I'm So Glad We Didn't Sign Shrek!

[King Kev]

I was just looking through a few stats on the Premier League website and noticed that the useless prick has only scored 1 goal this season (a penalty?)

Considering that we were being linked with him not so long ago and, bearing in mind the disruption his arrival would have caused, I think we can safely say this was a bullet well dodged!

Not to mention how much money he'd cost / want paying.

Let Madrid have him.

[Fidel Castro]

Hasn't scored a goal in open play since March apparently. That's a bit more than a 'bad run' isn't it?
Overhyped fat cunt is what he is

[saulman]

It would have left a horrible taste in the mouth. I hope that the club tapped him up and let him use us as blackmail to finacially bugger The Scum (a bit like the Terry situation) and I hope that his subsequent payrise spreads disharmony amongst their squad.

But to have him here? That would be much too much.

[Wooders]

we're getting dzeko and have *got* tevez and mad balla - don't need nor want !

[Ted Hughes]

I'm glad we didn't sign him because of who he is but I doubt his run of blind shiteness will continue for much longer. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it did though?

[CitizenYank]

I hope we are talking about an alternative universe. Ha! Ha! The idea of it. You guys are so funny.

For me it is summed up perfectly by:-

FORM IS TEMPORARY....."CRASS" IS PERMANENT

Very good. :-)

World class player. So I was told by many people while back.

That.

Roo who?

[King Kev]

I reckon there might still be some City fans who still wish we'd signed him...

^^^ There's always one completely fuckin stupid idiot.

What I don't get is that if this guy is so quick to have a tattoo that big, how come he doesn't appear to have any more?

[bluej]

That's a blatant fake photoshop though, the tattoo doesn't go with the curve of his shoulder blades and if you google 'tattoo parlour' or something of the like, then the empty tattoo parlour window comes up in google images -

[saulman]

Good detective work there, batman.
They're even making up stories about tattoos now.

The world has gone mad.

If world class means one of the best in the world in his position, then Rooney probably is. The people who told you that were right in my opinion. Not a very nice fella, no, and plays for the munes, yes. But he HAS been a consistently good player since his mid-teens. Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.

Did you not get your fill of smug self-righteousness when he re-signed at the swamp?

It's interesting though that, in the recent past, almost all of England's 'world class' young players & indeed most of the highly promising players have dropped down to at best quite good & at worst complete shit whilst they should be at their peak. Rooney has been a world class player imo, one of the absolute best at times, but if he was to spend the rest of his career in relative mediocrity, he would just be following the path of most other England 'stars' at the same stage of their careers.

Unfortunately I think he's too good for that to happen but I can still hope.

I've watched a couple of full mune games recently and he's been excellent. I've a feeling he might be carving a future as a deeper-lying forward with less emphasis on goalscoring, perhaps to step into the breach left by the ginger rat if he EVER fucking retires.

I think you're making excuses for him there mate. When you're 25 years old & scoring every week, the only reason you stop scoring (& it lasts for for months) is because something has gone really terribly wrong. Unless he puts it right, he's fucked imo. Unfortunately I think he'll solve it but in my ideal world, it would go fully pear shaped for him at the swamp first & he'd leave under a cloud of fans unrest. That would take about 2 or 3 defeats without him scoring imo; they'd sulk like fuck over there & blame him, especially if we passed them.

Lescott and him neck and neck for goals.
