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. 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.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...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.
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.
minstrels and clowgons, your both wrong. It's a matter of opinion which everyone is entitled to.
Why flame on someones opinion of a player? pathetic
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.
