Surely he'll start at Moor Farm in the autumn as a coach, plus training, then turn out on New Year's Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 tbf, he could come in his coaching role as soon as DCs season ends in October. Just wouldnt be a registered player until Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So confirmed then he won't be here until Jan. Watch him get injured playing for DC.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Sky might be wrong. I mean they were so on the ball with the time frame Lampard was signing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Became Englands top goalscorer and captain. 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 ? I don't really understand why some people assume you're a troll just because you say something they don't like. His domestic record is excellent and the ironic thing here is I think he could do a job for us (how much is up for debate), but the guy never turned up when it mattered for England in major tournaments. When we get a player that does how will he be described if Rooney is a legend? Master of All The Universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Maybe he'll be just the thing we need to stop the usual February slump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This therefore still means we need an attacking midfielder and a winger. Perhaps Rooney was the potential fifth player Cocu was alluding too?

Edtheram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Sky have said "Rooney wants to finish the season with DC and join in January" they also said "Rooney and his Reps are here to thrash out a deal". If Cocu and Mel want him now they could stand firm on the deal meaning he signs now maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So apparently he wants to play the rest of the season with dc??? Boringgggggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to score more goals in major tournaments as a striker than he did to be considered a legend. he scored 31 champions league goals, i'd say that was a major tournament, wouldn't you?

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I thought I heard he wants his contract terminated and to play here immediately? Would be a buzz kill having to wait until January TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see it imo, if a fee is agreed and personal terms agreed, but he goes back till jan, what happens if he gets a massive injury in his last game?, surely we wouldn't risk this would we?. Also what's the rush if we have 4 months to do the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambalin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My cousin who leaves in LA says that over there they expect him to be employed by Derby today and will leave Washington at the same time. Their transfer window closes on Wednesday and they have a player waiting to sign they need to sort out the registration s quickly and Derby will pay a nominal fee.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The fact DC have signed/ about to sign a replacement for him suggests he could be coming to play for us now not in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One WC goal and apparently he's a Legend. What low expectations we have. Still, go ahead and wet your girly little pants because we're signing a Man Utd legend. Whether he was overrated or not is irrelevant. He was winning major trophies and scoring more Premier League goals than almost anyone and scoring more goals for England than anyone. Last I checked a player like that in his prime would probably be hard for Derby to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah technically you could just sign him in the January transfer window so not sure why the deal would be done now but we wouldn't get him until january even though their season ends in October and he would technically be our player , the whole thing is just weird , hope it doesn't turn out to be a gimmick and he only comes here to be a coach in the end or something, that would some up the typical Derby disappointment ???

alexxxxx Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Dunno where this 'confirmation' that him joining in January is the case. Literally no need for him to come over today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyPride12 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Yeah it really doesnt make a lot of sense for him to sign but only begin playing in January. What if he gets injured? What if we perform ducking poo and are fighting relegation - would he really wanna come to that poo show? Why would DC be signing a replacement if he wasnt already coming? Hopefully Sky Sports source is just a guy taking a wild guess - how often are Sky Sports correct with there sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is closer to the truth. I've seen reports from journos over there saying that they have already got a players waiting to sign when Rooney goes. He will be here before January, otherwise just wait till his season ended in October to do the deal or even January..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If Coleen wants out and is “desperate” come home, she wouldn’t want to wait until January to do so. Plus, if Rooney was only signing today and then heading back to DC to finish the season, he wouldn’t have bought Coleen and the kids on the flight over with him!
