Wayne Rooney in Football Manager 2009

In my experience, I’ve found that in Football Manager 2009 Wayne Rooney continues to be an important player for both club and country for many years to come. I think it’d probably be very difficult for any club to prize him away from Manchester United, but if he can be convinced to leave then he’d be a very valuable player to have.

Rooney is an incredibly consistent performer, and a 7 rating for the season can always be expected with Wayne Rooney. He’s supremely reliable, incredibly loyal, and it’s really very hard to find fault with the player that also scores a lot of goals.

Wayne Rooney is a brilliant player in real life, but his temperament has often been questioned; he does seem to mellow out in his later years in Football Manager 2009, but whether in real life or in a video game, the fiery nature of Wayne Rooney will never be completely removed. Rooney’s passionate play is his strength, and when you play with such power and determination then bookings are always to be expected.

Wayne Rooney is a player that is well worth investing in, and if you’ve got the money to splash out then I honestly believe that Rooney is one of the best players money can buy.
