EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 7 minutes ago, GenBr said: He was their top scorer in the league as well. He would easily be the best player in the Championship. Whilst some may question the quality of the MLS he is still scoring a lot of wonder goals there both in open play and from set pieces. Wonder goals yes please! But for me a player of his quality in the championship it is the composure vision and ability to dictate the play that will make a difference in this mad house league and this is what makes the move very appealing. I remember Hoddle at Swindow and Gullit at a very average Chelsea side back then, both past their best for sure but different class, time on the ball, vision, their quality was there for all to see.

Unless him cancelling his dc united contract would mean he can come immediately ???? If he wasn't coming immediately I'd have thought there would be no rush to do the deal and certainly no need to be here now before deadline. If he's here now then that tells me this is being done now and he'll be our player/coach immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that the transfer window was only relevant for the buying team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRam Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 57 minutes ago, LittleEatonRam said: 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. So your point is that we should be signing Greaves ? Bit old ain’t he ?

Kinder Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just watched a report from Rob Dorsett on Sky Sports website. He finished by saying Rooney could be announced as a Derby City player today. What a complete Bamford that man is. He’s supposed to be a professional football journalist for God’s sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 SSN saying MLS window closes Wednesday, they need to get this deal done and Rooney deregistered so they can sign a replacement and register them as their third designated player. Doesn't sound like a winter move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how Derby kept this quiet almost until Rooney rolled up at Washington Dulles for the the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 There would be no point rushing this through if it was going to be a winter move. Coaching staff don't have a transfer window, so the only reason he's over here and flew overnight is to complete a player registration form.

DCFC1388 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Talksport keep banging on about Rooney being on 80k - have thye just plucked this number out of nowhere or has this wage been reported? Was on 40k in MLS so cant imagine him being on any more than 20k over here? The wages saved from the likes of Bryson Nugent Johnson Butterfield & Blackman will more than cover Rooney's - 4 incomings so far wont be on much surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see it happening at all. But he'd be class in the Championship and class that we would welcome I don't think he would want an overly high wage. He would get personal sponsorship to boost his money up.Brand Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
