I would without doubt go for Rooney. There is something about Rooney that i haven't seen before in any striker or attacking footballer. There is so many positive things that you can say about Rooney.

Torres is the same but lacks Rooney's determination and work rate. A partnership together would be a force to be reckoned with and in my opinion would be the best partnership the football world would of seen since the Andy Cole and Dwight York days.

You don't know what you're talking about.


Torres lacks the determination and ambition? Did you see him on the weekend? He was doing that for the 96, he's a Liverpool fan for life. I've never seen Rooney produce a goal like the one Torres pulled off to make it 1:0 on the weekend, it was truly splendid - a goal for the occasion.

A force to be reckoned with? Dear God, ask yourself two questions.

A) Why would Torres play for Manure with the same passion he does for Liverpool.

B) When would Liverpool fans allow Rooney to wear a Scouse shirt?

I pity you when you claim to be a footballing fan.

You are the most deluded, arrogant, cocky, thinks who knows it all football fan that ever I've seen.

You wouldn't last a day as a Football presenter on MOTD Or as a commentator because you talk so much jibba jab.

Wow, he pulled of spectacular goal over the weekend, Torres plays when he wants to plays, Rooney is different, Rooney always wants to play to the best of his ability and if we would to put Rooney and Torres work rate together i would without regret, put a Million dollars on Rooney to have the better work rate.

Now, let me get to the point. Why wouldn't Rooney and Torres be a force to be reckoned with? They have identical attributes.

Can you tell in which part of my sentence did i wrote "Torres would play for Man United?"

You are so deluded it's unbelievable.

All commentators speak ****.

Well, you're comparing like for like as a striker, so let's see;

2008/09


Torres; 11
Rooney; 9

2007/08


Torres; 24
Rooney; 12

As you can see, Torres is a much more prolific striker than Rooney. You could argue that Rooney plays as a AMRL/Fwd but I don't see it that way and neither do Manchester United on their official site (http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid=%7BFE60904B-C2A8-4E60-9B05-700DBBC29BBC%7D&section=playerProfile&teamid=458&bioid=91962). They see him as a striker and to score 12 goals in a 38 game season isn't exactly great. I see a great striker as having a ratio of 1 in 2 - that's a top quality striker and one that you can rely on.

One more thing that I want to raise is discipline. Wayne Rooney, so far, has picked up 9 yellow cards and 1 red as opposed to Torres' 1 yellow. To me it seems that Rooney's temper hinders his performance on the pitch and the statistics do really back that up.

So, to sum all that up, I would rather have Torres and I think every single football fan (apart from Manchester United fans) would as well. You cannot argue against facts.

I can see where your coming from about the scoring tally but sometimes it's not always about scoring, i mean Torres has got a better score chart to his name compared to Rooney in the League but you have to look at it, Rooney hasn't play as much premier league games as Torres last season - Due to Injury. Torres has played at least 10-15 more games in the periord of this and last season.

I don't agree the that EVERY single Manchester United would rather have Rooney then Torres, why? I don't know because Rooney is great player who has picked up supporter award last year, also the FIFPRO'S World player of the year and many other top awards so i think that says a lot about Rooney as a player.

Rooney - If he was to lose that temperament which he shows every game he wouldn't be the same player.

Torres has had a few injuries to his name this season.

Yeah, i think Rooney is a more of an Attacking forward rather then a striker but he can play really good right up front if he's got the support.

See now you're contradicting yourself. You said that Rooney's injuries had hindered him scoring more than Torres and now you're saying Torres has had injuries so surely that would hinder his scoring? In your logic anyway.

You may think of Rooney like that, in which case you CANNOT compare Rooney and Torres. Manchester United, however, see him as a striker in which case they can be compared, and Torres scores more than Rooney which makes him the better striker no?

As far as I can see it doesn't say in the thread title "who's the best striker out of Torres and Rooney" it says "Rooney or Torres in your team?" and for an all rounded player you'd have to pick Rooney, i'm not giving an explanation as I don't have to cause it's my opinion. Torres may be the better STRIKER but Rooney is the better all-round player, he produces magic outside of the area and inside and can do things with a ball that so many football players could only dream of, yes he may be a **** but it's not a personality contest or anything of the sort, it's simply about footballing technique and skill - so that's why Rooney gets my vote - no doubt.

Rooney or Torres as a striker in your team? Torres. Hands down.

It's funny how Manchester United fans (and Implement) say that they'd rather have Rooney than Torres. The fact is, Rooney is a striker. Torres is a better striker. Saying that you'd rather have Rooney because he plays out left is silly because he just takes up room for someone who can play on the left as a proper position. Silly if you ask me.

I'm not saying Rooney is terrible, but Torres is the better striker.

Its very close but I would pick Rooney purely because of his arrogance, determination & vision. If Rooney gets tackled he makes a point to try and get the ball back by chasing the player down. He may lack discepline but he's still young and knows his own talent inside out.

Torres has scored some fantastic goals this season and has proved he's a much better striker than Rooney. But if you look at the vision of the boy, he could make Bill Gates look like a striker.

The question is a hard one to answer, its not who is a better striker which would be torres, it is who you would prefer in your team.

Rooney is the better all-rounder imo and works brilliantly for the team despite a few moments of madness and can score goals. Torres is more of a threat but will not track back as much as rooney.

My ******* God.

