I don't like kicking a man when he's down, and I'm not going to highlight the current faults in his play, because they're there for all to see.

I try to avoid taking part in the Rooney debates, because people know what I think of him as a person, and it'll only look like I'm being biased because I don't like the guy.

I think everyone would give Wayne a bit more leeway, if they saw he was being treated like all our other first-team players. ie. if you're playing badly, you get dropped or subbed. I think that's all that most of us are asking for.

At the minute he's attracting all this opprobrium, because he's seen as getting a bye ball when he and others are playing poorly.

I'm afraid that it could all end up really messy for him, and despite my personal views on him as a person, his contribution to Utd over the years, deserves a bit more than that.

As an aside, If he'd maybe looked after himself a bit better when he was younger, or maybe it's just because his body wasn't made to last this long. Either way, 30 is far too young, in an age of unparallelled advances in sports science, training and nutrition, for a player to have deteriorated so early.

Couldn't help yourself could you Noucamp99, you done so well to not kick a man when he's down and then finished by basically calling him a fat b*****d ;)

So close to objectivity Stevie then feel at the final hurdle😀😀
He was at one time my favourite player in the team. Now I don't even want him next nor near the team. Get rid now with brutal efficiency. Cut out the cancer and start the recuperation.
This is no time for sentiment.

Good post Noucamp. I'd like to just make one little point, when does "his past contribution", credit lapse? He has been worse than a passenger for the majority of the last 4+ years, my personal feeling is that whatever we as a club supposedly "owed" him, that has been more than paid for.

The guy is on so much money, plays irrespective, does what he likes for club and country, yet offers virtually nothing and handicaps better players in my opinion with his presence.

Wazza will go down as a legend and his stats speak for themselves.

I remember the 16 year old lad built like a man that announced himself to the world for Everton against Arsenal, the 18 year old lad that took England's chances of success with him when he limped off in Euro 2004, the excitement of that talent joining our club, that debut and the buzz leaving the ground after, that red card and the expected (hoped for) fallout with Ronaldo at club level that turned out evolving into two thirds of one of our greatest ever foward lines, the celebration after scoring against Everton and the feeling that he is one of us after all (but at the same time respect that he is still a blue but had to leave to have the career he's had and they will always be his first love but he has grown to love us), winners in front of The Kop, countless more memories. Roy of the Rovers.

That said, there is no room for sentiment in modern day football and my fear is Wazza has nothing left to realistically hope to achieve other than goals and appearance records at club and international level, of which are obtainable with a few more years of mediocrity largely due to his previous and now past consistentcy and his early start.

Personally, I just hope he doesn't risk tainting the memories by hanging on too long aiming for the above, but fear that moment has passed for many.

Sorry for the long post. I know this is a touchy subject. Peace.

From memory I remember Rooney having a good couple of months at the start of the Moyes reign. Well until he got his new bumper contract anyway. Or at least that how it seemed. Lol.
