IS ROONEY RIGHT TO STAY?
The view from Mars: cosmic insights from the football astrologer.

Wayne Rooney was worried. Would Manchester United win anything now that it appeared that they couldn’t compete with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Man City for the best (most expensive) players?

But did he really have cause for concern? maybe, but then again he could take some comfort from history: a good team has players who complement each other, said Sven-Goran Eriksson or as Sir Alf Ramsey famously explained to Jack Charlton (not the best centre half in the world, or even England) well, Jack, I don’t necessarily pick the best players...but you are quite a good tackler and good in the air, and I need those things...(what Alf really meant was he needed Jack to complement Bobby Moore). What Wayne really needs is someone to complement him (especially since Carlos Tevez moved to Man City) and can Sir Alex Ferguson provide that special partner. After all, telepathic partners have compatible cosmic links: not only is the star sign (position of the sun in the horoscope) important, the position of Mars (the warrior) is vital: e.g. Rooney (Sun Scorpio Mars Virgo) enjoyed a good partnership with Tevez (Mars Scorpio) and, if you remember, he did very well playing alongside Henrik Larsson (Sun Virgo). Instinctively Wayne must know that there is something not quite right in his link up play with Berbatov (Sun Aquarius Mars Aquarius) and, similarly, when he plays alongside Peter Crouch (Sun Aquarius Mars Aquarius) - for England - they look like strangers.

However, with Rooney as the main striker, Paul Scholes (Sun Scorpio Mars Scorpio) at the hub of the side, Rio Ferdinand (Sun Scorpio) at the centre of defence and Van der Sar (Sun Scorpio) in goal, United have a strong spine, but, you may be saying: yes, Scholes is important if United are to get the best out of Rooney, but Paul is coming to the end of his career, what then? Well, what about Darron Gibson (Sun Scorpio) stepping up? Whatever, you may also be saying, Wayne needs a strike partner on his wavelength, so? Well, Sir Alex could push Fletcher (Mars Scorpio) further forward, completely restructure midfield/attack, or better still sign a competent, under-valued, Virgoan target man – and Ferguson may just know where to find him.
