But I’d absolutely hate it if PP started filling up all of a sudden just because people want to see Rooney. Regardless of the financial benefits it would bring.

They can try and battle for him, but it seems to be Almost done for him to move here, probably just needs to sign the agreed contract. All West Brom look to have somebody is enquires about him, we’re much further along than that- and we already seem to have beaten Burnley initially. Must be said though, 100k a week is mental money and this level and pretty unprecedented- though will be converted in part by the increase in sponsors etc I’m sure. Shame we won’t have him until January but I guess there’s not much we can do about that- may need a loan in the mean time though to cover him for 6 months? Though the daily fail article seems to suggest we’re trying to get him now, and West Brom would only move for him if he’s available now- maybe that and the fact DC have another forward lined up to take his place in Sunday’s game says something? Can't see where we have to wait until January is coming from, If the deals completed today he will be registered before the window closes. DC United have signed his replacement from the Chinese league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I have a different opinion doesn't mean I have low IQ. And I'm not after attention, thanks. Just expressing said opinion. So a player that played week in week out in a team that dominated top flight football at the time, became their record goalscorer and captain, won everything there is to win in domestic and european football. Became Englands top goalscorer and captain is overrated??? Overrated??? give me a break and don't hide behind the fact it's an "opinion", you are either a troll or you know absolutely nothing about football, and that's my opinion. do you think andy cole, Henry or yorke are all overrated too ?

DC United have signed his replacement from the Chinese league. Pretty much every news outlet other than sky has said we’ll have to wait until January. Of course we still have time to register him now, but it’s if DC will allow it. The deal being agreed for that other striker who would be designated player does potentially hint at maybe sky being right for once though. Let’s hope so.

If they're empty seats and therefore not depriving "true Rams fans" from attending then why not take their money? You never know, we might end up converting them.

dcfcreece1601 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Quite disheartened now hearing he won't be here until January, half a season gone then he will have to get used to championship football and adjust etc and not to mention half a season at his age is probably about 25% of his career ?♂️??????

Cant think of any others? Do you count loans and is it pre or post famous ? Beckham had a stint at Preston I think but that was before he got in the 1st team and met Victoria Hoddle was at Swindon, Edgar Davids was at Palace and I seem to recall got sent off at PP when we stuffed them 5-0. Wayne is right up there i must say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
