Different player, Strain has a bit more guile but got to imagine you'll get 90mins every week out of Rooney I said this exact thing a few weeks ago. 6ft3, likes to get forward, chips in with goals but will almost always give you a full 90. Technically not as strong as Strain but definitely will be more available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a wee bit surprised he didn't kick on better in his career... until now. Welcome to the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjian Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I think that pretty much confirms Strain leaving now with Elvis and Rooney signing. As dissapointing as him not resigning, its good to see the club also not messing about. Will we keep Baccus or Hemming is the question now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Delighted to see the club moving quickly to replace Strain. Welcome to the best European club in Scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Rooney should be a great signing now that he's finally here - remember him being on trial with us under Ian Murray. Good to get that position sorted early. Thank god I was out last night. When I saw the score for the first time it was 2-2 and I was unimpressed so can only imagine how it was for those who'd been following it from the start. Glad it's done and dusted and we can relax a bit tonight. Hope Baccus and Strain can get a nice send off. I don't care that it's the Conference, that we'll probably get some team I've never heard of and I don't care that they'll inevitably pump us (well, maybe hold off on that last one), seeing us in Europe was one of the few things left on my Saints bucket list. Winning the Scottish Cup and one of our current players representing Scotland are probably the only things left on it now. Just a shame that my dad's not been around to enjoy the last couple of years and I imagine pretty much everyone else on here can think of folk who are sadly no longer with us to experience this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the party. He's a fucking idiot, that's why. He joined Fleetwood Town entirely because Scott Brown was manager, despite there being better and more sensible clubs to join. He'll be great for you and better than Strain IMO. Edited May 15 by RandomGuy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest apart from us, who else were interested at the time he went to Fleetwood? I'm pretty happy with this signing. Get's forward, has aerial presence at set pieces and chips in with goals. Strain must have been given a cut off date and that time has now passed for him to ponder on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 If rumours are to believed he very nearly signed for us before joining Fleetwood. Wondered if we'd be back in for him this summer, he should be a good signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice clean exit for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory Charlton, Hull, Rotherham and Wigan are the ones I remember being linked. 4 minutes ago, craigkillie said: If rumours are to believed he very nearly signed for us before joining Fleetwood.

He was always going to England after leaving us, unless Celtic made a move (which would never happen). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
