He’s gone 30 years without a competitive goal for England. Simply not good enough. Yeah, because that's exactly the point I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument was he only scored in friendlies, but 37 out of 50 goals were from competitive matches. He was a guaranteed starter for England for most of his career, and barely scored any against big opposition or in tournaments. If Greaves had been able to play multiple games against San Marino he'd probably be out of sight for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 BBC Sport Football looks magic. Manu just signed the world's most expensive defender, but it's DCFC making the headline. Mel's a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktwo Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 1 hour ago, gccrowdpleaser said: Thinking about this there could a number of ways that this plays out to benefit the club. Exposure and profile were raised with Lampard but Rooney is another generation on and one that embraces social media and general exposure. Lampard had 3.2m Instagram followers....Rooney has 14.2m. From a profile perspective that is incredible. That leads onto investment. If you're looking to bring it in from Asia, Middle East or the US then this is the sort of exposure these teams crave. Couple that with an existing high profile manager in Cocu and you have the makings of a significant investment opportunity. Away from that we have the 'player/coach' role. IF he signs it will first and foremost be as a player. There is then the opportunity for him to do some work, as has been done by Giggs/Gerrard/Terry/Lampard, with the U23's. This enables him to finish his badges and gain the required amount of hours coaching. So if he comes in as 'player/coach'it will be as part of the under 23 coaching staff. Not the main coaching team. There are two major benefits for Derby to that. As a club the appointment Cocu signalled an intent to develop youth further. So you bring in an inspirational player who broke through at around 16 years old, has had a long career with significant downs as well as ups and if he is managed well he can really help those players step up and transition under the wider guidance of Cocu and the team. Now comes the potential genius of this. I think I am right in saying that Academy costs are exempt from FFP losses. To encourage home grown talent development and make sure that isn't cut back when costs are cut. So if Rooney comes in as 'player/coach's it doesn't take a creative accountant to ser that you can write off half at least half his salary into Academy costs. Thus you are developing young players through inspirational leadership, you're creatively making your way around FFP whilst taking the club forward, you are also putting the club in, outside of the Prem, the biggest shop window going in terms of investment. I think it's quite exciting. That my friend is exactly it ... WOW WOW WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Praying this comes off. Would be an absolute insane signing at this level. Hed boss the midfield, very intelligent footballer abit like Hernandez at Leeds. Doesn’t and never has relied on speed or bundles of energy: he’s got the passing ability, the power and the brains still to hack it. Please let this happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsRam1999 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 He would be the number 7 by the looks of it. Cant believe some people wouldn’t want this. His passing range, his shooting ability, his footballing brain and the inspiration factor make this an easy yes from me. One of England’s greatest ever, top scorer and one of the premier leagues top scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This would be a very good signing for most Premier league clubs... Also he wasnt mpast it when he went back to Everton... Wasn't he joint top of their assists, most key passes and still scored 14 goals... He was probably their best player Not sure why anyone would be against this he is another level a genuine world class player in his day and at 33 probably has a few years in him.
