Wayne Rooney

As I have said he is a british style striker. Wouldn't fit this league where the style is slower and less physical etc. A class act in the Premiership though.

There is something to that indeed, but consider the pace at which Messi plays... And Cronaldo.. And they fit pretty well imo. Rooney I think would be a great addition to the squad in that he is a worker, and I am sure Pep would love that. What he'd also be amazing at is pouncing on Xavi and Iniesta's through balls, he'd finish like no tomorrow as well. Imagine having a beast like Rooney running at you full strength down the left wing, with or without the ball, he'd bring a huge physical presence. Henry would have to go obv but what about Bojan - he may too. I am sure though that Pedro would retain his spot. But it's a WC year and maybe Barca would need a bigger squad, as although Ibra will rest, Messi won't.

How will you fit Rooney Messi Ibra and Pedro into the same line up though? Thats difficult. Also Rooney is best in the centre.

 

[beef-supreme]

The same way we fit Henry, Messi, Ibra and Pedro + it will be in the aftermath of the WC so you can't play them as much.
But yeah you're right about the centre, you never know though, we could play a 4-3-3 with a narrow LW, to put Rooney closer to the centre? Dunno. I think that Rooney would fit just as David Villa would.

i'm not much of a rooney fan but i admire the guys determination and commitment. he plays the same way in the 1st minute & the 90th.

 

[Antimilan]

He is just... a great player !

He is very good these days. Thats all down to SAF.

Nani played well but it was a one off imo. Until he does that on a regualr basis, he will never be the player he was supposed to.

I couldn't care less about his appearance. He's phenomenal.

Leo, Roo, Iniesta, Cesc and Ronaldo are the 5 best in the world. (not in order)
