I'll give Wayne Rooney one thing, he's got one hell of an agent. 5 1/2 yr contract

[PSRB]

worth over £250k per week

Rooney had 1 clause in his contract: ''get this cu*nting dutchman who takes all the credits and goals out of here......take him back where he belongs!!! '':bless:

I cant argue with that.

Though you have to admit he's not really the acme of a top, top well conditioned athlete. He's required mid-season winter training breaks for the last couple of years and also has a habit of buying packs of fags from room service in hotels.

Also, sralxfrgsncbekbeobe seemed to agree with me

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Is he worth the contract, maybe not.

As for the winter breaks I seem to recall a certain Thierry Henry sodding off to New York every Jan/Feb for at least a couple of seasons. I agree in as much as they are over-paying and he is not in the top top drawer of world-class players but he is damned useful to have around

[Luis Anaconda]

with the same degree of respect as treat mode's or nic's posts on Arsenal :-)

[Classic Jorge]

Look at the teams where he did achieve something, it's a fair argument to suggest he was overshadowed by Ronaldo and Tevez when they won the CL and he was definitely overshadowed last season by the perfidious dutchman.

You seem to be very down on the occasionally psychopathic australian

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

And perhaps, with maybe the exception of van Persie last season, it was in some part due to the efforts of players like Rooney that others had such stellar seasons.


You quite simply don't like him which is fair enough, your call.

I would love for him to be irish or scottish just to see how much of the hype is down to his nationality.

[PSRB]

he's a national treasure in Aus, poster boy for EA and Warrior but has actually achieved the best part of sod all. If he was English, he'd have been comparable with Kevin Nolan

See the media brouhaha when young Jack first broke through.

Now it is the new ugly thick lad from Everton. The new Rooney in more ways than one.

[Classic Jorge]

It does feel a bit like I'm not allowed to like something though, I dont have to be jaded, cynical and snarky about everything, do I?

does it feel as close to communism / socialism as you'll ever live under ?
