Rooney threatens to take his ball home (again)

[oldironside]

Wayne Rooney was last night considering tabling a transfer request after telling Manchester United that he is infuriated by comments made about him by the club’s manager, David Moyes, which he claims have depicted him as a second-string squad player.

Well, IMHO United wouldn't miss him and Chelsea would be mad to pay X million quid for him, plus his salary. I'd bet my pension he wouldn't take a pay cut to join them.

Basically an overrated primadonna who's still living off the promise he showed when he was seventeen. He certainly isn't the player he could have or should have become.

1. I never rated hiim particularly....

Of course he's second string after Van Persie. His old Everton manager Moyes knows what his limitations are.

2. To be fair to him...

... he looked a world beater at 17. However, the chips, the fags, the Tennant's Super, and the geriatric prostitutes have all conspired together to turn him into a very average flat footed player with very good management.

3. Just so long...

as the rumors placing him in Bavaria are wrong, I don't care where he goes. A massively overrated player, he is...

4. Beware.

Bavaria is famous for Hefeweizen and Kartoffelsalat. That's probably close enough to lager and chips for Rooney to be interested. As soon as Colleen realises that there are some decent shops in Munich she'll be badgering Wayne to sign.
