Sir Alex Ferguson got shocker of his life when he heard the news of Rooney's desperation to leave the club.One would think his decision as not so loyal but what he can do with the sides performance dipping by every passing day and players were sold just to get rid of the debt. Rooney is not as mercurial as the likes of Ronaldo, who departed for Real Madrid last season but then SAF finds it hard to swallow, Reasons for it - SAF only banking on the shoulders of Rooney to win trophies - No consistent scorers like Ronaldo and Tevez (thats why Rooneys departure news brought tears to his eyes) Financial condition of the club doesnt allowed them to bring in new players which will help the club to find some glories over the world.SAF had too much faith in the Berbatov so he didnt paid much heed to the Tevez saga and eventually he got the boot from the club.This very decision backfired SAF as Berba was miserable in that season after departure of Ronaldo and Tevez. Now Manchester United's future seems bleak as they not having any of its magical players who can turn the tide on their own, Berba with TOM,DICK & HARRY (Hernandez,Owen,Macheda) wont be able to get required number of goals at crucial junctures to win the silverware,In short they are going to fail miserably(As Just with the case of Liverpool) United need new players injection in the club and certainly a new owner who can help them get rid of debts otherwise Manchester United on their way to accompany Liverpool at the bottom of the table.
Well it's too early to make such a comments and as United fan since 1993, I can say this is part of our history, United was never be one men team at any time, you know Rooney just scored one goal this season for us! You might make early comments about Hernandez but he already scored few goals in limited time on pitch specially goal against Valencia in Champions League night gave some glimpse of his talent and time show to world that he will be a world class player! He already scored 2 Goals this season and if he have regular place then he could match Rooney and Ronaldo's first season goal tally! Yes we have debt on us but not buying a star players is not sign of United decline. Manchester United always trust on his youth policy and in early 90's some experts comments on him that boys can't win titles but he proved that boys can win titles! One think I say Alex did only big mistake when he sold Jaap Stam otherwise he was right on his decision. On Berba, he is different class of players with silkish football style and his vision is best among any players in the world and we have seen again and again that his killing pass gave very important wins in past and he already started showing his improvement this season! United have good youth force who are ready to build champion team! Only thing which I like to have is creative midfielder and Left winger else United still strong team! On recent form, it's know fact that United is always be slow starter and once they pick up some wins then they are unstoppable and yesterday's win is give some indication that United is ready to show what they are! They are champions!
It's time for MU to not depends on Rooney. And I'm speaking of the company's management. MU should fix their debts soon and release Rooney, why? Because he's such a douchebag that he demands more than sufficient, -but I'd say not sufficient- far more from it. And I thought that he was meant to put it on the show.
Lol! I've seen such a statements many times since 1993 but Manchester United always answer to such a statements! Just remind you that Ronaldo's team was knocked out in first knock out matches in UCL last season while United go to Q/F of same events! So it doesn't matter about players! We have a team and we have manager who wins more titles then anyone and we will show again to world that we are club who wins titles more then any clubs without depending on one players! Rooney's departure may be not good but for long term it may be positive for us as his departure will surly make our fight against Glazers and we surly would have our club without debt soon in 1-2 years! Always United! Forever United!
Hmm.. where have united fans heard this before? Oh right every single time a good player leaves it's the end of United right? Wrong!! Beckham, Stam, Keane, Van Nistelrooy etc etc All these people left and everyone thought united will never be the same again, they thought after Ronaldo left we were over, one point behind Chelsea isn't Over is it?? Pointless post
Don't worry, positive things started now. Wayne Rooney signs five-year Manchester United deal BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/9118602.stm
I am not sure how to feel about this, he has hurt the fans, his team mates and his manager A public apology is in order or even a direct on at me and rohit patel would be ok
Well whatever he do but I have no respect for him like I had 3 days ago before drama started but yes I will support him and I am sure fans will behind him and we support him for our club! I think this will give good edge to us and it will give some boost in upcoming matches and I wouldn't be surprised if we have our first away win of the season on weekend!
well i'm a fan of chelsea. but i think ferguson is a brilliant men. he doesn't needs star player.. because he is the one who create the star player such as Ronaldo,giggs, ferdinand and others.. so, i think he should not have a lot of problem to create a new star in the making. i know he good at it.
