Manchester United Official Web Site - Club & News - News - Football News - 12:53:27 AM confirms the Rooney transfer!
RVN, Saha, Smith and now, Wayne Rooney. The last gasp transfer of the boy wonder some call Shrek serves up an enticing proposition - A competitive Manchester United able to fight blow for blow with the riches of Roman Abromovich and Liverpool's Spanish Armada with something akin to the firepower of Highbury's best!
The recruitment of Rooney offers Sir Alex a new dimension of options for example:
RVN - Rooney: with the latter playing behind the hitman
RVN - Saha/Smith - Rooney: in the case of an off form Scholes
Saha - Rooney: when RVN is injured - with potentially Alan Smith as the tip of a very attacking minded formation
Smith - Rooney: if we need some tenacity in attack!
And that is only covering the options with Rooney in it! With RVN, Rio and Henize staking claims to their respective positions, happy days are returning to Old Trafford.
It's even money if Rooney can fire up the imagination of the fans of the world's best supported club in so short a time as Alan Smith. However, his mercurial eye for goal and winning mentality will stand him in good company where others have failed. The question is - will 7 points be too much to make up with competition at the top being so close this time around?