So if you don't play Rooney in a striker's role, you're going to play him either a) behind the striker b) on the left or c) on the right. If he plays in those positions then he's taking up that position for someone who actually plays in those positions who are better at Rooney in that position. If you're going to play Rooney, you'd play him upfront. In which case, you'd pick Torres over Rooney to have in your team.

If you don't understand that, God bless your soul.

Implement
16-04-2009, 08:56 AM
Fabio capello plays him just infront of the AM and just behind the Striker. So you can't really call him either. Alex Ferguson gives him a free role but starts him mainly on the left.

I don't see what you don't understand about my opinion, i am ******* allowed one.

All i'm saying is Torres is a better striker yes, Rooney is a better all round player, e.g. passing, getting back and help defending, determination, passion. Now leave it please.

Skajo
16-04-2009, 09:31 AM
No, I won't leave it because it's not making sense. If you play Rooney behind the strikers which could be a Messi/Aguero role then I'd rather have either of them rather than Rooney because that's where they play, or Gerrard for that fact. Thus, better than Rooney in that position. Maybe if he consistently plays in that position for a couple of seasons then he'd become more acustom to the role.

Oh, yes, you are allowed an opinion I never said you weren't - this is a forum that's used for debating which is what we're doing so stop being a 'dictator' and telling people what to do and not to do.

My argument makes perfect sense. Rooney is a better all round player than Torres, but the fact is if you play him behind the striker there's a better player that plays in that position. Same for on the left and on the right. And Torres is a better striker than Rooney. So Torres.

The hypothetical question isn't "who is better", it's "who would you rather have in your team", so it does bring in the subject of other players. If the question was the first, then my answer would be Rooney. But it is not, it is the latter thus my answer is Torres.

Torres is the same but lacks Rooney's determination and work rate. A partnership together would be a force to be reckoned with and in my opinion would be the best partnership the football world would of seen since the Andy Cole and Dwight York days.

It doesn't say who's the better striker, or who else you think is better. so you argument is totally flawed.

Erm, unless I am actually blind my argument was who would I want in my team. I don't think you've read my posts so I don't know why you're arguing with me.

you wanted me to pick out the holes in your argument so I did so, I'm only doing as you ask, sir.

But your argument is hollow. For one, I never argued about who was the better player, I argued who I would want in my team. Then you come out with
It doesn't say who's the better striker, or who else you think is better. so you argument is totally flawed.
You're making no sense buddy.

now your twisting this into something else, trying to get at me whichever way you can, now you're trying to insult me byy saying i make no sense, when really all i did was miss out an 'r' at the end of a word, oh my god i got one spelling wrong! i forgot to put an 'r' on the end, please, shoot me.

No, I wasn't actually picking holes in your spelling. I meant what you said made no sense in relation to your argument. I'm trying to get out of nothing but before you make another post I suggest you go back and actually read my argument properly and then argue a point because you evidently have not.

Until then, I shall make no further comment on the matter. Everyone else knows my argument and you have taken this thread completely out of matter. Well done.

Who? Clowgon? No. He spouts **** cos he's an 8 year old trapped inside a teenagers body.

I can't say anyone else says that I spout **** and mean it. I know more about football than you, evidently in this thread, because you're trying to argue against facts.

BUT STILL, I'd like to see you point out problems with my posts, please. Or have you just made a false accusnation like always. Carry on walking.

Don't bring me into it "sunshine" You make no sense and no you don't know more about football then him. Your twisting the words because you can't a give decent explanation.

END OF.

All commentators speak ****.

Well, you're comparing like for like as a striker, so let's see;

2008/09


Torres; 11
Rooney; 9

2007/08


Torres; 24
Rooney; 12

As you can see, Torres is a much more prolific striker than Rooney. You could argue that Rooney plays as a AMRL/Fwd but I don't see it that way and neither do Manchester United on their official site (http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid=%7BFE60904B-C2A8-4E60-9B05-700DBBC29BBC%7D&section=playerProfile&teamid=458&bioid=91962). They see him as a striker and to score 12 goals in a 38 game season isn't exactly great. I see a great striker as having a ratio of 1 in 2 - that's a top quality striker and one that you can rely on.

One more thing that I want to raise is discipline. Wayne Rooney, so far, has picked up 9 yellow cards and 1 red as opposed to Torres' 1 yellow. To me it seems that Rooney's temper hinders his performance on the pitch and the statistics do really back that up.

So, to sum all that up, I would rather have Torres and I think every single football fan (apart from Manchester United fans) would as well. You cannot argue against facts.


No, please do. I'll be more than willing to correct anything wrong I said.

Torres is on 11 and Rooney is on 9. What's also interesting is that 8 of Torres' goals have come in the second half.

However, Torres' striker rate is 1.73 and Rooney's is 2.67 - a pretty big difference.

It makes for a good debate.

Which part of that argument doesn't make sense and I'll be sure to make changes to it so it does. Oh wait a minute...

I'm not talking about your previous posts. I'm talking your previous post before this. How can you possibly say you know more about football then him when you couldn't even answer him properly?!

******* hell.

He doesn't deserve an answer. His argument is about as hollow as a Kinder Egg. He was just picking, trying to cause an argument for some reason.

Of course. I'm not flaming anyones opinion of a player.

I think you are misled. Most of us are just passionate about what were are saying.
