is there anything to read into rooneys exclusion last night?.
i no we were told he has a swollen shin but would it have anything to do with fergie's comments in the press yesterday?!
ps there is a thing called shingards!
1.) What is worse is that Moyes said he wasn't going to be involved anyway wtf is wrong with that man like him or not rooney is the only player doing anything for us this season so far
2.) Maco,
If you have ever played football in shin guards you will at some point have received a kick in the shin that affected your shin in quite a bad way. It would be a lot worse without the shin guards but they are not bullet proof armour, it is quite easy to still get injured shins whilst wearing them.
Stop with the conspiracy theories, he was just injured.
3.) A month ago I would have said definitely. But no way now, he is in a great vain of form and the media are loving him at the minute, he wants that to continue so he has more interest next Summer.
If he was able to he would have played guaranteed.
At least England should benefit if we get to the World Cup as well, one final push to get that mega money move to City or Chelsea.
4.) GDS
totally understand that shin guards won't saved you from being killed by a bullet but just taught as he played with a deep cut on his forehead with a protective band that a swollen shin would be just as easy managed?!
also was on the banter page so I taught i'd throw something different in to the mix from the current negative vibes that's on here by some people!
5.) Probably wouldn't have played him as he knew there would be no point. He would have touched the ball about 5 times in the Ukraine.
6.) Have to agree what is Moyes doing saying Rooney would not have played all he had to do is say he was injured and leave it at that. If you were Rooney what you have thought he has been our best player this season and would not have played last night when the likes of Tony V starts. Also Moyes has to stop talking about Fergie and be his own man doesn't matter what Fergie achieved Moyes is manger now.
7.) Maco, an injury to his head wouldn't affect his mobility tho.
8.) Thats because there's nothing between his ears stevie

Hi Guys
Just a quick point i'd like to make. I think its unfair some of the stick dm is getting but the comments that he is coming out with is not helping his cause.
'We don't have superstar players' 'we can't win the champions league' 'we need players to come straight in to the team' etc.i think all this negativity is one of the main problems
The players were used to unrivalled support from sir alex publicly even when things weren't going well or when the team was playing poorly and now they don't seem to be getting the same protection which I think is changing there attitude on the pitch and they don't seem to be giving 100%. just my opinion
cheers
1.) He can't rate Rooney and Van Persie that highly.
2.) Rooney and RVP are the only two world class players at United.
Moyes knows that, the problem is half of the team are just average.
Young, Cleverley, Anderson, Nani, Buttner.
Rio looks desperately slow now, Vidic is coming upto 33 and slowing down, Evra's defending is just terrible and get's worse with every game.
Carrick is knocking on for 33 now and Fellaini has only just joined the club and has to adapt.
We need at least 5-6 new players to come in over the January transfer period and the summer transfer period, and they all need to be real quality players if were to stand any chance of the Premiership or the Champions League.
3.) Vidic is 31 and he is world-class.
5-6 new players, you are talking nonsense Simmo.
4.) He said we don't have enough world class players.
Rooney, Van Persie and an aging Vidic are the only world class players in our squad. Michael Carrick could be considered world class by some( when it comes to controlling posession and setting the tempo of a game, he is the best in the league by a country mile ) but he cannot play 8 games in a month without being rested nor can he play to his best without a decent partner.
But what we do have are players with world class potential whether it's in the near future ( Kagawa, Rafael, David de Gea, Fabio?, Jones, Smalling?, Evans, Nani? ) who, if not given a fair chance, will not reach their potential and some great young talents who can reach great levels with time ( Januzaj, Zaha, Lingard, Keanes, Henriquez ).
But what we need right now are players who can improve the squad, while also not blocking the development of youngsters.
At left-back, we only have Fabio who has any talent to speak of, but he hasn't done enough to merit a starting place ( neither has Evra in any case ) and we need to invest in someone.
And the other area is central midfield. We have no up and coming talents whatsoever to realistically challenge for a first team spot ( Ekangamene, Ben Pearson and Davide Petrucci are either too young or too unlucky ) and we desesperatly need a central playmaker in Carrick's mould ( pace setter ).
5.) Vidic is a very good central defender he is not World Class Sydney.
He was World class 2-3 years ago.
Your statements get better and better. remember the one last week about being top by Christmas, do you still stand by that one?
We do need 5-6 players and I will put my house on it that David Moyes buys that many over the January and Summer transfer window.
We need new wingers, at least one or two more midfielders, a left back and a central defender.
This will be Rio's last year, Vidic will be 32 nearly 33, Smalling and Jones are constantly injured.
6.) Appreciate the feedback!
all man u fans + dm know's we are short in a number of area's but coming out and saying it?! just don't think that was the way to go
7.) Vidic is world-class Simmo. He is 31, not nearly 33. Rio used to be world-class, but no longer is. Evra used to be world-class and no longer is, Vidic is world-class.
IMO we will buy 3-4 first team players between now and the start of next season. Obviously a CB, LB & CM will be signed. I would hazard a guess at us signing a left winger too.
8.) There isn't a central defence on the planet that Vidic wouldn't get into. That means he is world-class.
9.) Wow simmo, vidic not worldclass? pfff the man is one of the best cb in the world mate u need to get off those funny pills
10.) United have some world class players clearly As a non supporter I would class Rooney, RVP, Vidic as world class. The rest are average (at best) and I include DeGea, Evra, Chicorito, Evans, Jones, Carrick. The others wouldn't get in most PL teams and I include Ferdinand, Giggs, Young, Welbeck, Nani and all the other young lads. Liverpool on the other hand have Suarez, Sturridge, Gerard, Coutinho, Agger, Skrtl, Toure, Mignolet, Enrique, Johnson, Lucas ably supported by loads of young guns all proven at international level, including captaining their country at U21 level. Sterling, Henderson, Wisdom, Aspas, Ilori, Moses, Sakho. i'm afraid Moyes has a LOT of work to do
11.) Sydney, sorry to say it but it's not simmo who is talking nonsense. I'd go further and say its more like 10+ new players needed.
Valencia, nani, young, ferdinand, cleverley, evra, Giggs and anderson all eight out straightaway.
Carrick, RVp and Vidic while still quality are all over 30 and will need replacing in the next couple of years.
Its possible you could also add wellbeck, buttner and fabio to that first list.
12.) Tel, our squad is FAR better than Liverpool's. Far better.
13.) Sydney, there's only you that actually believes it now. United have players in their squad that quite honestly would not be bought by ANY team in the league. Let me name just some of them: Ferdinand, Evans, Giggs, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson and Young, that's 8 yes 8 first team players, and you and I know there's more! None of the young lads would get a game in any premiership club yet. There is some potential there, I accept, but no more than most clubs have on their own books. For example none of them compare to say Coutinho or Sturridge. Bury your head in the sand if it helps Sydney, but facts are facts. We all know united has an ageing squad that should have been replaced 2 or 3 years ago, but Fergie persisted with playing Scholes and Giggs because he couldn't find any better players? United have made the classic mistake i'm afraid, by delaying in replacing good players with even better players.
The last batch Fergie bought, were just not up to Uniteds standards, and you know it i'm sure.
14.) Tel, Juve were looking at Nani recently, so I dare say he'd probably get into your all-conquering team of world beaters.
15.) Chris Red Man
Can you please tell me what he has done over the past two seasons to warrant "WORLD CLASS"?
He's been injured alot, I've seen Vidic get torn apart in quite a few games over the past couple of seasons.
This name "WORLD CLASS" is just banded around so much it's embarrassing. Very good player but world class. nah not for me.

