I've seen Rooney a couple of times live in the past few weeks and he's gave more goals away than he's help create, particularly against the mighty Radcliffe he was shite and outplayed by a certain Nicky Adam's, add to that he's a bad egg. Personally I think we came out on top shifting him on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level we're at now is dreadful enough. You're essentially a similar grade to park football there. Absolutely show pony him and we should have been embarrassed to try and build a team around him last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you are being a bit harsh considering he’s won POTS in this league twice. Doesn’t make up for being a twat mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly had the Billy big bollocks attitude about him and was sussed out and then canned, even by DU. The Turkey-teethed twat.

Sloshed Joe Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Junior Luamba continuing to start regularly for Salford alongside Matt Smith & McAleny. Don’t think he’s scored yet, but wasn’t expecting him to play a level above when we binned him off. Anyone wish we’d kept him on to play & develop in the NL?

Never forgave him for trying to lob the keeper from the halfway line when we playing atrociously away at Alty.

Any kid whose left this club in the last decade goes with my best wishes, up to and including Unsworth we've had a succession of managers who've played absolute cranks and borrowed other teams untried youngsters in favour of throwing 'one of our own' in. Most players don't show their best until they reach their twenties but many are wrote off here in their teens given little opportunity, it doesn't surprise me at all that some of these players go on and do just fine higher up the pyramid the EFL is littered with ex players deemed surplus. With regards to Junior he was raw but the best memories I have of him were winners at Scunthorpe and Sutton on two good days out following Latics in what were pretty dark times. He along with others who have moved on goes with my best wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in his defence he was coming through in, to put it lightly, a rocky period for the club, under a succession of managers, and was in and out of the team. Ultimately i think the move was best for everyone and I really hope he goes on to have a good career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The fact that we’ve had 30 managerial appointments since 2004 hasn’t exactly helped the development of young players & the period post Corney has been a total piss boil! I’m pretty sure under our new ownership things can only get better. I think it’s likely the likes of Luamba, Simms & Vaughan would still have been here under a more settled coaching environment. Fighting for league survival during two relegations and coming on for 10 minutes here and there when we’re chasing the game is definitely a pressure young players can do without! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the lad - hope he does well. But not many of us were shedding a tear when he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
