You have no common sense.

No one ever asked Lewandowski, Aguero, Ronaldo De Lima and other great strikers to play out of position. You know why? Because they are bloody good at one thing - goal scoring.

Rooney was asked to play everywhere because his managers knew there was always one player in his team better at goal scoring than he does. I am not your biased goat who would put everything Man Utd over other teams because of club rivalry.

Aguero is heads and shoulders above Rooney - in everything. It’s not even close. Aguero scored more goals for City in 10 years than Rooney did at United in 13 years.

You are talking absolute nonsense, I mean absolute nonsense. The reason Rooney was played all over the pitch was because of his versatility, his movement of the ball and his excellent ability to find team mates with passes as well as his chance creation.
Rooney scores, create chances, passes, marks, orchestrate play and sometimes control games, he is a one of a kind. He is never a top striker, he was always the second striker behind a more traditional 18-yard box finisher in a 4-4-2 formation. Heskey, Owen and lately Kane for England. Van Nistelrooy, Berbetov, Chicharito, Welbeck and Van persie for United.
4-4-2 formations previously adopted by managers makes the 2 strikers basically share scoring responsibilities with the most advanced finisher ussually getting the most, Aguero in the city lineup or Lewandowski are always advanced strikers due to the sytle of play of the team. Rooney was playing in a position akin to Bruno Fernandes in recent times, or even Rivaldo or Lampard(in chelsea) before. The seasons Rooney was asked to lead the attack in 2021/12 and 2009/2010 season, go and check his goal tally. In terms of ability on the ball Aguero is no where near Rooney. Aguero will never in his life attempt the searching long pass Rooney delivered to Van Persie in 2013 to clinch the title against Aston Villa, and that has always been Rooney's landmark. Ronaldo de lima who you hail, go and check his goal tally even in his most prolific season. Please stop making emphatic conclusions on things you have not well researched. For you to say Aguero is better than Rooney in Everything is an absolutely nonsense statement. If Rooney was an Argentine, Higuain will never have benched him in the national team.

Here we go again.

You place over 1.5 for bet and one goal enter within the first 10 minutes.

Now, you're happy and hopeful that another goal go definitely enter..

But what happens?

Yeah right! The game ended 1-0

God bless MUFC

Waiting for Ole to lead the way with his wheelchair

This really confirm your knowledge about football is limited bro you don't watch football bro. All you do write english m not so sure you can even speak with useless sta and insulting everyone who tried to engage you in discourse. Watch live match

Aguero isn't Rooney mate as long as football is concerned. Rooney is 200 times high and shoulder above aguero as football is concern.

As striker you might say aguero is better with goal ratio but as footballer ROONEY 100 times player aguero was/us

This is useless comparison.

Rooney is overall footballer, he attacked, he defend, orchestrated attack, create chances. While aguero spend his time in 18 box waiting to be feed.


Rooney started as a striker but he spent his entire career been played out of position by Manchester United and England.

You wanna bring sta to argue your point ? Ok bring aguero assists compared to Rooney

Learn how to watch live football stop this stat of thing it is valid to judge players career achievement but it is irrelevant when it comes to player abilities bro.


If it is by sta players like Ronaldinho, zidane, iniesta and paul Scholes etc got nothing on other footballers

I never saw this before i responded to him, if not i wouldn't have bothered. That guy is talking absolute bollocks. How can a single person talk so much nonsense in few sentences.

izzou:


Aguero is a striker, and that's what he rooted his argument on.

As a striker, Aguero is better than Rooney. Which one is "footballer" again?

Give Aguero the ball and he would score. That's his duty, and not to defend, create chances, and all that stuff you typed there.

The guy's point was clear. Na you just dey dance around

He said Aguero is better than Rooney in everything. For example Lukaku scored more goals in ratio than Drogba, is he better than Drogba?

Mrcapability7:


Even as a striker rooney is more precision and deadly than aguero. Rooney can scored from anywhere in any situation even free kicks and heading.

Had sir Alex Ferguson used rooney as main striker as he did in 2009/2020 season when tevez and Ronaldo left rooney would have scored goals than aguero will ever dream of and it was only best goal scoring season he had in united shirt

When rooney was 17 years he was playing like current harry kane. 17 years old boy.

Even Guardiola will pick rooney as a striker over aguero

Put respect on wazza name. The best talent from England after Bobby Charlton

Aguero that Huguain shut out of Argentina even in his prime.

He was played all over the pitch because he’s mediocre at everything. Rooney is a Jack of all trades. While his versatility is an admirable quality, he’s not a master at any of the thing he does.

Rooney isn’t in the list of top 5 strikers in the history of the PL, Rooney isn’t in the list of top 5 number 10s in the history of the PL. Rooney isn’t in the top 5 of any football position in the history of the PL.

That’s exactly my point!

If he was a provider for all these strikers, why does he have a horrendous assist stat? Who was he assisting while playing behind top strikers?

Do you know how many goals Salah scored from the flank on his debut season? You people just like to gas mediocrity.

There is always an excuse for Rooney? Challenge his numbers as a striker and everyone quickly reminds you he’s not a pure forward. Challenge his numbers as a #10, and they tell you he’s a striker or a deep-lying playmaker stationed beside Carrick.