Alright guys.
Just quick post to say how dissappointed I am in the way the whole rooney saga is been drawn out and the lies that the club have been feeding us supporteers the last few months.
i know a lot of it is hyped up by the media but watching the footage of rooney training with england just really annnoyed me.
id rather moyes and the club said nothing than come out and tell us lies like he's injured etc why couldn't he be on the bench for rio's testimonial? the community shield?
the whole standard of the club and the strong values the the club have held in all aspects of club conduct spearheaded by sir alex is quickly been unravelled.
cheers
1.) It's obvious Rooney wants to leave so why have such a strong character affecting the squads attitude during training it's not healthy, he's obviously using the England training which is on Sky to prove a point.
Pity he didn't show that desire during most of last season when playing for us.
Dylan
2.) Did you see rooney training at Carrington last week.no because its not pathetic reporting is it. Get a grip.the club is lying to us etc. How old are you?
They have a player problem they are trying to deal with in house and the media especially sky are hyping it out of the box.
3.) He trained saturday for the first time but yet hodgson says he has been fit for days?!
i have my opinion you have your's (whoever you are as u didn't leave a name) so relax and come down of that high horse!
4.) You help enforce my point by quoting press hype. hodgson said etc. trained first time Saturday. You don't know the facts so you can't accuse our club of lying. The worst thing any Utd supporter should do is read a daily rag. Especially gulibles like you who take it all in. Your're like a sponge mate. think for yourself and quit taking in Sky biased reporting. Climbing back now on my horse.!

HI gUYS
Quick rant if I may! The whole Rooney situation just sums out what life is going to be like without Sir Alex.
Don't get me wrong i'm happy with DM appointment but this whole saga been drawn out in the press wouldn't be happening if fergie was still manager.
Also I think DM showed his inexpierence in making the comment that he has i. e if rvp gets injured. having said that it is clearly obvious that rooney is holding out for man u to sell rather then him hand in a transfer request to save himself millions which just shows the type of person he really is,, either that or he dosen't have the brains to write a transfer request on paper!
all in all it saddens me to see the whole situation been drawn out like this but in this case I don't blame man u for not letting him get away with it a second time.
p. s get site ed's doing great job.
1.) U obviously dnt remember the 2010 stand off!
2.) Moyess comment wasn't what it was made out to be. it was the media just focusing on one of he's quotes.
GDS
