This is really odd season where even the rumor mill is dead.   :pint:

The rumor mill is just for humor actually. No one has actually been hired as a scout or let alone singed from our wishlist.

I know it won't happen, but I'd take 31 yr old Rooney vs a 30 yr old (real age 36) Sacha about right now.

Agree. 

 

Think Rooney will succeed big in MLS for a few years ala Robbie Keane.

Don't know man, he really never looked like himself at all this year.

Didn't watch him play. But hey, he's rated 84 in FIFA. At a £13m GBP, he was really making some dough. Not he'll come state side for even half. Maybe 5-6mil. We al know RB isn't spending money.

Remember, he's deeply indebted to us for the opportunity we gave his brother.   He'll come over cheap, as a thank you.

84? Wow, FIFA is pulling no punches.

 

He'll probably get more than that at Everton, and definitely in China. I'd be surprised if he leaves England, shocked if he comes to the US, and astonished if he ends up with RB. Sure would be cool, though.

Worked with Kljestan. Not so much with Kaka.

Rooney is the last person I want here. 

 

He may be 31 but he's a very old 31. Guy's been playing professionally since he was 17 and really hasn't had much of a break between club/England responsibilities. Watching him week in and week out I don't think he has it anymore. Time and the number of games he's played has finally caught up to him. He's going to go back to Everton because it's his boyhood club and it would be nice for him to retire there but I want no part of him in the league.

Maybe we'll get some trialists to come here since we're too cheap to scout.


Bump...

That's the point. It's self motivated. No one has to tell them to come; they probably just wake up one day and fly to EWR and get stuck so they decide to stretch their legs. Freddy Adu is probably doing tricks right now with RB2 on his way to South African Div 2 team.

Apparently a Colombian radio sports show mentioned RB specifically as the target club, but still seems real loose.

Which RB?
