his first two seasons here were spectacular and he was head and shoulders above every other utd player and he was the best in the country to boot. he was certainly the best teenager in europe. I genuinely wondered if he would have a monopoly on utd player of the season for the next decade he was so good. he would regularly destroy defenses singlehandedly and do the most spectacular things. similar to ronaldo's last 3 seasons actually. people who say rooney will be better off without Ronaldo don't know what the £#%&! they're talking about and only regurgitate that theory cos they heard some journalist say it or read a bit of the paper and accidentally embedded it into their brain. the same people who kid themselves that rooney was moved to the left purely because ronaldo was a liability on the right. if rooney was so good up front, we wouldnt have felt the need to move ronaldo there. and is it just me or do most of rooney's best performances come from the left where he can get involved and look good without having to do striker stuff like make the right runs and slot chances home? I do worry about rooney. 2 ok/average seasons is fine. Ronaldo went through the same. But he hasnt shown any signs this pre-season that he would have a ronaldo like resurgence to top form where he'd be challenging for the player of the year awards. so many aspects of his game have deteriorated massively. dribbling, control, first touch, shooting, balance, pace, strength. torres has overtaken him, messi and ronaldo have left him for dead, kaka is on another level. even stevie g has regained his position as most impressive scouser. I really hope he can rediscover his inspired form, but I've gone from hopeful that the right signs will start showing to worried that the wrong signs are showing. |

Here is my less wummy argument and my trying to look beyond my not liking Ronaldo.
At it's very best, United's attack is a combination of 4-6 guys who can all get into double figures of a season with maybe one getting 20 odd goals. I think our football is at its most dynamic and difficult to stop when that has been the case. When it shifts from this to one player doing most of the scoring, these guys have egos, missing chances and teammates just subtly tending to direct play more towards the "star", I think that affects confidence. The star man becomes like a looming oak tree shading out everything else. It can seem perverse but I think, sometimes, you need to get the hatchet out and leave the new growth come true. Utd have done well out of Ronaldo and Ronaldo out of Utd. Utd have gotten a great price for him. Money which, in the current climate, is a Godsend. My own belief is that United will be a stronger team next year without him when guys like Rooney, Berbatov, Macheda, Gibson, Valencia, Nani, Owen push on to try and prove that they can fill the gaps left my the "star" man. But let's see. |

Well, missed these goals from t'other day and didn't see the performances from some of the 'shit' players in our squad, but that was quality.The opposition isn't the point, our players ability is. Tosic and Nani will start this season and it's an exciting prospect imo.I'm even warming to Michael Owen
Add Hargreaves, Valencia etc into the mix and we'll be right up there again this season. |

berbatov is not shit. hargreaves is not shit. carrick is not shit. van der sar is not shit. ferdinand is not shit. vidic is not shit. evra is not shit. rafael is not shit. fabio is not shit. macheda is not shit. welbeck is not shit. giggs is not shit. I could go on. I think I've done enough to disprove your theory. there are better players in the reserves than tosic. |
