Morgan Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 34 years old? Try 54. It’s not even his own hair, for goodness sake. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Not getting promoted. Maybe avoid relegation though depends on points deduction for financial cheating. Quote

They are a bit better- they were in freefall before January. Rooney has brought them back to a level but he's surrounded mostly by terrible players, and a dreadful keeper. Quote

Last game before Rooney played Derby were 17th, 9 points from the Play Offs and 9 points from the relegation places. After the midweek defeat to Bristol City, Derby are 13th, 10 points from the Play Offs and 13 points from the relegation places. So safer from relegation but no better off in promotion race. Quote
Captain Lithuania Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Folk saying Rooney isn’t a great player. He certainly is at that level. Explains some of the stupid things people shout at Tynecastle. Some of you must sit near me. Quote

Oh no, miles off it. I think that they'd have kept going down the table rather than up it if Rooney wasn't there though. He's steadied them but they're still pretty rubbish. Quote
Henrysmithstaxi Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Will be Derby Manager next season when Cocu sacked at the end of this one, with them mid table. Quote

alwaysthereinspirit Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I think he's one of the top 25 players England has produced. Great goal scorer. Quote
AlimOzturk Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Rooney was shit hot and still good enough to play premier league Quote

Who knows what is in his contract. Derby are very ambitious and maybe thought he could get them up this season. But maybe has a release clause. Quote

They’re slipperier than Man City. They’ll keep dodging that bullet somehow. They’ll sell the ground again, rent it back, pay Rooney with hair transplants and get him to pay all the players wages with sauna visits or something. Quote

HardcoreJambo Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Can't believe Graeme Shinnie is playing alongside Rooney. Massively overrated player. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 If Derby are going to mount a promotion challenge, get a run of wins then beating promotion favourites Fulham tonight would be the start. Sky Sports/ Main Event 7.45pm. Quote

Bill Sikes Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Rooney was superb tbh. Derby clearly not going for promotion this season according to Phillip Cocu. Seemed confident saying it and obviously expects to be given time. Bit of financial doping gone on at Derby though so I hope they crash and burn. Seen Rooney live a few times, brilliant footballer.
