well past their prime is back in business.... I actually think it could be an ok move if he came for nothing and £80k a week. Is he going to wave goodbye to over 200k a week for the next 20 months?

It's rumoured he's for sale. If they want Seamus I'd do a deal as long as it was a straight swap and Rooney (like Haf suggests) takes a big drop in salary; not like he needs the money. We need a new right back anyway and if we can't get the right man we could always re-sign Hibbo use Holgate, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 He's got 2-3 good years left in him love it if he came back after all he's one of us blue through and through let's hope it materializes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm very sceptical about his current level of ability, but part of me thinks it'd be a bit of match made in heaven if he was to come back in one of the next two transfer windows. He'd potentially solve some of the biggest issues in our squad, providing some creativity from a central position and giving Barkley a great mentor to learn from. He'd also be a good back-up for Rom up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Pisses me off though in many ways. Taking hand me downs once surplus to requirements. If he was on 100k a week then United probably wouldnt want rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 The only way it'd be beneficial to us is if coming back here gave him a new lease of life, because the Rooney we see now wouldn't be someone who would be good for us. Especially at the wage we'd still have to pay him even with a drop in his current earnings. That being said, if it did give him that new lease of life he'd be worth every penny, and then some.

Hafnia Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I said a while ago that IF we get the fully focused Rooney then we will see the best of Lukaku and potentially Barkley.... Rooney knows what a striker should be doing "off the ball" - he is one of the best at it, Rom will have a person on the pitch who will not stand for his half hearted runs or sulks - nor will he tolerate lack of pressing. He also knows the type of service Rom needs and will be a good mediator between the team and Rom - good for both parties. He also knows what its like to be in Barkley's shoes - he can mentor him. Rooney was the player that Barkley is trying to be - the creator.... he also turned into the muted passer. IF we get the 80% of his peak player that he possibly could be then it can be a great catalyst, Edited October 26, 2016 by Hafnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) We were talking elsewhere about Barkley needing a mentor, would he not fit that role? Edited October 26, 2016 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I will not be giving the whole prodigal son/welcome home nonsense. This is pure results business based like it was for him to leave for United. He has had a good career medal wise from his move - fair enough, Bill was able to stave the banks off so it suited both parties - but I will save all the teary eyed nonsense. If he works out then great, if he doesn't then ship him out to the MLS. No captaincy required he shouldn't need the armband.... but will no doubt want it - tick off a child hood ambition.
