Reading back through this thread is hilarious. The football’s not so much fun sadly. I think Rooney might almost be too serious and too earnest.
I remember a lot of the island boys who played in Japan initially struggled because training to them was throwing the ball around trying to do more and more amazing things to make their friends tackle thin air, whereas here there was a lot of drilling and drilling. I almost wonder if Rooney falls into the category of too earnest, too worried about his responsibilities to everyone and he needs a bit more of the ‘lads, it’s Spurs!’ Or some such carefree feeling with ball at feet.
On the other hand I heard he was the one who cut through the club cliques in the England dressing room so maybe I’m reading too much into things.
Marto’s call for Waine to go out on loan and start is looking better and better with the players ahead. However, a big part of it is luck and timing. And it’s a big long tough season. If he’s there who knows.
So to summarise I’ve said nothing and advocated nothing I haven’t massively hedged on. Sign me up Sky!
