Rooney using his head again...

[Warlord]

You obviously DO NOT READ WITH COMPREHENSION so you miss my point... but thanks for the advice . I'll file it under "G".

I think I read and comprehended your post well enough but hey if you think I didnt understand it then so be it. Youre entitled to think that. Good original post though. Btw, what happened to your boy Jason Scotland? I remember you saying that he was a solid player that would make it in tha premiership.

I would be all over him (i.e. marking him, in case some moron misunderstands me!) like white on rice.

Mek somebody else score but try to shut him down...isn't that where the goals are coming from?

Karl, how would you advise your Gunners , or anyone for that matter, to deal with the Rooney threat?

Football isnt played that way today. Havent you noticed that yet? The white on rice as you put it will get you burnt. He doesnt have to score to be effective. He can pass the ball very well under pressure and he can also release players very quickly. This isnt football from your time bra.

and yet hed managed to get an anelka, an henry and more recently an adebayor. how about van persie...btw how much did he pay for arshavin?

I think you really need to research b4 you start talkin son. Wenger paid Juventus £10m for Thierry Henry. Nicolas Anelka was £.5m, Van Persie cost £3m, Adebayor £3m. Arshavin was had for well under £10m.

My point is he doesnt spend over £10m for a quality striker. Can you dispute that fact? Every purchase he's made were for players who were in developmental stages..ie Henry, Anelka, Adebayor, then turned round and sold them. He's never bought the finished product.

Drogba playin' like him is 28... him could pull a Giggs?!

[Lazie]

i think DROGBA is the one dem need to figure out first.

Well at least Drogba soon retire!

Sometimes we seem to forget this youth is only 24,is best years are infront of him,he is a phenominal talent. 23 goals in 27 premiership games tells the story.

Hi!
Wayne Rooney scored couple of goal against West Ham United. He scored 27 goals in this season and he is also a top scorer in this season. Wayne Rooney is so talented and quick player.

Robotic response?
Just asking!

[Karl]

Man marking Rooney is easier said than done. He's been a handful for premiership defenders this season.

I do not believe in man marking! You cannot live in the mind of a player!
Man marking used to work when players were robots...unthinking zombies!

[Karl]

May not be the fastest...but his thinking gets him that 'first step drop' on the opposition...often!

...an yuh dun kno, he is no slouch when it comes to speed!

Just a great player! ...wish he was playing for my GUNNERS! We would be unstoppable! ...for yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars!

The problem is Wenger doesnt spend more than 10 million pounds for a quality striker. None of his current attacking options are world class. Its the singlemost reason why Rooney was never on Arsenal's radar to begin with.
