I’m a dcu fan since the beginning. Rooney at age 32 doesn’t excite me. Hell sell some tickets and get dc mire local media coverage. But if we’re really finally willing to spend, this is a dumb way to do it. I hope to eat crow on this. Why not buy 3 good players though?

Sorry Seba but my boy Donnie G needs to put butts in the seats of that brand new stadium. Don’t matter what the die hard, day-one fans and supporters groups want, it’s what SUM needs to fool the casual fan into consuming its product.

As @dcunited fan since ’96:
1. Not sure Rooney is what DCU needs on field but @BrianDunseth and @TMeola1 say he’ll help so open to idea
2. DC’s smart and sophisticated fans will fill new stadium w/good team, regardless of “names”
3. Rooney might help with new shirt-sponsor deal

Good Read Here.. Agree The Rooney Signing Would Be Far Too Shortsided.. If They Can’t Land Chicharito I’m Not Sure Why @FinallyMario Wouldn’t Be The Guy.. Only 27, Legs Aren’t Burned Out & Dude Tends To Thrive When He Has Little Help.. 31 Goals In His Time At @ogcnice.. #DCU #MLS

It may end up a disaster but as a dc fan it’s simply nice to hear the team being linked with stars (EVEN washed up ones). That’s how desperate we are!

Rooney is a good START not the last piece of a puzzle, hopefully DCU realizes that.

Let me be the last person to finally opine on Rooney: don’t love the cost but it’s not my money, have not really seen him play this year so will reserve on-field judgment, more concerned whether his $$$ limits DCU’s ability to get another young, high quality, big ticket signing
