PietroRico:Yes, yes. Thanks. This is it, exactly. Mourinho was spot on. Rooney can only pass well when he's not being pressed. Even at those times, it's inconsistent with other basic things like first touch which Rooney never mastered completely even as a professional footballer. He can never be a good midfielder. At best Mourinho would use him as a 10 or 9. It's not looking good for Rooney. |

So I was gone for a while, came back to the usual suspects and chaos on this borough: Dayokanu arguing upandan with almost everybody in his quest to make sure he won the England-Germany hackeyned debate. But always cowering whenever GBR1 his nemesis steps into the scene. Dayokanu, À40, Panthanky and Airmark, always at each other's throat with the ever-present invectives like - "apoche cracra", "dindindrin", "amukunmeko", "apoda", "oponu" renting the air as always. . . And as usual, I end up not understanding any of those cuss words. Adelana1, true to his nature - always being a menace to the retàrded Gayners, with the Gayners not failing to troll back United fans with Martial's position on the bench. Kagawa10 - laying low for a while and turning to bishop T.D Jakes with his peaceful comments before I left, only for me to come back and found out he's gone back to causing mayhem on the United thread. A leopard can never change its spots. Elampiro - unsurprisingly finding a way to defend White Pele even with all his mediocre displays after the Russia game. Typical Elampawa. And how was I able to observe these ocurences? Quiet simple. . . . By following the posts of Sports section's Don King - Nihilist. Always at the juicy and happening scenarios, covering the fights, beefs, and gbegberouns as it's happening LIVE!!! I can authoritatively confirm that this ghetto is a more fun place to be than watching the boring Euro. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

I still think Rooney has a head start by being captain. He'll be fixed in somehow. Only if he misuse his chance will he start sitting on the bench. I think the reason he decided not to quit the national team yet is so as to still maintain the push of the English press in club welfare, but even that may not take him that far this time around. He simply has to earn his place or accept his fate. |

So Giggs wasn't even interested in the assistant job, he was eyeing the honey pot. Well it's better he goes and showcases his talent outside before returning to OT in the future, make he no come turn into Gary neville. So far so good, Mourinho has identified the problems plaguing the squad, he's got a striker, a defender and an attacking midfielder/right winger, maybe na cm or dmf e de look for next. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 2:36pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
parrotibaba: Giggs would have taken over if either of Moyes or van Goat performed well. Too bad we can't hand over the baton to him coz we need a coach to return us to our former level - and Giggs ain't that man. |

Sinizia Is there still a debate about Germany and England? One would need to be on drugs to even compare them |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:06pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
SailorXY: Pogba and Matuidi would both be quality additions, my grouse with the Pogba deal is the transfer fee being bandied around. No midfielder is worth more than 60m unless you are going to be the next Zidane and I am not sure about Pogba's motivations and focus. We need to add 2 central midfielders to the team preferably 1 that is more CDM/holding and one that is more box2box. The major question in that midfield is Schneiderlin, is he box2box or holding and is he really good enuf. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 3:14pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
raumdeuter: i don't think the debate will ever stop. All that is needed for the raging war to go on is for either England/English clubs or Germany/German clubs to perform badly, and the usual suspects - you, A40, Pataki and Airmark are back at each other's throat. Though I don't understand the Yoruba cusses, I simply improvise and enjoy the show. England fall hands sha. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 3:20pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
adeyemi2015:Don't be so fast! I think Jose would likely deploy the old famous Scholes' obsessed 4-4-2 tactic which is a recipe for disaster because first and foremost, we don't have a controlling midfielder in the centre nor is Mikhi/Martial touchline wingers. Both are at their best in a fluid system that allows them to roam, interchange and link up play. Secondly, having a combo of 2 immobile sluggish Ibra and Rooney is asking for trouble. He seems to forget that Ibra is also a 9.5 and not your typical no 9. I hope Mourinho knows what he's doing. |

afrodoc2:I can't see us buying both, that will leave us with a bit too many. it's not as if we don't have any midfielders before now & there's still a matter of Pereira & the other academy lads whom I'm sure Jose would have been told to include in his plans when necessary. Anyway he said we are in for 4 players, he's signed 3 already except the free transfer doesn't count. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:13pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
GBR1: This is not what Mourinho means. He meant passes are easier in deeper positions. That same place Rooney made great/sexy passes in Wembley and our last league games is where many have failed to complete simple Square passes in previous games. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dadehmola: 4:34pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
elampiro: .....and that's the only reason "You can tell me (Mourihno) his (Rooney) pass is amazing". In a nutshell, Rooney passes well in deeper positions (under less pressure) but is a clueless plonker when crowded out! You don't have to debate this... Mourihno's statement is Crystal clear : he isn't gonna be deceived with Rooney's diagonal passes to Valencia - Rooney is shyte!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:47pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Dadehmola: You no know book. Mourinho is even holding Rooney higher than what you guys think. Playing in deeper position means you are finished as an attacking player. Mourinho is saying Rooney can still play in the attack. 1 Like |

Nihilist: Read it again WHERE WILL ROONEY PLAY? “There are many jobs and the one that is more difficult to find is the guy that puts the ball in the net. Players change during the years, their qualities and characteristics. It is normal that a player of his age changes, but something that will never change is the natural appetite to put the ball in the net. Maybe he is not a striker anymore, or a nine, but he will never be a six playing 50 metres from the goal. He will be a nine, a 10, a nine and a half, but not a six or eight." |

The full interview is on United official website below. Jose was asked where will Rooney play. He said he will not play him in deeper roles where passes are easy, and the game is easy. But once a scorer is a scorer with natural appetite for goal. Rooney might not fit for a striker anymore, but he can play 10 or even strike. This is my simple understanding. Number 10 is more difficult to play than number 8. www.manutd.com/en/MatchTrackerSeasons/2015-16/United-Today-Live-Blog/2015-16/July-2016/Jose-Mourinho-unveiling-blog.aspx?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ManUtd |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 5:00pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
elampiro: I think that was a massive hint.... A striker that is "maybe not a striker anymore". A player that is implied to be unable to pass under pressure in deeper positions. I think even Stevie Wonder can see this one. It's not enough to have appetite. I have the appetites to bangg two girls 5 times a day for a whole year...doesn't mean I wont die if I tried it. |
