Replacement to Rooney


Recommended Posts

So he needed a new challenge - after my 1st season. In which we won all but the UCL, made the semi's though. I had to sell him, sold chicarito too, Welbeck's just a back up to RVP who was a beast for me. Rooney was also brilliant, I had them working really well together but a possible replacement will be awkward as it is January. RVP for me does so well as an AF, Rooney was a DLF(s) and I need a decent, promising player to fill that role. Welbeck is flat in it, never really does much in the role at all.

I know I can search in game, its running as I write this but I want some feedback on people that have signed certain players, so I'm not wasting my budget on a guy that just ends up a flop! We haven't lost yet, 15 games in, thank's to form from Ayew, Valencia and Mata. But RVP alone up front leaves us limited and Welbeck as a lone striker is just a poacher, so it makes my side even more limited.

Kevin Volland and Lucas Pratto seem like good candidates to me, anyone had these 2 players?

Cheers!

Nothing at all constructive there then!

He needs development in certain areas but he is very capable at playing in the AM position or striker position with a bit of retraining, he's young and English (which is always a plus for United) and he's always turned out very well for me when I use to replace Rooney.

Im surprised you could sell Rooney. Ive never been able to give him away never mind sell him. And I think every save ive played RVP has been nothing but injured and I end up selling him for around £8m at the end of season 1 because thats all teams will offer.

best thing i would recommend is bring henriquez into the fold hes been amazing for me in the second season had around 30 games scoring 21 goals & 13 assists i had rvp tutoring him and hes just basically become a younger version of rvp thats not injury prone 17 finishing 14 composure just give both of them runs in the side couple of months each

He asked to leave and PSG were ready! I signed Volland, who did start well but rotating him and Welbeck worked really well. In the end they got just over 10 each in all competitions. Welbeck managed 17. Kagawa/Mata/Insigne were just unstoppable for me though, RVP was scoring/creating but them 3 averaged an assist a game and 7.7 and above. I worked hard on Powell but he never really does much and I spent time looking at him and what I could use him for/training him and he seems average but there's still time. I never ruled out him ever replacing Rooney, but I needed a player to do the job for half a season and Powell is nowhere near the standard required for the big games.

I've got solid back up now anyway, 2 promising youngsters and 1 possibly good one (regen youths in March) to work on as well as Powell and co. The one positive thing that I have with the regens is one of them is a striker. I'll be working hard to make him RVP's long-term replacement :D
