Rooney is not going to the World Cup

[Guest Kev]

His foot will not heal in time for the second group stage now.

 

Defoe has been told to pack his bags but to keep everything quiet.

 

The newspapers are actually sitting on this as well.

 

According to the sources' source most of the England camp know, the press know, but they are showing some kind of solidarity towards the team and not releasing it until Sven does.

 

There is a large pinch of salt with this info, so take it as you wish. I'm not standing by it I'm just passing it on.

[Cobs]

if true they'd be best to release the info asap - let the press have their feeding frenzy over how 'we're all doomed' now and let the players get on with their preparations.

 

hang on - what second group stage?

 

[Suth]

its ok because pepe reina says Peter Crouch can do the Rooney role

There are Newcastle fans on the radio saying Sven should ask Shearer to go.

 

Ignoring the fact it's a ludicrous idea, isn't he injured too?

 

If he is then maybe he'll get the call.

Lineker is free as well maybe he can pull the boots back on??

There is only one man for the job

 

 

I'm just not sure which one?

The one on the right looks a little like Mr Caruso.

 

Who's it supposed to be?

It's the best damned waxwork I've ever seen then.

 

[Spike]

that is funny as f*** :lol:

[Frosty Jack]

It's been obvious since they mentioned that his injury included the joint, that he has absolutely no chance of being able to play. But yeah, Crouch can "do the Rooney role anyway".

Having suffered a fracture myself in early April (of the tibial plateau rather than the metatarsal) and learning a bit about fractures and breaks there is no way Rooney can be fit.

 

I have been told that fractures and breaks can take anything upto 26 weeks to heal properly.

 

On top of that the biggest issue is losing muscle in the leg when weight is not being put through it. you cant put that muscle back on in such a short time.

 

He may play but he definitely won't be fit. it will be a huge risk for the lad.

[R A Softlad]

Kev's source is spot on, so far...

[Rimbeux]

They're all in league with bookies i tells ya, that and they need to keep the story going for sales

[quibs]

If the media hype is to be believed looks like Rooney shouldn't have a problem of making it to the World Cup.

 

He was doing scissor kick in training.

[Stevie H]

there's a long way from doing a stupid scissor kick in training to being stamped on by a cynical paraguayan defender.

Let's only hope we get the opportunity to see the worthless c*** break his leg.

A match fit Defoe would only boost england's chance.

[Guest Kev]

Well we'll know soon enough I suppose. I was wondering if the press started 'bigging up' Defoe there would be a clue.

[Cobs]

from the footage on TV he looks like he's gonna be OK but i guess the scan may tell a different story.

 

Was shocked by the sense Gary Neville made in his interview, on boht Rooney and on England's chances in the Paraguay match etc...

Rooney's a United player, Cobs. As for asking the press to back off and let him rehabilitate, it wasn't the press that insisted on him being in the squad!

i know he's a United player - so what?

 

as for the Press - they were hardly demanding Rooney be dropped from the squad, they've talked of nothing but Rooney for the last 6 weeks.

 

Not sure what point you're trying to make in any case.

[Stevie H]

he's obviously going to go to the world cup come hell or high water. but there's no way on earth that he can be ready to play for at least another three weeks.
