Because he has been in the best form out of any English midfielder since the turn of the year? Something like 12 assists and 3 goal in 2016 more than any other midfielder we have including Alli
Just on a positive note we are one of ten teams in the football league, to have agreed to extend the new 'rooney' rule from academy to first team roles. Meaning:
During the season, clubs will be expected to interview one or more BME candidate for any first-team managerial/coaching role (where...
I can honestly say for the first time in my life that as a City Fan i can't see a future for our club. Despite the fact we have been two administrations, the Northampton move and Various other crap, I have always believed that as a club we would survive.
Now while I realise that Sisu have been...
What I have been told by staff at the academy, is that there are no plans to replace the indoor pitch, especially given the fact over half a million was spent last year relaying it. Wasps have said we may use the pitch 4 nights a week, Wasps intention i believe is too build on the massive...
Rooney is still indispensable to England, we need that experience and calm head in there who can create something.
We do have some brilliant young talent but most people are calling for ateam along the lines of:

How do you know that? If we had signed Ajose, it would have cost most likely around 500- 600k. Because this is the deal leeds wanted:

Rings a bell, thing you are right...we were able too, but it would have represented a huge chunk over our budget, which obviously TM didn't think was worth it.
Yes but clearly, we could have afforded Ajose given the amount of signings we made after being linked to Ajose, however clearly TM didn't think he was worth as much as he wanted.
Oh really what did they say? Do you have a link?
Edit Never mind just seen it

If true though, we have quite a nasty end to the season if predictions are anything to go by:
Charlton, Rovers, Walsall, Gillingham, Peterborough and Swindon. Could be quite nasty, but seems we do better in these anyway tbh.
Would be surprised if he is being released? He was their only real threat in the play offs, would love him here. Think he could get another championship club mind you.
I don't think It was Rooney, it was poor tactics. Kane and Vardy on the wings of a front 3 why? should have gone for a narrow diamond in midfield, Rooney behind Kane and Vardy,
