I think until the Rooney situation is resolved (i.e. he is replaced by a decent striker) judgement must be reserved. The current period reminds me of just before Cantona was signed. United were boring, couldn't score, but were very solid at the back, conceding nothing. Cantona arrived and everything slipped into place. Luckily for Ferguson back then there was no transfer window and he was able to move for Eric in November. LVG will have to wait until January at the earliest. Not the greatest time to buy but they have to. Supposing Rooney was playing well - what would happen if he got injured for a time?
Wayne Rooney the scapegoat on here it seems. Before Eric Cantona arrived at United they won the Fa Cup 1990,Cup winners cup 91 and league cup,finished 2nd in the league 92. This United team will finished 4th at best this season and are unlikely to win a trophy.
