Nor me now you mention it. I have just kicked the Mrs out of the house and told her she has had her last chance after yesterday’s arson incident. Romantic candles my arse.

G-Ram Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 After watching the interview id give him a go. We're under an embargo, he'd be cheap contract wise. He'd have a massive respect for Rooney and hopefully he could put his arm around him and get him going. Fergie said he was the best youngster he had ever seen. He's clearly a talent and wasted years of his career Because of off the field stuff. Not everyone has the best upbringing. I think he's a nice lad deep down, maybe learnt his lessons but was in with a bad crowd as a kid and the reputation sticks. Or squad is thin on the ground and i hope we can get him in and give him a run of games to get fit and see what he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club he's ever been at has banked on this...Fergie has made a career for him by saying this. Let's not be another club to fall for it. He's 28... and there's a reason why he's failed at every club he's ever been at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Can’t hurt to give a trial surely. Would need to think very carefully about handing out a contract (expect he will want more than CKR initial popcorn pay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 He's failed at pretty much every club he's ever been at and his attitude has been widely regarded as atrocious. He's basically stolen a living in a profession based upon a promise that has never materialised. I'd rather stick one of the kids on than give this time waster a shirt.

r4derby Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 While we still don’t really know much about Rooney’s ‘style’ as a manager, we do know a couple of his characteristics and demands. A big one is that players train hard. If Ravel comes in and does that, showing a desire to get fit and compete, he may well earn himself a place in the squad. If he then shows that he still has some of that fabled quality about him, he could even become a good player to have on match days. While it’s unlikely he will turn into a star, and is just as likely to train for a few weeks/months then leave, I’m interested to see how he gets on in preseason and if he really wants to play for us.

It’s actually a very fair and valid point U would hope at 28 he may have learnt a few life lessons and as u say with some proper senior pros around him in what is hopefully a tight knit squad he could be quite something if we can be the club to unleash that obvious ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 This shows how completely desperate we are as a club, without a pot to piss in and gambling in the last-chance saloon. We've been linked with him over the years and I've always been pleased we've never been so at rock bottom we've gone for him. I can no longer say that. If wishes were wings, pigs would fly. In this case it won't end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Sounds like he's had a troubled life. If he has reformed and atoned for his past crimes, I can accept him playing for us. If he's any good now is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason we gambled on Ibe, same reason we’ll gamble on Morrison, probably similar reason we are trying Duncan. We know there is talent there, it’s whether circumstances or luck can cajole it out in our favour. There’s a player there, but at face value a fair degree of baggage. We’re gambling we strike lucky.
