"Multiple sources are unoffically claiming Rooney's form and subsequent absence from Manchester United's recent squad selection are due to serious personal problems stemming from alcoholism and depression.

A gagging order is currently in place on all UK based media, preventing the reporting of and speculation surrounding Wayne Rooney's personal issues."

he's never been popular with that lot since he flirted with city. didn't make it any easier on himself when he did the same with chelsea and then took advantage of a beleagured david moyes to get the biggest contract in the club's history.

also doesnt help that he's a scouse bastard.

He started his pro career 4 years earlier than most of his peers, so it's no surprise that he'd finish it around the same time as many others.

He was an incredible talent, but he's fallen away so badly as to make him unrecogniseable against the player we once knew.

Shit happens, I guess.

Probably best if he does fuck off at the end of the season.

He truly was a football superhero once upon a time. On a par with Messi and Ronaldo for 1.5 seasons, but sank so quickly into mediocity.

Good luck with the rest of your life, Wayne.

>>64305201
watching rooney at everton you should be able to see he was nothing special, he was good, but nothing special. Didn't have great ball control, couldn't keep the ball close to his feet, the only attribute standing out is his acceleration, result of his low height. Didn't even score many goals, comparing him to Ronaldo or Messi is an insult.

You guys don't know what young talent looks like.

I'm not, and never have been a fan of >Rooney, but you're deluding yourself here and being biased. He was never technically as good as Ronaldinho, or as good as Ronaldo de Lima, but he was pretty fucking close in his early years and definitely had the potential.

I understand that brit football 'culture' is shit, and homegrown talent here doesn't come close to the talent you faggots produce, but you can't deny that Rooney had GOAT potential.

As for Bale, he did 2 or 3 stepovers and got an assist or two against an Inter team that was on a sudden sharp decline and was suddenly the best player ever, according to the media.

The UK media is the worst thing here, they build up average players who have one or two good performances to be superstars when in fact they don't come close technically to hispanic or latin american players.

Rooney was good. That's it. Bale was (and is) also quite good.
But you guys take any good player with good speed and power and raise them to semi-god status.

Speed and strength are important, but not determinant, as young players can easily work to improve on those aspects as they age.
Great technique, on the other hand, you either have it at 10yo or you'll never have it.
>>
>>64305397
The same way they are hyping up Kane.
>>
>>64305223
to be fair ronaldinho was probably the most talented player ever
>>
>>64305256

Reminder that Bale scored blooters nearly every week that season and carried that Spurs team to their highest ever PL points total. He could do the same at Madrid but Ronaldo doesn't let him.
>>
>>64305397

When he was younger it was evident Rooney did have amazing technique, especially for an Englishmen. Over the years, he has neglected that side of his game, and recurring injuries have really robbed him of any subtleness.

At 18 he was better than he was at 28.
>>
>>64305256
Bale's pace and power helped propel him, but towards the end of his time in England he was so much more

>>64303973
>serious personal problems stemming from alcoholism and depression.
It's literally all our fault. The man has been under constant scrutiny and pressure no matter what he's done since he was 16.

Only the severe cases are treated as an actual sickness. Most people find their way out of a depression without drugs.

It’s usually just linked to a certain lifestyle or situation they are stuck in.

The treatments for depression don't vary much with more money. It's not like buying a new liver in black market or getting Magic Johnson's aids treatment.

Maybe he can find a celebrity friend to hang out with in The USA. Beckham did it. Maybe Rooney can hang out with Dennis Leary or Tom Brady or some other Irish Bloke. Hell Conan could work too.

Hell bring him to the New England Revolutions and let him live in Boston and let him enjoy Irish Boston Culture. Many people from Boston who are Irish treat Irishmen from the Isles like brothers. Even if they weren't born or live in Ireland itself. It would be like as if Rooney never left Britain

still think he was meant to be penaldo's replacement cos madrid thought he was leaving and then didn't, meaning they had to fit the world's most expensive player around the world's biggest ego. reckon he'd have owned la liga by now if ronaldo had left.

Don't get me wrong, Bale has some great qualities and he's certainly hindered playing with penaldo but I'm not sure he'd perform better than him or as constantly by himself. So far he's really had a hard time impressing in la liga.

Is this real life?

You now remember the day a long time ago when you first heard about this upcoming young talent "Wayne Rooney". Watch him bang in goals left and right. Follow the story of him losing his hair then regaining his hair.

And now he is retiring while I'm still on 4chan.
