Sami Khedira

No.

Rooney is not the greatest striker ever, far from it actually but with him up front for us, im sure we'd be a much better team. He is much much better than Giroud and trust me i hate Rooney.

But how is he better?

I'd rather have Giroud than Rooney at the present moment. Rooney was a much better player a few years ago but looks to have burnt out early.

But how is he better?

Better technique, stronger, quicker, better goal record, big game player, better work ethic etc.

Would you rather have Giroud up top than Rooney? really? there are at least 10 strikers in this league who are better than Giroud! Aguero, Rooney, Sturridge, Dzeko, RVC, Lukaku, Bony, Remy, Costa, Negredo etc.

IMO if we signed any of the above mentioned players above we'd have a much better chance of winning the league.

I wouldn't swap Giroud for Rooney.

I wouldn't even swap Sanogo for Rooney.

I wouldn't swap Giroud for Rooney.

I wouldn't even swap Sanogo for Rooney.

[Marc Overmars]

Rooney was a great player but even some United fans have grown frustrated and fallen out of love with him. They've given him 2 massive contracts since 2010 and his form has been on and off to say the least.

I agree with some of your points but stronger and better goal record? Someone just posted he has a better goal record than Rooney in the last 2 seasons. So how exactly is that a better goal scoring record? I think they are equal in terms of work ethic, though Rooney has a much much better technique. As for big game player, I have seen Rooney do fuck all in many big games. He usually has a spurt of 6-7 games where he will go batshit insane and then we will just ride on the goals from those games.

I'm in no way saying that Giroud is the greatest striker in the PL. All I'm saying is that he also did not always have the best supply up front.. our football is a bunch of dilly dally backward passing BS. Give him a chance to play with quick counter attacking players around him and see him look like a much better player.

And give him an occasional rest too - that wouldn't hurt either...

If Khedira really is on £50kpw at Marketing then I wonder why he believes he's suddenly worth over three times that? As for Remy, apparently the stupid fuck wants £100kpw. These players want to jump to the end of the pay scale without delivering anything beforehand. They've started selling their arses on potential rather than results. Another gift to football from the chavs and gypos and now other sad, joke outfits like Monaco and PSG.

Sound like the sort of regime we've got running here with our socialist wage structure. But anyway, I think the new money clubs have played their part but it's the old clubs like Real Madrid that keep pushing the boat out further.

I wouldn't piss on Rooney's head even if his arse-hair mullet caught fire....but, he's the better player:
