What has rooney done single-handedly for Manure?
Nothing!
For the records,RVP has an FA cup medal!
Both have won NOTHING for their country
Just my opinion though, RVP stands a better chance at the int'l level!

OMO IBO:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahha
dude, are you serious?
when i talk of a striker being good at defending i'm not referring to rugby style tackle which happens to be Rooney's specialty.

No we are not talking of Rugby tackles. . . in any case, most of Rooney's cards came from petulance other mistimes or missed tackles.
we are talking of timely interceptions. . . .neat and intelligence defence cover and also great defensive positioning.
Drogba is a poor man in these areas. . . football no be only gragra and chest trapping!!

@ tkb417,

Stop arguing. . . . . .Omo Ibo has no intelligence to be comparing Drogba to Rooney.
In 2007/8, Rooney completed his goal run against all the big clubs in the Premiership.

Till this day, Drogba is yet to score a league goal against Man Utd.
They are putting it down to goals scored alone. . . . .Since when? Who doesn't know the effect of goal assists in modern football?

Rooney is the better player. . . . .Only an idiot will fail to see this.
He is better than Didier and Nando as an all round footballer. Torres said so recently.

Krayola2:

This would make Lionel Messi and thierry Henry the current best strikers in the world. Better that Eto'o, Ibra, Torres, Villa . . . name it.
Shifting the goalpost could have absurd implications.

tkb417:

my own point is if Rooney has been deployed as a central striker all his life, then we wouldnt be having this argument

That is because most people on this sports section including you are idiots.
It took Ibime(your fellow Chelskite) to persuade you Nani is better than Joe Cole.

BlueDiva:

You're the bigger idiot.
I'm not and will never think Nani is better than J.Cole.

You're spitting trash.
Drog has not scored against United.
So bloody what?

All i know is Drog has scored more for Chelsea.
This is a man considered 'old'.
It should be a shame on Rooney being second best to an oldie.  

tkb417:

Krayola
Name                   Age                  Goals scored                Appearances                              Ratio
 Rooney                    23                     118                              319                                            0.36
 Torres                      25                     141                              327                                            0.43
 Drogba                     31                     167                              396                                            0.42

Now, Rooney (23), who has played more as a supporting striker and even sometimes on the flanks has 118 goals while a 'Torres' who plays all his life as a point man has 141 goals (never mind hes 2 years older).

You are the lamer here.
The excessive semen you lap up every night has clogged up your brain cells.

Rooney has scored more than Drogba. . . . . . .Rooney has 101, Drogba has 97.
He wore a Chelsea shirt before Rooney wore a shirt for Man Utd.

BlueDiva:

Thats what brings out the curves.  

Calculate the goal ratio my friend.

BTW Drog has spent more time on the bench than Rooney.

~Sauron~:

Rooney has scored more than Drogba. . . . . . .Rooney has 101, Drogba has 97.

Rooney has scored 84 goals for Utd. drogba has scored 98 for Chelsea. If I may ask were do u get your numbers from? they never seem to check out

That shows how much of a liability Drogba is to Chelsea.
Rooney has crept into the100 goals club. . . .Drogba hasn't.

~Sauron~:

So you were not alive when Rooney scored his 100th/101st goal for Man Utd against Wigan on saturday?

HNIC:

@Omo Ibo,BD et al
It's pointlessa rguing with the mancs
They just bring out stats and argue to suit their purpose.
We were once told here that Berbatov was rubbish(b4 Fergie forked 30m to bring him)
It was a debate btw Klass and Berba
Apache was the best thing since God created the earth.
Manucho. 'the african Pele' was better than all Arsenal strikers
Nani will be better than Ronaldo.
Now Shrek is better than Torres+Drogba.
When it's Shrek involved, dont look at the goals scored. look at the assists.
When it's Ronaldo, he scored 42 goals in a season as a midfielder
No one will ever do it till JESUS comes back.
Forget it men.It's a waste of time arguing

tkb417:

Krayola
competitive or not, Rooney has 101 goals

Krayola2:

maybe if u add a friendly u played against some team in hong kong. . . and some team in Naija

chic2pimp:

U peeps would not win an arguement with any man united fan boy. In their opinion every man united player is the world's best in their chosen position. According to them Van nistelrooy is better than henry,keane is better than viera,evra is better than cole,ronaldo is better than messi e.t.c

tkb417:

na by force? he has 101
see me see wahala ooo

tkb417:

you want to start another round?
lemme pick the easiest

. . . .
of course Roy keane was better than Veira
who d fck is Viera?

lets start another round

Krayola2:

@tkb 17
haha. . actually that post was supposed to read "94" for rooney.

Those numbers only include competitive games.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/stats?id=21046&cc=5901

add em up urselves.  I don't get my stats off tv commentators. i add them up myself.

tkb417:


Pool and Chelsea people can still talk
who is your best striker?
RVP?
dude is a dud when it comes to goal scoring

~Sauron~:

Van Nistelrooy vs Henry? Henry is the better footballer, Ruud is the better striker.
Keane vs Vieira? Keane shits on Vieira every day of the week. Vieira also acknowledged this in his book.
Evra vs Cole? Evra kills Ashley Cole offensively and defensively.
Ronaldo vs Messi? Ronaldo is the better all round player. He has more in his ammo.

HNIC:

Yet, last season
he outscored
*Shrek*-Your best player in the world

*Berbash*t-30 million pounds waste pipe
and

*Apache*-Your best footballer ever from s-america, better then maradona(until he left for citeh )

Only CR7 outscored RVP.

Never mind
For the purpose of this arguement
Goals dont matter!
****HISS*****

~Sauron~:

CR7 is better than any player that has ever played for Arsenal.[/b]No need bringing his case here.

[b]does henry ring a bell?
