There is no better candidate for England or United

Fak all to do with money. lVG picked him because of his attitude


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not for me. Think he would be first name as player last name as captain

As for lvg trusting etc not sure how much was up to him tbh. Rooney contract was done before lvg by moyes and there were rumours of him being captain even then. Like everyone else we can only go by what we read etc and if i recall being captain was on the table as part of contract

I remember people giving me grief as a utd fan about rooney doing transfers etc

What Rooney did in 2010 is worse than what he did when Fergie resigned. For anyone to suggest what he did was appropriate is an absolute joke. Questioning the ambition of the club and his team mates in public?

Give me a break.

I had hoped he would go on to be like Ronaldo but alas that was not to be. Still a very good player though

I think him as captain was decided a whole before LvG came in wasn't he? That or the papers all had a good guess.

Falmaria,

Who would you have had instead for England or United? Neither are filled with great other candidates
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tbh mate if they were filled with great candidates or leaders i dont think it would matter if rooney or anybody was captain

You guys could pick anyone as you have leaders in differrent zones

England may too to a degree but at utd we lost all and even say rvp who captained holland and arsenal is no good as captain. Great individuals but not organisers

The likes of rio and keane and giggs would go to players and cuddle and cajole etc as needed and take charge. Rooney and rvp simply dont and hav no one else who helps

Maybe when settled likes of rojo or herrera might. But not currently and you can see it

I'd stop reading red tops if I was you

You sound ridiculously gullible if you think Rooney has a hand in transfers - something he has already stated was complete nonsense

Think you misunderstood. The rooney transfers bit was opposition fans wumming

I dont like to advertise it but i do know people in football and have a retired PL player as a friend. And the contract negotiations and payments based on factors such as captaincy are not unusual

Of course doesnt mean happened with rooney but you cant deny that it was talk way before lvg took over

Or everyone is a candidate. Personally if fit carrick would be better imo

As i said though with rooney specifically he for me cant hack the extra limelight and functions better as a cog than main man

Carrick? Are you having a laugh?

I'm Carricks biggest fan but he nowhere near captain material. Rooney is a leader in the dressing room and in training. It's been mentioned plenty of times by other players. Carrick is mr quiet.

On the pitch you need to watch carrick and how he not only verbally organises but changes his game accordingly.

Rooney is no leader on the pitch he focuses on shouting at the ref more than anything else

In the chqnging rooms i dont know as i not there

Oh and as a regular watcher of mutv and seeing player interviews i heard multiple players say the most skillful player in training was nani and he is being paid to play abroad lol

LVG stated his reasons why he chose Rooney

It was because of his attitude in reacting to his philosophy

The Rooney contract including him being captain was made up media nonsense because at the time, Rooney was back playing great and they didn't have anything negative to write about him

I actually wrote a comment well before the story came out that people should expect the press to make a meal out of it because they had no other negative stuff to write. And they did.

I actually laughed when some were actually believing it

Anyway have to go macca

Just got to say your infatuation with rooney is unhealthy mate.

Agree to disagree

Rooney is captain. I'll continue to support him if Van Gaal sees him as the right man. In my opinion, he will grow into the role because he leads by example and is the heartbeat of our team
