Please God - Rooney, don't get injured
Discussion
My respect for Rooney has only gone up this season. He has really taken on the responsability and almost single handedly kept united in the title race and the biggest compliment is that United haven't missed Ronaldo or Tevez that much. If hes injury free, he will get more than 42 goals before the domestic season finishes, btw i'm a Norwich fan (my missus supports Chelsea, so i also pretend they're ok)
With regards to England, if he can keep his cool and not get frustrated, he has a real chance of being top scorer, just hope the rest of the team can support him.
He is an incredible talent and will only get better.

Its generally considered that most strikers reach their peak around 27-29. Hes had a storming season so far but lets remember that this is the first season hes reached 30 goals. If he hits 30 again next year and the year after then he will be the finished artical because its consistency that seperates the best from the rest. Take the likes of Henry and Shearer, for a good 4 or 5 years they were constantly at the top of the scoring charts. In seasons gone by, Rooney would score in streaks, so 8 in 7 games for example, then he'd go for 6 or 7 games without scoring, perhaps not always his fault because SAF played him out of position, but even so he would still blow hot and cold, this season its been consistent, now he needs to show it for a longer period than just 6 months.
Hes put a lot of work into improving his game, but there are always things he will want to work on and improve, his weaker foot for example (which is still stronger than a lot of premierships strikers favoured feet). Its the same as in any job, people always find something they can do better, and thise who do strive to improve become the best in world at what they do.

rooney's peak will be earlier than the average player his physique will see to that.
right now i honestly believe we are looking at the best player in the world and he's english.
i just hope and pray that fergie doesnt run him into the ground, manyoo are basically a one man team team right now and he knows it.

Rooney has matured a hell of a lot this season. He's taken all the expectations of United fans and gone one step further. But what i'm most impressed about is his mental attitude, you don't see him lunging in and doing hot headed stuff as much. Maybe becoming a father is the best thing thats ever happened to him
Anyone think, that with the number of headers he's scoring, Beckham has a much greater chance of being on the plane?
A few of his crosses were sublime the other night, the strikers made them look bad (albeit there was little incentive at the time)
I hope Cole gets fit.
I hope Rio carries on improving
I hate what that tit Terry has done, but he's the type of player I like, throw your head at feet, it scares people, puts them off.
I'd be happy with Becks on the right in all honesty. Lennon fit would be a nice option. Walcott all of a sudden showing signs.
Gerrard has had a poor season by his standards.
Exciting isn't it!

Fantastic player.
And you know, he seems a genuinely nice, down to earth guy aswell. Absolutely top bloke and I hope and I actually think he will stay at Man United for his full career.
I actually think this too.. He's got to the top, and he's going to stay there.And you know, he seems a genuinely nice, down to earth guy aswell. Absolutely top bloke and I hope and I actually think he will stay at Man United for his full career.
Does seem like a nice person too, and we've seen in his improvement he's very willing to work.

Fergie won't do that - but he will use him as much as he is able to before the end of the season. He also knows Rooney is going to SA & he wants him back fit & able in August so he won't be silly & he never has that I know of.Capello, on the other hand, showed a lack of judgement by playing Rooney for the full 90 minutes (near as damn it)against Egypt when he had a suspect knee. Silly and pointless.

Indeed. A few of his crosses were sublime the other night, the strikers made them look bad (albeit there was little incentive at the time)

All these great players though but I'd still like to see them player a bit more together as a team, we always seem to make so many changes even at half time let alone between games, be nice to one solid team with quality substitues if needed. Being spoiled for choice as it were can be counterproductive sometimes in my opinion.
