Wasn't long ago that gills fans were creaming themselves over Rooney, remember one saying that Rooney was their best player, only since that contract rejection has he been "shit". But as has been said, he is young and raw so there will be inconsistencies with his ability, but he isn't the finished article yet, hopefully the finished article will be quality

Good player I thought, Di canio will get the best out of him still very young.

Looking at the Gills blog that was posted earlier, this looks like a buy with the future in mind rather than one to make our season this time around. Seems like he's not really established himself as a 1st team regular at Gills and has a lot to learn so guess we're buying for his potential.
Winger wasn't a position that Paolo mentioned last week when saying about the positions he needed to fill during the transfer window so I'm still expecting another 3 in before the next 2 weeks are up.

Mike Sullivan text me earlier saying we have an amazing player.
Reckons he will improve over time.
Reckon Di Canio will make him into a great player.

Rooney has bags of potential it just needs nurturing. I think Gillingham took him as far as they could tbh & Rooney knew that. But under Di Canio & Coaching staff they will make him the finished player he shoud be

Everyone keeps going on about him as a winger, but wasnt he playing in the middle against us?
And played very well.

Hessenthaler sounds as though he should be a famous German ex international that I should know about
I had to google him.

To be fair, as a player Hessenthaler was a bit of a legend. Remember watching him go past players half his age in the 2nd tier on TV. Putting other players to shame. Real old school, going at it 100%.

If I've got the stats right Rooney has played 20 games this season 7 off the subs bench. He has 3 goals 3 yellow cards and 2 reds. Hope Paolo can control his temperament. I guess Gillingham will put a clause in the sale saying he can't play against them in April.

Pretty sure they can't do that, only loan players. |
