Rooney's statement last week about not being injured was a public smack in the face to Fergie and the club who had tried to protect him when the lurid stories about his private life surfaced. His current form does not merit a first team place, at the moment he seems to even have difficulty with basic ball retention skils...Utd fans would be gutted to see him go but no player is bigger than the club.

As Simon points out, in his current state of mind he's no good to anyone. But to answer your question, who does Rooney need?

I think most neutrals would agree he is at the right club with the right manager.

If he were to go then the club would need to find a replacement, personally speaking Benzema would soften the blow.

However, this is all speculation about speculation, but there is no way he would end up at Citeh, there would be civil war, if he thinks he's got problems now...

As RD says, most of us would hope he stays but he isn't bigger than United. If someone offers good money for him then I think we should bite their hands off. Bridges are smouldering and if he's not careful they'll be burning behind him.


We've seen great players come and go and they'll be someone else to take on his mantle soon enough. The Little Pea is looking pretty good!

?7.5m a year in wages on Rooney... damn right they would purely on commercial payback


Looks like the old Anfield fever has cursed Roy Hodgson.. http://lfcglobe.com/hodgson-attacks-norwegian-journalist-following-everton-defeat/5782/


?Are you from Denmark?? Hodgson asked. ?No, Norway,? replied the journalist.


?Ah, two countries I never want to work in again,?

Just seen this on another forum. Well in Mr Brand


http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2010/10/19/russell-brand-makes-generous-donation-to-hillsborough-family-support-group-100252-27500737/



COMEDIAN Russell Brand has made a ?generous? donation to families who lost loved ones at the Hillsborough disaster.


The entertainer decided to make a contribution to the Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG) after watching spokeswoman Margaret Aspinall speak at the 21st anniversary memorial service at Anfield.


Brand met Mrs Aspinall recently when he attended his book signing at Waterstones, in Bold Street.



The West Ham fan has phoned the mum, who lost her son James, 18, on the Leppings Lane terrace, on two occasions, once when he was in Memphis, Tennessee.


Today, Mrs Aspinall told the ECHO: ?It really came out of the blue. He sent me a letter, which was lovely, and said he would like to meet me.


?He mentioned the group on a Billy Butler radio interview and said he had watched me speak and it was very moving.


?He said he loves Liverpool and thinks the work we are doing is very good. It was very nice of him ? he did not have to do it.


?I will not disclose how much he gave us, but it was a generous donation. I met him upstairs at Waterstones and he signed his book for me.?


Yesterday, it was also revealed how ?660,000 was made available to the independent Hillsborough committee.


In Parliament, sports secretary Jeremy Hunt, who recently caused controversy after wrongly linking the tragedy to hooliganism, announced the cash boost.


The panel brought in to study the previously undisclosed files on the 1989 disaster are currently examining the once-hidden documents. They are likely to be made public some time in 2012.


Concerns the group?s work might be downscaled with a new government at the helm have been quashed after home secretary Theresa May gave her full backing to the project.

I think the ?why? comes down to Rooney being yet another young man who thinks he knows better than anyone else


Sure, it may be ?wise? to maximise his value before he becomes a busted flush before 30, but he may not even make that at the current rate of decline. He is young, and someone like him can only benefit from someone like Fergie ? he just doesn?t like what he hears. I?ve never liked him and I said to Everton fans at the time that he was going to be another Gascoine


As to ?where? ? pick whichever speculation you like the sound of the most. If he goes to City, expect an Adeboyor type mini-resurgence before people go ?oh I see, he really IS a twat?

What?s the figure being mooted for the transfer? 50 million?


I?m not so sure that will be realised ? if he plays like this for another 2 months, someone wil be taking an almighty gamble


Last season: oh he hasn?t recoverd from injury properly

World Cup: oh he?ll pick himself up for this ? nope

This season: he?ll show the doubters now ? nope


He really could be gone for good ? at least as the force he was. He might be solid without being spectacular for a few more years but I certainly wouldn?t want him at Arsenal

Bit surprised United have come out and said Rooney wants to leave as it suggests they urgently need the money - with Ronaldo they kept it quiet. But I don't think Rooney will agree to move in January. I suspect Rooney will try and wind his contract down all the way and collect a ?40m signing on fee. Not sure Fergie will be able to bully Rooney as after all this is the same player who walked out on his boyhood Club when he was 18.


Comparison to Gascoigne, no. Whatever you think of Rooney you cannot class him in the same bracket as that Geordie lunatic.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
