What has happened to Rooney?!

[Adi]

Just a shitty spell of form or was he just beyond his normal self last season?

[Bow]

tough to say, hes had a lot of stuff come out in the papers, maybehes struggling to deal with it

[bstcahill]

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.

[Adi]

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

[bstcahill]

united should swap him for benzema and cash! and send some of that cash over to the toffees!!

[Bow]

hes still got something i think, they were tlkin about his record on the news last night, and aparently it all went down hill since he hobbled off in munich last march

[TheKingNut]

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

[bstcahill]

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

lol his performance has deteriorated immensely from what it was before the world cup imo

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.