If it was any other manager i don't think they could have kept rooney but as it was SAF well look what happened...
ferguson is a very strict and dicipline manager.. he seems to be in a same league as mourinho,wenger. they all have same atitude in common.
Yes we already see potential star in terms Javier Hernandez and he will surly become a new star for us.
Yes Hernandez is looking very good so far. Two goals already, more than Rooney has scored this season....
Hernandez need time before he can settle down and get use to United system but that's going to take few months or even years like Ronaldo. Like you, I'm a United fan since 1993 too but this is by far the weakest team we ever had. I respect Rooney even more because he has the guts to speak up about his concern about the club. Nobody really has the balls to say to Fergie that the club is going down now. Let me explain to you why: - 1) Aging stars: Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Van der Saar, Rio. At the moment we still haven't got real replacement for them and they can't keep going on forever. A new signing need time to settle down and understand the system. 2) Too many dead weight: Carrick, Anderson, O'Shea, Brown, Hargreaves, Owen, Evans Are they United materials? NO! Carrick never been the same. Anderson & Evans are getting worst rather than improving. Owen, Brown, Hargreaves are injury-prone. O'Shea only deserve to play for reserve team. 3) Less talented young players: Bebe (unproven), Obertan & Wellbeck (loses ball easily), Macheda (can't play as a lone striker - unable to hold up ball upfront) Unlike Madrid, Barcelona, and even Chelsea, United have no real potential star that we can look forward to except for Hernandez. The last real gem we had was Ronaldo. Without this kind of player, we don't have the "fear" factor. 4) No creative player other than Nani and Rooney Let's be honest, United have no playmaker except for aging Scholes. Now we must fully depend on Nani and Rooney to dribble and create fancy moves. Fletcher is clearly not a CM or AM, he's completely a DM. Carrick never want to take the responsibility (look at the way he play, never hold the ball for more than 5 secs, that's not a playmaker) 5) No deadly striker Yes, Berbaflop score quite a number of goals lately but he won't score more than 25 goals this season. Mark my words. Believe it or not, Hernandez is the only hope we have at the moment because he and Rooney can play counter-attack football efficiently. Let's be honest, Berbaflop is tooooooooo slow. 6) No money to spend Yes, Fergie lied to us. We don't have any money to spend on new players. Hernandez, Bebe and Smalling are just the cover up to show us that United actually got the money. No, we don't. We don't have money to bid on Ozil at 12M. What make you think that we can get any stars at the moment? Sorry to say this but we're going down and it's all Fergie's fault for covering up for the Glazers family. Rooney did the right thing. I can't believe that most people here think that Rooney is wrong for asking for more money. Yaya Toure salary is 185K per week, and Man City is not the richest club in the world. Last time I checked United still at the top of the list. Where's the money gone? Now United must decide whether they want to improve the club with new signing or continue going down.
Well one point which I am adding is United boss yet to find a good combination of team! I think United should use Hernandez and Rooney at front as these two can give us deadly striking pair as Rooney have strength to hold ball and Hernandez has speed which ca be give us a perfect goal scoring pair! I really missing Valencia here as he is best winger for us and his crosses from flank give us many goals last season! I'm glad to see Nani showing excellent football lately and he is now feeling gap which Ronaldo left us! United should give more chances to youngster in team rather then those dead players! I can't understand why Alex using those players again and again like Anderson and Carrick, both are useless for me in last both games, no better passes, nothing else! We have two establish players Darren and Paul and we need to stick with these two! Important think we have no perfect players for left winger and I think if we don't have it the we should give Bebe or Obertan few chances if they can give some hopes! I have to say United could capture Rafael van der Vaart which is almost same price we paid to Bebe. Rafael van der Vaart is one of best playmaker and he showing with Spurs too! United did biggest mistake to not sign Rafael van der Vaart.
get your facts right. Berba was never a flop. He will score more than 25 so you mark my words ok! You obviously don't support united, your just a glory supporter.
Well it always be and I think Sir Alex did all things as he only men who can stop Rooney to go out! Also Glazers have no other option at the moment!
