What has happened to Rooney?!

[gkikas]

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.

How did MU manage to keep him in the team and make new contract???I was sure that he will leave..

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?

His article was hardly eloquent...do you know what that word means?

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.
