hes using the stuff in the papers as an excuse. he was already struggling before all that stuff. drought lasted last quarter of last season, the world cup, and preseason. that was all before the allegations.

Those are the times he was banging the prostitutes. Can't say his mind was all on scoring goals.

Rooneys head rolled off during the world cup and he hasn't recovered. He's struggling to play with a partner. His brilliant form last year was when he was up by himself.

I'd say world cup changed him like crazy...if it weren't for that, he would still be in great form

What do you base that on? His brilliant form prior to the world cup??

I thought the big difference was Berbatov playing underneath him last year.  This season Berbatov is playing as the front man with Rooney/Chicharito underneath him.  Goals have basically swapped from Rooney scoring to Berbs. Not sure if that's what you basically meant as well.

Rumour has it Rooney has completly fallen ou with Fergie and will be leaving in January.

United just released a press release saying it's all BS and they have no intentions of transfering him.  Of course they could just be saying that stuff, but can you really see Rooney leaving?

No way... Ferguson knows what he's doing and he's got the player's respect.  Rooney will come out of this close to the winter break and will have a good rest of the season.  Unlike other clubs, players at Man U keep their mouth shut and perform when asked to play... except for Anderson.  He seems to be the only one to bitch about playing time.  He's shite though.

Happens to all footballers. For the first few years at Chelsea, Drogba went through a pattern of one great season, one shit season, one great...etc

Everyone has good and bad runs when it seems like the ball just plain fucking hates you. Hes still a good player, Im sure he'll get outta it

Well, Ferguson came out today saying Rooney informed him he wants to leave Manchester Utd.

As we all know, things haven't been going well for Rooney the past few months, but I'm still a bit shocked he set his mind on leaving. He seemed perfectly happy a few months ago.

United are in a bad situation: not only that they're seeing one of their best players leaving, but he's relativly close to the end of his contract and there's also an agreement with Everton as a part of the transfer that saw Rooney move to United that, if I'm not mistaken, says Everton will recieve 30% of a future transfer above 27 mil.

Post by: bstcahill on Oct 19, 2010, 04:26: PM
you are not mistaken. that is absolutely correct! we have 30 percent of next sale! will boost our team into top 4-6 finish. delighted in the recent news. turns out a united piece of shit can still make us some big bucks!

No, he was best playing by himself.

Yeah, you might be right but Berbatov played for the most part last season so Rooney wasn't all alone up top.  He was the highest up the pitch but he still had Berbatov there with him most of the games.  No? :017:

I was under the impression that they played alongside each other for the majority of last year

No. In all the big games, he played Rooney by himself. Thats when he flourished. He did score with Berbartov you are right but he hit his real purple patch as aplayer up by himself. Games v Arsenal, AC Milan etc.

I tried to come up with a good explanation, myself, and in so doing needed to look up how one spells "Bestyitis" and came upon an article by Piers Morgan, who put it wayyyy better than I could.  I'm quoting, and a link to the article's below, written (not so ironically) back in late AUGUST.

"We’ve seen it all before, in varying degrees, with Cantona, Beckham, Keane and Robson. And now we’re seeing it with Rooney. In recent months he has been displaying almost every sign of acute Bestyitis. He was banging in goals for fun before he committed the cardinal sin of starting to believe the hype.

Cannot believe you have quoted Piers Morgan on a football forum. He is an egg who knows absolutely nothing about the game.

Whatever.  I don't know Piers Morgan beyond "whoever's got talent," and imho, he put together a pretty informed-sounding, eloquent explanation of this thread's topic.

Do you if you disagree with what that egg said about Rooney's current state of affairs, then? (at least back in August.)  That hype/fame are getting in the way?

So Rooney is trailer trash who can't cope with success?  I thought he had success before but handled it just fine... he handled his 20+ million transfer at the age of 17 fine.  I don't think it's the hype that's causing this but I could be wrong.

I never said trailer trash or anything like it... I suggested that maybe the hype/fame/money/pressure/expectations is getting to him, causing him to have some off-pitch issues which are naturally affecting his on-pitch performance.  I don't know, man.. I'm just speculating along with everyone else.

He is short of some confidence. He has played with an ankle injury for the past few months. Perhaps he has believed his own hype slightly, but not to the extent that Shit Morgan thinks.
