Thread: 2018 Summer recruitment

    I dont think its a co-incedence that Rooney's goal tally started to drop since he bulked up....he is just way slower now thanks to his mass.

    If he was to trim down and stop doing whatever protein fitness thingy he does, maybe the rooney of old can resurface.

    He has the answer to all his problems, stop creating muscle!

    Spot on. If we parked the hoofball and played through the midfield a bit more then we'd get the ball to our wingers and creative players and they'd supply Rooney to put the chances away. Instead we're relying on Rooney winning aimless punts up the field against giants and then bemoaning his lack of influence when he's inevitably snuffed out. The style of football seriously declined last year, and it wasn't because we lacked quality attacking players - we just bypassed them too often because the likes of O'Connor lacked the composure required to pick a decent pass from his defensive position to get the attacks going - Ryan Jack did this job because of how deep he played and anyone who says we didn't miss someone doing that last season is in denial.

    Is there any evidence that any other club have been or would be willing to pay a transfer fee for Rooney ?....or that anyone else has shown any serious interest in him ?

    I’m pretty certain that someone that has scored 110 goals in Scotland was put up for sale then some teams up here would be interested. Goal scorers aren’t that common look at the amount of strikers that Del has signed that can’t score.

    B.D.F.C. have something crazy like 18,000 season ticket holders too. They keep the prices way down , and that was the result.

    Still a hole though.

    When I went to Blackburn a couple of months ago I thought the Bradford fans were excellent. One of the best away supports ive seen

    And you think nobody would be interested in May or Cosgrove if they were put up for sale ?

    No idea. Your guess is as good as mine.

    Or do you know who signed him?

    In fact did Maguire (Phil) not sign for them from us and become a firm favourite. Am sure the Bradford fans will be hoping for similar. If only they knew though.

    Who would be interested in a striker with a strike rate of 1 in 38 and another that looks like his knee injury has finished him
