Where Are They Now


Recommended Posts


Aye. Folk are quick to say that he wasn't in McInnes plans so it made sense. Maybe it's time to start asking why the fuck he wasn't in McInnes plans when Cosgrove and May look utter dreadful?

This.

Lot of idiots saying that all Rooney does is score tap ins and pens. Would take a few of them just now.

 

As a side note what is mciness’ obsession with signing giant cumbersome lumps of wood masquerading as forwards. In his time here he has bought zola, stockley and cosgrove. Genuinely 3 of the absolute worst players I have ever had the misfortune to witness.

He's stuck in an archaic way of thinking. "the big target man, rough up the centre halves etc"  Most decent forwards these days have pace as their main attribute ( as well as knowing where the goal is).

The Rooney transfer (despite the calls by moronic types saying he only scored tap ins) for me is up there with one of the worst transfers in our history.

Not quite on a par with Dodds/Winters but bloody close.

 

ESPECIALLY given Cosgrove is the replacement.

 

I loved Rooney, he was limited at times but look at his games/goals record, then discuss. Cheers.

 

I was ok with him going because I thought we had something lined up already. What an idiot

When you consider we got Winters and still had Windass and even big Iron Mike Newall. With a team that included Eoin Jess banging in goals.

 

Now we have Cosgrove and May as replacement with Dom Ball as our majestic midfielder.

Rooney shouldn't have left until a suitable replacement was brought in regardless of whether Salford were going to pull the plug or not. The difference between a successful season and an unsuccessful one is worth a lot more than a couple of hundred grand or whatever we got.

 

Can't blame Rooney for wanting to leave though.  It was clear he wasn't going to be in the manager's plans.  Whether the manager is right or wrong on that one is open to debate.  Personally I think the change of style over the last couple of years has at least as much to do with Rooney's decline as any physical decline on his part.  Boyd has similar physical attributes to Rooney but Kilmarnock played in a style last year that played to his strengths as a penalty box striker.  They didn't use him as a target man or a striker on the wing like we did with Rooney.
