I agree. When Rooney was with the Metros, they did great. i think we should pick him up in the Supplemental Draft, but im not sure if we are cause of salary cap room. Could Rooney play wing? thatd be cool.
Rooney is feisty and aggressive, I have little doubt that he could crawl his way into the starting eleven. He still has a couple good years left in the tank, thats for certain. And even if he's not a starter, there are very few players who would make a better substitute then Rooney.
Does he have any juice left, and will be play for a reduced salary? I remember one incident about his stay with the Metros. He received a red card two games prior to the all-star break. Instead of taking an extended vacation for the next game and the all-star weekend, he signed a one-week contract with the Staten Island Vipers of the A-league. Scored a goal, helped them split two games, which eventually helped them make the playoffs.
In order for you to second it, I would have had to requested it, which I didn't. I don't see why or how Rooney would be a worthwhile addition to this team. We have something like 68 center midfielders right now, and unless he's willing to take P-40 money the use of a roster slot on another is redundant.
