Rooney wants out. It's official. The thing is though, who wants him? Not many people, apart from maybe Man City who'll buy anyone whose expensive and earns a fat pay check. Ever since the end of last season, he has been in free fall. Everybody realised this at the World Cup and the thing I really don't get is, if he's out of form and has off the pitch problems, why play him.
Both Capello and Ferguson seem intent on doing so and it's weird. Surely if a player's no good, you don't play him?? I think that it could be because they're scared of making Rooney a sub. He's got a reputation and they're worried that he might get pissed off (which he already is). Admittedly, Fergie did put Rooney on the bench against West Brom, but he didn't before and later brought him on.
If I were Rooney's manager I would leave him out of the squad until he's soreted all his problems out of the off the pitch then bring him back and play him not as an out and out striker, but as an offensive midfielder. Rooney has lost his crucial finish that he had last season, however he still picks out very good passes, so I think he would be more suited to playing in that position.
