He might be useful, Has he got a class 3 overhead crane license and willing to work night shift? It's only a one year contract I'm afraid.

He can't get in the man utd or england team any more. In fact he hasn't been good enough for man utds level (which is below ours currently) for quite some time. It's because of his salary/reputation he has had to be slowly fazed out.

Why would you want to saddle our club with all that after seeing it actively be a huge mill stone around the neck of the previous utd managers?

I genuinely can't think of a worse signing (that people would seriously suggest) honestly.

Didn't he just score against us 2 weeks ago? If poch wanted someone with pl and CL winning experience, who would u sign in an area were we could do with cover?

Not sure what point your making here. I'm not suggesting Rooney as a replacement for Kane. More so as an experienced PL / CL winner who might add something different to our squad. Do you think Janssen will hit those levels ? If you wanted a CL PL winner who would you sign?

We are ready to win now. This team will be picked off by others in a few years and looking at the squad now winning experience it's an area we lack and adding it may help us. I see Rooney as more value to the team as cover than a Janssen at this point in time (i.e. Team which can win the title)
Watch us, watch Rooney now, there's a huge disconnect. Can see your point about experience and proven success, but Rooney doesn't fit the bill.

I don't agree with the premise of the question. Rooney as a player has gone physically he simply can't hack it any more.

Lol you may not agree that we need a player with PL/CL winning experience but my question was if poch did, who would you suggest? Better off saying you cant think of one.

Can't think of one we could afford. I'd even include Rooney in that assessment, and he wouldn't fit in our team anyway.

I've always liked him as a footballer! I still think he's a good player

We'd be better off signing players that improve the team rather than ones that fit this weird imaginary scenario you have come up with.

How is signing a player with winning experience weird? But i take that as no, you can't think of one.

This is like a signing from when Hoddle was in charge. Poch and Levy have a model and it's proving popular in a time when we're tightening our belts to pay for a stadium.

Let it go Robbiepope.
Hole/digging scenario now.
Concept of a player with winning experience is a fair one to discuss
Rooney that man? No
Others that we can afford and will fit in? Very limited.
Can you suggest another?

Agree.. More like an Edgar David's where his better days were firmly behind him.. Good character and great for shirt sales, but we've moved on considerably from these days.

You want me to put forward another to get shouted down when others can't ? Mahrez would be another one who would be different and has won something. Not in comparison to Rooney though who's won it all pretty much and probably has better leadership qualities whether you like him or not.

don't we have a summer wish list thread?. We could all start threads individually about who we want, it would ruin this part of the site.

Context is completely different, I'm talking about one player who might compliment / guide the amazing younger ones we have for a title push. I would also want us to keep buying the potential!

I looked and it was locked.
