The players are in the middle of preseason still...

At this point the players are only just regaining their sharpness usually.. with players not really getting up to full speed until maybe 1 or 2 games into the season.

So im not gonna read anything in to his poor game thursday just yet, give him a while to settle back in and get upto 100%. He hasnt played regularly for a while.

I reckon he will be a great asset and play with more passion for the team than the likes of Ross etc
 

All sentimentality to one side – and I appreciate the power of such persuasion – I genuinely cannot see what he has to offer, or what position he is suited for/capable of improving upon.

On Thursday, he spent all the game almost like an impersonator trying to be Wayne Rooney, but fluffed his lines, offered nothing and had absolutely no influence or impact on the team or the outcome.

And according to all the hype from his advocates, this was the sort of match tailor made for him.

That home debut, against a distinctly average Slovakian team of nothing more than hard-workers should serve as a wake-up call to all those who claimed the second coming would herald a miracle.

He's a parody of his former self and on that evidence there's no way he's going to give us an edge against the six teams above us.


I accept that one swallow does not make a Summer – but three years of swallows makes him a truly perplexing, illogical signing.

If we sign Sigurdsson and a striker, there is neither the room nor the need for the 2015-16-17 Rooney in the team.

I'm prepared to give him 10-15 games before I judge him. Can't believe all the people on this forum that are already criticising all our players during this period of pre-season. I'm hopeful and I'm prepared to give him the benefit of my doubt until he manages to get to full fitness.

Rooney find Davies out wide, Davies burst past his man and finds a good cross to Rooney.... who slips on his fat arse
