By Kidjr Go To PostI dont think Rooneys as burnt out as people make him out to be btw, as your main striker I think you'll get a very good return from his this season. I'm thinking 30+ in all compeitions, just needs to get going, same with every other player who looks rusty as fuck (Hazard, Sanchez, Aguero)Here are his scoring numbers in the league for the last five seasons.
Season Apps Gls
2014-2015 33 (0) 12
2013-2014 29 (2) 17
2012-2013 27 (5) 12
2011-2012 34 (2) 27
2010-2011 28 (3) 11
His contributions in two games this year are:
GOALS - 0
SHOTS - 2
ASSISTS - 0
CROSSES - 1
OFFSIDES - 4
As his age and salary have risen over this time, his numbers have decreased. And while they surely don't tell the whole story, I don't think anyone is going to say he's been dynamic enough to make that case.
Someone posted yesterday about the number of minutes he's racked up compared to Giggs at the same ages. He will be 30 in two months.
He's breaking down.
Single figures from Rooney this year. He just doesn't seem able anymore. Presumably his appetite for the game has diminished too.
By n8 Go To PosthelpI don't get it

By bud Go To Postgiroud's a better player than mandzukic, and suits bayern's style far more than mandzukic does.
mandzukic is like…. gomez except he's not entirely broken.
Giroud is not half the player Mandzukic is, as this season will demonstrate.
By Elchele Go To PostI don't get itLook a bit back and see the dialogue with Cola about the jokes on Schweinsteiger.
I dont think it's necessarily a case of he's 30 and is now breaking down. Granted I dont think he's improving or anything but the reason he didnt score that many goals last season was not because of him becoming a poor player in my opinion. I think as a minumum playing as a striker in THAT team especially with the addition of Pedro I think it'll be hard for him not to score 25+ in all competitions. I'd say something like 19 in the league, 5 CL, 3 in FA cup.
Just my opinion on the matter

You will send Mandzu off to some mid table bundesliga club. RIP in rip.
By inky Go To Post20 from Rooney isn't happening either. Probably like 17
I only think he'll get 22 because of pens.
By Esch Go To PostYou will send Mandzu off to some mid table bundesliga club. RIP in rip.
As soon as we sign Berardi and Gotze, I reckon.
By bud Go To Postgiroud's a better player than mandzukic, and suits bayern's style far more than mandzukic does.lol

Giroud is exactly an improved version of Gomez. That's why we decided not to sign him in the end.
Mandzukic is better than him, and it's ridiculous to even argue about it
By Zabojnik Go To PostGiroud is not half the player Mandzukic is, as this season will demonstrate.
I do not believe for a second that Mandzukic is twice as good as Giroud. He probably is better, just.

You honestly feel like Rooney playing as Man Ut'd main striker is not going to break double figures this season?

Just look at his first touch. It's gone.
Mandzukic is Croatian so fuck him
(He better than Giroud but Olivier has him beat in the aesthetics department)

In fact, I agree with you that he should be scoring more or be in better positions to score now that he's being played up front.
Just my opinion on the matter
The problem is, is that thus far he doesn't look like a player cable enough to do that anymore. Poor first touch; slow and indecisive on the ball; and just sloppy.
Maybe he'll find his form and sort things out, but it feels more like a Falcao Pt. II wishful thinking situation more than anything.
And I'm fully aware of the irony of that last sentence :(
By Splatt Go To PostAtleast Giroud is beatiful crap
By wedward Go To PostJust look at his first touch. It's gone.
I honestly think it's just a loss of form, rust that will come back

Yeah because I don't think he'll last too long. LvG is a contrary fucker who gives no shits and he'll drop him if it comes to it. Pedro Depay Januzaj front 3.
Even Rooney's touch is fucking gone.
Giroud is a 7 out of 10 player, Mandzukic is a 7.5 out of 10 player.
By Zabojnik Go To PostGiroud is not half the player Mandzukic is, as this season will demonstrate.
the time has come.
fight me, zabo.
fight me.
death.
deeeeeaaaaaaath.
By wedward Go To PostI am glad we didn't sign Mandzukic.
I'm sorry we didn't sell you Llorente.
By Zabojnik Go To PostGiroud is not half the player Mandzukic is, as this season will demonstrate.
lol
By dark_prinny Go To Postlol
It's not our fault you tried to play him like you did Costa, prinny. He's not Costa.

This guy is a fucking monster
Settle down a little bb
Why isn't he in London?
Why is he running up a mountain?
When are his hamstrings going to go?
By bud Go To Posthe's worse than costa.
Well, sure. That's not the point though.
I'm kidding when I say he's twice the player Giroud is, I hope that's obvious, lol. I think they're pretty comparable as far as the general level goes. I also think Benzema isn't that much better. He's a step above, maybe, nothing more. With the service Benzema gets at Madrid, a player like Mandzu would score a comparable number of goals. Giroud would do very well as well.
I would take Rooney; he can get 40 goals a season. Wenger can make him world class. he's more hopeless than Sanogo
By wedward Go To PostWhy isn't he in London?

Fucking idiot, Wenger gave him a few days off, to recover from the weekend exhaspirations (wenger didnt really want to play him as not match fit yet) and he went to fucking Chillie and has been running up mountains all day.
By Mr Cola Go To PostI can see Rooney scoring a few tonightOf course he will.
By Pele.gif Go To Posthttps://instagram.com/p/6huBQ-i6XG/what a beast

By dark_prinny Go To PostMario Mandzukick is shit. Trust me Zabo.
I usually do, but not when it comes to drugs and Mandzukic. Sorry prinny, it is what it is.

I doubt he went back to Chile. That seems like a long flight if he is only gone for a couple of days.

I fucking hope he didnt, just the bs on twitter, either way stop bloody running around on your days off we need you match sharp.
All this talk of strikers. Imagine how much an in-form Henry, Shearer, Batistuta and Ronaldo will cost in this day and age.
By Auto Go To Postwhat a beast

Ay there's a queue mate
By sohois Go To PostQuestion for Dutch-slaent (which I guess is just Linius?):KPN?

You guys are acting like Rooney's first touch has suddenly disappeared. His first touch was dog shit last season too, and at times the season before. That's one of the reasons why we always talk shit about him. You also have to keep in mind that his goal scoring numbers would have been higher had he been a striker all the time the last 2-3 years.
So although I think he'll be shit, he won't be shit enough to not get 10 goals.

Personally, I think he'll rack up somewhere around 15 to 20 goals in all comps.
