You guys are being mad disingenuous about this whole thing ,even in the name of bantz. Acting like you don't slander Roo yourselves each time he's out there playing for club and country and now you wanna act like a fan knowing no way would you guys want dude starting at your own club?

The reality of it is that Roo's been on a steady decline for almost 5 years now and it was accelerated after Fergie retired. Now why would a club look to extend or keep a player that demands the hgihest wages in the league for little to no return production wise? Just for sentimental reasons?

Sure he's a club legend and has had an incredible career at United but as Momo mentioned (who's a Chelsea fan btw),dude tried to force his way out on 2 occasions to a rival club,in each case it was Citeh and Chelsea, over higher wages and Fergie himself would've obliged if the club board hadn't intervened and given him that huge extension right before Moyes took over. You can't expect the club to bend backwards and go out of their way to keep him around when he's not even a key contributor anymore and is falling off physically. Now that the club is finally looking to be building a contending side, he doesn't have a place in the XI so if he feels like he can and wants to still play regularly, it's best for both parties if he found another club which seems to be what's going on.

It even seems amicable since no one has said anything negative yet.

It's not a coincidence that you only see 'Pool or the occasional Arsenal fans caping hard for Roo ,they enjoyed watching him holding the attack back over the last few seasons so of course you guys would want to see him stay forvever but don't fake the funk acting like you guys give a damn about Roo being "respected" or treated a certain way

If he still had something left in the tank,I'm sure he'd still be a part of the side. Just look at Carrick,who's even older than Roo at 35, who's still a big part of the squad and might get extended again this summer.

I do enjoy how much you guys care though ,spending half your footy related posts talking about the club you guys supposedly hate...we see you

LoL I guess youre just trolling cause you realized you would never be alive to see your club lift the premier league throphy

Were you a Chelsea fan before a Russian oligarch bought the club?

Be honest.

Not moving up a spot since October almost seems improbable

 

[sonoftony]

funny thing is Man U is 3 points away from jumping to 3rd over Liverpool and Arsenal, but keep talking ya sh*t though

Cut the gap to 2 points with 13 games left though while 'Pool choked away from 2nd to 5th in that same span

Pool has been **** since the start of the new year, yet we're still ahead of you bums.

It's all about how you frame the argument

 

[Verde Shuttles]

At this point how do ya think the top 6 finishes out?

Definitely feeling confident in making the top 4 at this stage, the race is probably gonna be decided in April and May when so many of the top 6 teams face each other. Just gotta keep pace until then and avoid L's

Only current top 4 side I could really see dropping out is Arsenal if they can't get it together soon

La Liga race is still on. That's why they say to never assume with the games in hand.

It's highly likely Barca will be out of the CL, and with no other cup matches before the league is over, and a Clasico remaining, RM can't sleep.

Atleti-Barca's gonna be lit this weekend

Glad you agree. Atleast you know about your dirty habits.

 

[cs02132]

United have lost one of last 25 games. Scored 15 in their last seven. Conceded once in last 10 and half hours of football.

and are still in 6th place

Jape never misses a chance

They're only a couple points off tho

 

[jking0821]

Atleti-Barca's gonna be lit this weekend

looking forward to it. Could give Barca that confidence boost they need if they can pull out a W. But hoping for RMs sake that Atleti wins

 

[Black Lotus]

Does Bilbao still follow the policy of only having Basque players?

 

[rolaholic]

Damn Claudio got sacked forreal?

They just got a decent result yesterday away in the CL

 

[dragicon]

^ I hope they get relegated

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Does Bilbao still follow the policy of only having Basque players?

"The policy is not written into the club's rulebook but was a philosophy of the club in order to promote local players.[5][8] It was initially intended that the policy meant that only players born in the Basque Country could play for Athletic Bilbao, but this later extended to at least one Basque parent, and further into great-grandparents being sufficient to fulfill the policy.[1 The policy also extends to Athletic's feeder clubs of CD Basconia and Athletic Bilbao B and to their youth teams."

Yea that's cold as hell sacking him not even a year after he did the unthinkable . I doubt it's gonna change much either
