the idea that Ronaldo wasn't the best player in the world while he was at United is ridiculous though, it should go without saying Rooney has his chance to step up now so let's see if he can do it for the whole season eh. |

I've said on here many times that they brought the best out in eachother. I think their combination play & understanding, particuarly between 2006 & 2008 was some of the best football I've ever seen at United. |

A full time dreamer. And yes, I do worship Rooney Quote:

If he stays free of his annual '8-weeks or so' on the treatment table I think he'll score 25+ goals & will continue to be a fantastic player for Manchester United. |

One of the few benefits to losing Ronnie is the fact that Rooney has now the opportunity to become the focal point of our attack, he is a very complete player who could become even better when everything around him is built to suit him.
It would be great if he elevated his status in the game further, everyone knows hes already a top player and still only 23. |

it is indeed a game of opinions, and the opinions of virtually everybody were the same, hence all the individual awards that went with all the trophies and all the goals - and the world record transfer fee.
Rooney can't hide behind injuries forever. can't keep saying "if only" and quite why you thought this Quote:
it's funny but you seem to be agreeing with those saying we probably won't win anything for the next 2 seasons (wishing chelsea and the continental giants step up in our absence). and at the same timing saying that you think we weren't a one man team and that we'll be fine. and that Rooney will score 25 goals now that Ronaldo has gone. and amongst all that you're still hoping for a marquee signing to save us now that Ronaldo has gone. i think you're a bit confused tbh |

He's won practically every honour in the game & is adored by United fans & funnily enough England fans too (who usually hate 'Man U' players) I doubt very much he has cause to say "if only" very often. In terms of his injuries, well I make it that he's had one injury free pre-season with us - the summer of 2007 - & then he went & broke his foot on the opening day against Reading. He's consistently been injured around the start of every campaign & usually at the mid-way stage too. Hopefully he'll grow out of these niggling little injuries & get a run of good luck. Quote:
No. I think because it's unlikely that we'll bring anyone else in that our bench will be quite weak/inexperienced for next season at least. That's the reason I think we might struggle at key times. Rooney will be a key player next season & I think he will score more goals, but without Tevez & Ronaldo he won't have much in the way of help/back-up. Hoping for a marquee signing isn't the same as expecting one. I don't think I'm confused at all to be honest |

I expect Rooney to be as excellent as ever, possibly a little better, I hope he avoids injury too. But the fact remains that you can't rely on one player, you need another one or two to hit the heights in conjunction with Rooney, as Ronaldo, Saha (to a lesser extent), Tevez and others also have. It is worth nothing those 3 are no longer here. So he needs to build relationships with our better forward and have players step up. Hence the comment about pinning your hopes on Rooney. It's the rest you need to worry about. |