There’s a reason Aguero is heading to Barcelona at age 34 while Rooney wasn’t even considered good enough at Everton when he was 32. He had to run to MLS & now he’s retired while Ronaldo is still winning golden boot in Serie A.

De Lima won Ballon d’Or at age 20 and he repeated the feat at 21. De Lima scored 47 goals for Barcelona at the tender age of 20 - these are numbers Rooney cannot even dream of.

If Rooney was an Argentine, he would be playing Rugby for the national team. Rooney is a master at nothing and I reiterate the only reason he got moved around a lot was because he wasn’t particularly excellent at anything.

Rooney(the provider) never topped Assist chart in over 16 seasons in England. I ask - what was he providing? Was he providing passes that led to goals or expletives to the match officials.

You can put a poll up anywhere in the world, Aguero would be chosen before Rooney.

Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut so that people won’t think of you as being a stüpid fellow.

So that poorly put together image designed by a brain dead blogger is proof that Rooney was better than Aguero?

Unfortunately for you RooneyBots, there are statistics on the internet to silence this myth once and for all that Rooney is a better player than Aguero.


Aguero played half the number of minutes Rooney played in the PL and the Argentine was only 20 goals away from eclipsing Rooney’s entire career goals in England. Aguero arrived in the PL 9 years after Rooney’s debut.

Aguero averaged a goal every 128 minutes in his entire career to Rooney’s 1 goal every 192 minutes.

SMH!

Did they play in the same team and position? No.

One was being a 9 throughout with the league best AM (Silva) helping him. Another was playing all round supplying RVP passes from 60 yards, etc

How many goals did Aguero score for Argentina.

Anyway, FIFA XI and FIFA Ballon D'or top finish says it all. Good bye

How did Ronaldo outscore Rooney in 07/08?

Was Ronaldo a striker?

How did Salah outscore Kane, Lukaku, etc from the wing? Was Salah a striker?

Rooney - shit as a striker
Rooney - shit as a #10.

I peeped the statistically best seasons of selected PL players, as predicted Rooney’s supposed best seasons were at the bottom of the pile.

You people have no shame.

This forum must have the most hypocritical United fans one can ever meet.

If a Chelsea fan says Mount is better than Bruno, they would be up in arms, providing all kinds of statistics to show Bruno is better.

But if I use the same statistics to prove Aguero is better than Rooney then they tell you statistics don’t matter in football, that I should watch the game more.

If this isn’t mental retardatiön, I don’t know what it is.

It is now clear that your are out of your depth.
He is jack of all trade master of none? But he is the hishest goal scorer for both club and country.
He is not among the top 5 scorers in EPL? Yet he is only behind Alan Shearer in all time EPL top scorer. For the playmakers stats see Zidane and Iniesta.


In those seasons Rooney scored 34 goals apeice thats an excellent return for a top striker even though he didnt play there through out the campaign. Interestingly your Aguero never scored up to that tally in his entire career, infact for his 10 years at city he only scored over 30 goals just twice. Ronaldo de lima did 47 once and never repeated it, infact apart from that he never scored more than 34 goals in a season his entire career. Apart from his final season at Arsenal RVP never scored more than 30 goals in his entire career. It is funny how your jack of all trade and master of none could amass such a high number in the only season he was tasked to lead the attack.

That’s a damning indictment on United and England. Aguero spent 10 years at City and scored 260 goals for them. Rooney’s 13 years at United only produced 253 goals for United.

As for Alan Shearer and top 5 scorers in PL, you would expect someone that had close to 16 years in the PL(13 of those at United alone) to be nearer the top.

Van Nistelrooy scored 150 goals for United in 5 seasons. That’s 30 goals per season average. How many goals would he have scored if he had spent as many as 13 seasons like Rooney? You cannot use all time stats to judge how prolific a striker is.

Interestingly your Aguero never scored up to that tally in his entire career, infact for his 10 years at city he only scored over 30 goals just twice.

Aguero didn’t score up to that because he didn’t play as many minutes. It’s a disgrace that Aguero who was always hampered with injuries scored more goals for Man City in 10 years than Rooney did in 13 years.

And if you don’t believe me, let’s compute their goal/min stats in those 2 seasons Rooney scored 34 and let’s see who was more dangerous inside the 18 yard box.

CapitalCee:

Ronaldo de lima did 47 once and never repeated it, infact apart from that he never scored more than 34 goals in a season his entire career.

How many times does De Lima have to do it to be considered world class. Ever heard of personal best statistics? A striker at age 20 scored 47 goals in a season and you still asking for more?

The Jack of all trade who played billions of minutes in a top team should have those numbers. The true statistics is the goal/minute stats. If we put that here, you would be embarrassed to have even held a brief for Rooney.

CapitalCee:

Your other points are useless that deserve no response

Or you don’t have a smart rebuttal for them.

Rooney’s name didn’t even come up in the top 10 most prolific strikers(goal/mins) in the PL history but we should ignore it because there’s more to Rooney than stats?

If that’s true then Doucoure is better than Bruno, Doucoure’s stats shouldn’t matter because he does much more than Bruno.
