elampiro:


This should tell you he was talking about the number 10. Moyes played Rooney behind Van Persie. Rooney granted this interview when he was our number 10 and he was happy.

Under SAF he played in wing, CM in 2012/13

coogar:



van gaal can be pardoned - english isn't his mother-tongue. however, to suggest rooney wouldn't know the meaning of upfront as an englishman is outrightly ridiculous.

rooney was jealous of the hype van persie was getting as the lead striker. he was in the hole in 12/13(contrary to his position in 11/12) when he was upfront and scored plenty of goals for us.

this was why he used the word selfish. he wants to play in a position where his name would constantly grace the headlines. don't mind elampiro trying to teach an englishman how to use english!

coogar:




in a 4-2-3-1 formation, how can you have 2 positions upfront? are you suggesting united played 4-4-2 in 12/13 season?

tess1:


Twisting have started.

You said he only complained about being played in DM in the game against Madrid and i brought out where he complained about being mostly used in the midfield by SAF.

You are also saying he doesn't understand the difference between number ten and being a number 9, Lol.

You also said he was not going to be sold by SAF if he had stayed on but his quotes showed that he had made up his mind to go.

elampiro:

4231 is also 4411 and both from 442.

sinizia:

@ embolden, exactly what Elamps is failing to understand. What Rooney meant by 'upfront' was the position of Persie which he held prior to the capture of Persie who took the position from him. All these Elampiro's circumlocutory twists is null and void. Gaal must be pardoned, he struggles with English, while Rooney is English bred.

elampiro:


Go back and read this thread when Gaal was appointed as United coach, comments upon comments on how Rooney would be sold with immediate effect and automatic alacrity.

For the he made Rooney captain was enough to stop people from assuming things.

StarBoard:

Bro keep calm.

the way we were complaining a few days ago, one would have thought we were not going to sign anybody. The European window is only 13 days old and we've made 3 great signings. Hopefully Woodward doesn't get complacent.

coogar:


in which games did rooney play as a CM in 12/13? why are you twisting the facts? do you know the meaning of upfront or are you just trolling as usual?

sinizia:


Remember you asked me if I (EMPHASIS ON 'I') thought Gaal would sell Rooney, and i answered for myself not for others. I can't take the bullet for others, i'm not Jesus Christ.

elampiro:


Rooney was in the CM against Villa, Stoke, West Ham. He also played in the wing.

On the other part, the reporter 's own assumption.

elampiro:


How is CM and Wing DM?

He understand the difference between 9 and 10. Both positions are upfront for some players.

coogar:

elampiro understands but he will never agree. there is a long history concerning where rooney played in 11/12 & 12/13. if elampiro agrees with you now, all the lies he's told in the past would come crashing down like the walls of jericho

rooney was clear with his stance. he wanted the number-9 position or at best, he wanted a 4-4-2 formation where him & van persie would be a 2-pronged attack. SAF was having none of that cos he considered rooney too poor to operate as a striker.

darefestus:

I wasnt complaining but I understood the reason behind people's complaints.
Van Gaal specifically said we would be doing our businesses early this season so it is not uncommon for people to get worried about not signing anyone after Depay, particularly as the tour was to begin this week.
I expect that we've done most of our summer buying, maybe only a defender left - depending on if Van Gaal wants to use Carrick as a makeshift defender.

elampiro:


If you were he you would joined them judging by your hatred for Rooney.

If others were not here then, they would deny now they believed Gaal would flush him.

elampiro:

This is not true.
If Rooney were angry about not being played in Van Persie position, why was he happy playing behind Van Persie when Moyes took over? Refer to that interview submitted by tess1

sinizia:


I'm getting the bigger picture. No wonder.

elampiro:


This is not true.

tess1:



Rooney was complaining of being dropped into the midfield for RVP who was just bought to top strike. He believed that RVP has just taken his position. He simply wanted his striking position back as the top striker just like he had it in the previous season.

If you say it was because he was used in the DM and the wing. How many times was he used in those positions to have warranted him asking to leave?

elampiro:


Did you read that interview you submitted at all? Rooney was happy playing in where he likes to play, behind the main striker.

Where did I say Rooney was used as a DM?

I want to emphasize , what Rooney was flighting for is the number 10. Ferguson said this after Madrid game that Kagawa 's best position is behind the striker and that was unfortunate because that was Rooney' s preferred position. saf said he might resort to rotating them. Which meant Rooney might get to play in the wing or central midfield sometimes.

sinizia:


cos Moyes wouldn't bench him like SAF did, and Moyes reassured him with some huge pounds sterling in his new deal to keep him happy.

coogar:
LVG has shut nihilist up again.....

about 2 weeks ago, nucca was spewing baloney on how none of our targets would be poached and we should follow their lead by signing premier league runts like begovic & loic remy.

the nucca has suddenly gone quiet now. i am sure he is still pinching himself that a whole german captain would wear our shirt next season. on top of that, we have morgan schnerderlin as the icing on the cake.

when will these chelsea rats get it that we ain't in the same category - the only thing that bounds us together is the map of england that has forced us to play in the same football league.

una never hear weeeeeen!

StarBoard:

Thanks to haters and trolls.
I can understand Chelsea fans. But coming from fans of a club that can't win the Champions league is what baffles me.

coogar:


upfront is not number-10, oga!
rooney wanted the number-9 position. he wanted to score more goals thus using the phrase "i had to be selfish". how can he be selfish in the hole when players in the hole are basically used as providers?

stop trolling, abeg....

elampiro:


You are buttressing my point. If Rooney were so powerful under Moyes, why did he choose to play in number 10 instead of 9.

Why did he not use his influence to take the number 9. He went for his preferred position.

elampiro:


4231 is also 4411 and both from 442.

elampiro:


Selfish towards Kagawa.

He didnt want to share with Kagawa. If Rooney can afford to play behind Welbeck and Chicharito, why wont he play behind RVP. Even under Moyes, Rooney played behind the young lads.
