Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I have a soft spot for Everton as well. Thats the thing, yeah out of all the England teams, I like Liverpool best but if they get beat....well I don't really care that much. They are just an excuse to have an interest in the English games Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 WOW!!!! Quote: Wayne Rooney has thrown Manchester United's season into a state of turmoil after informing the club he has no plans to sign another contract and intends to find new employers. Rooney's decision is based on serious differences with Sir Alex Ferguson, the Guardian understands, and will be a devastating blow to the supporters who have come to regard him as a talismanic figure in this troubled era under Malcolm Glazer's ownership. United may have no option now but to sell the England striker, possibly in the January transfer window, rather than risk his transfer valuation dramatically lowering now that he is only 20 months away from becoming a free agent.

big-will 7 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Quote: Manchester United may have dismissed talk of Wayne Rooney leaving Old Trafford as "nonsense" - but the reality is that the England star may well be heading out of the club in January. United's reaction to newspaper suggestions that Rooney could be on his way was swift. "To suggest Wayne Rooney will be sold in January is nonsense," said a club spokesman. But Press Association Sport understands Red Devils officials have been informed Rooney will not sign a new contract, and therefore may have little option other than to cash in on their most valuable asset. There has been plenty of speculation about Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with his star striker since stories about the 24-year-old's private life first surfaced at the beginning of last month. Rooney appeared to make a direct challenge to Ferguson's authority on Tuesday after England's Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro, when he went out of his way to contradict the Scot's claim that he has been suffering from an ankle injury.

Thundercat 60 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Everton really did put together a good game last night! Other than a few minutes of the match they totally dominated. Very happy to be wearing my jersey last night Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah, watched the Everton game in the Hub in Yokohama. Was very pleased with the way Everton played and two good goals for them too. Torres is looking might pissed off recently. Link to post Share on other sites

griller 9 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Quote: Rooney has been in the worst form of his professional life for the last seven months, without a goal in open play since the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich in March. Most worryingly, he is showing few signs of emerging from his current slump. And he wants a raise of 75%. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Both Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill are due to speak at a Unicef press conference at lunchtime and they may address Rooney's situation. We'll have regular updates from Andy Hunter, who is attending, and the rest of our team in the north west. Guardian have it live! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Luckily all the attention is on young Wayne, but it sounds like Newcastle's new No. 9 has brayed someone again. What a tool. The season's only just started, but the early signs are not good for the lads. It's going to be struggle. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 So how poor has Rooney been since he injured his ankle against Bayern Munich back in March? Here's how his form compares from August 2009 to before that injury v afterwards (stats from Opta): Goals per minute on pitch Pre 1 every 95min 27sec Post 1 every 563min Goals per game Pre 1 every 1.12 games Post 1 every 8 games Shots on target Pre 1.97 per game Post 0.75 per game Shots off target Pre 2.21 per game Post 1.38 per game Chances created Pre 1.59 per game Post 1.62 per game Crosses Pre 2.79 per game Post 1.75 per game Dribbles/runs with ball Pre 2.1 per game Post 2.5 per game Passes Pre 40.66 per game Post 35 per game Passing accuracy Pre 73.79% Post 78.21% Tackles Pre 0.69 per game Post 0.38 per game Tackles won Pre 75% Post 66.67% Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 It's usually Fergie that gives the boot not the other way round. Though he hardly goes out of his way to patch things up from all accounts. But really him demanding 60k a week more on current form and all the bollocks now just doesnt make sense.
