Richard246 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I still think there is a big name going to sign before deadline day. Mel is a incredible man and another one may come out of the hat?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it became known he was looking to come to Derby and didn't sign until January that would have given other teams the chance to approach him, then if had gone elsewhere you would be moaning that we didn't tie him down with a contract when we had the chance in August. Money,that's what runs football nowadays more than ever and it's a brilliant PR stunt. Sponsors/backers wanting to get on board before he actually starts playing bringing much needed revenue into the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 When Beckham signed for Madrid, they'd paid for the fee in shirt sales in less than a week. Aging though he may be, we as a second tier club have just signed England's highest scoring champions league player ever, think on that. Everyone, me included was happy when an aging Nuge signed, sage heads nodded felt his guile and scoring record would add something, it did for a while. It was a good deal for everyone. I loved Nuge, he lost his touch in his last months but was a sound signing when you look at it from a distance. Nuge was a 1980's XR3i Turbo But this isn't about Nuge, its about Rooney ? for sausage sake ….. We've just bought a Ferrari Out of date ? pffft pass me the keys and fire it up.

I suspect I'm going to be disappointed and this is part of the new Sponsorship deal. However, if it's bringing in the money, paying for superstars to sign and helps us move towards finally getting out this league then who am I to complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just watched a youtube reel of Rooney's best goals and it reminded me he is a great finisher. I imagine his fitness is still good, but my god if we just utilise him in a way to get him in a bit of space on the edge of the box he will be lethal. Double figures between January and May. Can only be a good thing him working with our midfielders and forwards too. In the past few years particularly Mel has really found his footing, and taken a club that has had its fair share of shambolic episodes in the past few decades, to a team that is talked up and profiled in a much more positive and respected way. Whether on the pitch, off it, or behind the scenes he is creating a great foundation for this team to reach the top flight and stay there. There will not be one player with a choice of clubs in this division over the next few days who doesn't choose us. Longer term I also imagine Rooney will have pull with certain players - could be very useful in that eventual first Premier League season to have a few Ex England internationals/United players scattered throughout the side.

Do you not think we have ramped up expectations? How can this be viewed as a success if we don’t get promoted? In order to achieve success you need good players and a good manager to keep them motivated. Rooney is CLASS, even at the grand old age of 33 he'll be the best player in this league. As has already been proven he'll also raise the profile of the club Worldwide, every Man U fan in the World will be keeping an eye on our results just to see how he gets on. (Admittedly nobody in Manchester will notice..) This added publicity will mean that more sponsors will want to be associated with us meaning we get more money into the Club. More money in the club means we can get better players who will also think that playing alongside Rooney is exciting and encourage them to sign. Plus he'll score a hat-full of goals, set up more and fire us into the Premier League. It's a magnificent signing full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your old man's correct. Mackay was as big a 'name' then as Rooney is now (but because of TV/social media probably not quite the international interest that Rooney has). Mackay was genuinely a great player. The impact he had in a fairly short playing time with us was considerable. The other players, many of whom turned out to be greats in their own careers were in awe of him. If Rooney has half the impact of Dave Mackay - and I would anticipate him having much more than that - at first team and academy level, then he will be more than worth it. imagine if you were Bogle and you knew that Rooney would be in the same side as you in 4 months. It would make you stop and think before you went to Villa or Newcastle; imagine a young kid with a choice of academies in the midlands - they're much more likely to pick Derby now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
