Yet we always seemed to cope without Ronaldo. How do you explain this, oh enlightened one? |

But for United, somehow, Rooney being absent seems to affect us more than ANY other player. |

Re: Balotelli > Rooney
Yep, gawd bless Ronaldo.
He epitomises everything a United player should be - loyal, selfless, pulling on a Real Madrid shirt every week I can't defend Rooney this season because his form has been poor - although nowhere near as bad as some are (joyfully) making out. He's been pretty decent since that rehab in America. He was excellent against Arsenal (penalty miss aside) ...he played well in both Champions League games + he was very good in the League games against West Brom, Blackburn & Sunderland. Equally he's had a few poor games too - most recently on Sunday. Not quite sure why this Thread has turned into a Ronaldo #@&%!-sucking fest (there's enough of them already) Anyone who thinks Balotelli is a better player than Rooney is either taking the piss or is a bit simple tbf. |

Re: Balotelli > Rooney
You have to hand it to Balotelli he knows a thing or two about loyalty.
"Do I envy Cassano for going to AC Milan? A little," Balotelli told Extra Time. "[Milan owner] Silvio Berlusconi said that Cassano is the best Italian talent - he's wrong or doesn't know Balotelli. "Me with Ibra and Cassano at Milan? It'll happen soon. For this year, and another, I will stay at City where I'm fine." |

like tiger woods, his game seems to have gone to pot after his private life exploded on the front pages. i don't know what his £#%&!ing problem is - and quite frankly i don't care anymore. Whatever it is, it doesn't excuse his seemingly awful basic football technique at times. What the £#%&! has been doing for the last 15 years of his life, because trapping and passing a £#%&!ing ball seem to be beyond him. the fact that he's been given a nice, juicy fat contract is an even bigger slap in the face to the supporters. £250k a week. A £#%&!ING WEEK. For what? I've lost all patience with him. |

And the performances that have been better than awful have been greatly exagerated, West Brom being a case in point, he was quite good at best, yet was heralded as superb in some quarters, he was decent against Blackburn, I thought he was poor against Arsenal, albeit in difficult circumstances. Needs a long break, or a huge kick up the arse. |

fair play, takes a big man to admit that can't disagree that Rooney's having a poor season but with everything that's going on in his circus act life, or rather has been going on, it's half expected. Luckily berba's stepped up to the plate in a big way, we're top of the league unbeaten and if Rooney can click for the last few months of the season we'll piss the league and hopefully do well in Europe - although it's difficult to see past barca again unless we play them before the final I'm not overly concerned. I don't believe all the sentationalist nonsense about him leaving in the summer, not for a second. We have pea who does well off the bench, and as I say it would be a concern if we weren't scoring enough but we are. Conclusion: Pre-ty, pre-ty good |

He battered the Arsenal back 4 on his own at times. Obviously I don't disagree with the opinion that Rooney has been on a bizarre path of 'self distruction' in the past 10 months or so. He has really £#%&!ed up on & off the pitch. His form, reputation & standing amongst United fans has deteriorated as a result. If he'd been given a payrise & a new contract this time last year he'd have fully deserved it, but getting it this year, under those circumstances was pretty £#%&!ed up. However - Footballers are paid obscene wages & very few of them are particularly arsed about the Club they play for. It's just the way it is. There are far more important things in life to worry about than the morals & wage packets of Footballers. |

Re: Balotelli > Rooney
i still reckon he'll be £#%&!ed off in the summer. got a pay bump to play the rest of the season, united get a fee, his agents gets a cut, rooney gets what he wants, united bring in somebody else, everybody's happy. more or less.
edit http://www.utdforum.com/forum/showpo...5&postcount=80 nothing's changed since then imo |
