Wayne Rooney is no doubt one of the best players in the world and almost any team would love to have him.
I still remember Jose Morinho saying in an interview that the chances of Wayne Rooney leaving ManUtd (during CityGate) is very low but if he's available to please let him know.
Is Wayne Rooney paying for it now? Has Sir Alex really forgiven his prodigal son.
Let's take a look at the various positions Wayne Rooney can play well and he would prefer playing in -
Striker : Yes Wayne Rooney has been one of the most prolific goal-scorers over the last few years esp after the departure of Ronaldo. He has been the go-to man in this regard but now this season the gaffer brought in a certain Robin van Persie, who for me would be a better fit as a striker than Rooney.
Now let us think of a replacement for RVP - so our second choice would be Chicharito? He's another world-class marksman who with that footballing genius inside his little head is tailor-made for this position. Remember I'm talking of a second choice striker - and Chicharito would walk into most squads as the main striker itself so having him a replacement is not a bad idea at all. Also given his attitude, positivity and dedication - he's a boon to any squad.
ACM : Yes that's another of Rooneys favorite positions. He loves to dig deep and create goals, I've seen him doing that amazingly well over a few games last season too. In the summer of 2012, in walks a lean, smiling and lovable Shinji Kagawa - who with his charm and now with his skills has sent out a clear message that he loves that position and would go all out to make it his own. Have we found a new Ginger Ninja? May not be a no-nonsense tough tackling midfleider but definitely a player who has the skill to succeed at the biggest club in the world. RVP too can play in this positions.
Waiting in the wings we have another fabulous forward - with the work rate, strength, skill to match anyone else - Danny Welbeck. Having singed a new contract would surely be wanting to get as much playing time as possible.He's now among the main strikers for England too.
So technically Manchester United have 2 players for each position that Rooney would prefer to play in. Coming to the wingers - we have Ashley Young, Valencia, Nani and even Kagawa with the ability to cover when needed. Moreover though he would excel in such a role Rooney would not prefer being there unless necessary.
Moreover like I have mentioned in my previous blog (link here) - United do have an embarressment of riches when it comes to stikers viz. Rooney, Welbeck, Chicha, Bebe, Nick Powell, Will Keane, Macheda, Henriques and now RVP. So why RVP? Was he brought to please investors? (Link here)
Rooney though has been a team player and I seen him help in midfield and defense on occasions as and when the situation warranted.So basically Rooney has the ability to play in a lot of positions all around the park. Reminds me of a certain John O'Shea.
Coming back to Rooneys histrionics last year. Would Sir Alex ever forgive anybody? Is RVP the final piece of this puzzle. Is he on the way out sooner or later? IMO that's a million dollar question.
