He might soon enough when his favourite lad loses his license.
Apparently Koeman had warned Rooney about his behaviour only days before this stuff happened.

A lot of posters in here care very much about what United coaches have to say about Rooney's training application and diet. Of course, when Roy Keane is the target - who cares?

They might have careD. You get your tenses confused. Not anymore he is Evertons problem.

rooney was treated respectfully... he had gone backwards by years imo a player that was past his best 5 years ago... he is a convicted drunk driver now too so in my opinion he is the lowest of the low. when you lose a family member to a drunk driver you will see where I'm coming from... in other words suck it up wayne and throw some of that bitter lemon in your vodka....

The drink driving was completely unrelated to the link that was posted

Lucas Hood

Blind with 2 assists today.

I know that and to a point I would have defended him.. sniping isn't doing him any favors either

I think it's fair game to discuss any United-related comments made by Rooney. He really doesn't do himself any favours in that respect - he should just move on and concentrate on Everton now imo. Commenting on United management like the above just makes him look unprofessional.

I'm literally too pissed to put an argument together, so I'll leave ye with this...

The only player I could see him replacing in that squad today was Fekir on the bench and even that's a toss up on recent form.

He needs to be more productive, he has made over 150 senior appearances now so his age shouldn't come into it. He has started off well but that doesn't change how poor he was all last season yet.

Interesting article in the Sunday Times by Duncan Castles saying that Ronaldo was planning to join us this summer.

RM wanted to sell us Ronaldo to make way for Mbappe. When the Mbappe deal fell through they wanted to sell us Bale but he didn't want to leave.

Has to be BS - I was told in no uncertain terms that there is no way Madrid would consider selling Bale.

I'm delighted tbh. Keeps him fresh & injury free for us when he returns. In fact, I'd love if none of our players played for their country.

Article doesn't even make sense.

We didn't get Ronaldo because Mbappes dad told him not to leave France right now.

We didn't get Bale because he didn't want to leave.

Coman and there are at least 3-4 players who aren't better talent or players than Martial.

Giroud, Coman, Thauvin for a start.

Bangkok - he was very clear that there was no reason in the world that Madrid would sell Bale. Not because of any injury concerns, not because of Asensio, not because of Isco - none of these things ment, in any way at all, that Madrid would ever consider selling Bale. Not a chance of it. So the articles are clearly just made up.

But by all accounts they were actively trying to sell him but he refused the move. Which is kind of the point of Mitch's post

The article says he only didn't move cause he didn't want to leave. It has to be a total BS article cause you said, in no uncertain terms, that Real Madrid would never look to sell him.

As I said, must be a BS article - cause you laid out the facts clearly.

My argument all along was that he wouldnt be sold and he wasnt.

If they wanted to sell him he wouldnt have played super cup against us and wouldnt be playing la liga games for them

Think about it, if real wanted to sell bale and jose said before we played them in super cup, if bale doesnt play we will go for him, guess what happens, bales plays and zidane or madrid have no intention of selling him. He is still a madrid player just like i said he would be. Moving on....

City to be investigated now over FFP.I suppose when you throw the GDP of a country at a team every year to try to win trophies then somebody will have to say "ah here lads".

Griezemann, Lacazette, Giroud, Coman, Mbappe... he could certainly go in over Fakir or Thauvin but that is a ridiculously deep bunch France have up front (and around most of the field at that!). Payet and Dembele also didn't make the squad.

City to be found guilty.

City to be fined the equivalent of four days wages of one of their top players.

City to repeat.

They either need to find a stonewall, black and white way of using a FFP type system or just ditch the whole idea altogether. All we've seen in the last several years is transfer inflate during it, and at a much higher level even than they were in the 1990s or 2000s.

Don't think they are being investigated yet though are they? Think it's just LaLiga throwing a hissy fit for Barcelona.

La Liga should look a bit closer to home if that's what they're investigating.

jayo26

It's not fair why always city why don't they investigate someone else... city are been hard done by... They picking on man city why can't people just all love city.

Bigger than a club indeed, they're actually an entire football league now!
