Rooney or Torres in your team?

[Skajo]

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.

Rooney. Torres in my opinion is to inconsistent and rooney seems to give 100% every match.

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.

[Minstrels]

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.

Take a long look at yourself in the mirror, Mr i who thinks that he knows it all. :rolleyes:

I was going to wright a long winded paragraph correcting your ignorance and lack of knowledge however I won bother. I've seen something which sums you up, you've just said sometimes it's not all about the goal scoring, I wont even bother reading on. We're talking about strikers here, not playmakers.

[Skajo]

Rooney is a class player I'm not denying that, I'm saying playing in a striker's role, Torres is a better player than him. You talk about injuries but surely that's got to go to Torres side that he's fitter than Rooney and less injury prone making him the better player to have in your team?

If Rooney had discipline, he'd be a better 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.

Rooney can play till hes 35, maybe 40, where as Torres, hmmm.

[Middlesbrough]

Shut your jibba jabba foo's

But anyway, considering Rooneys performance this season, how in some games he has scored amazing goals and in others stopped goals from happening, i don't know what it is with him but hes a really determined good player.

what the hell? where does that come into the argument?

[Portish]

Fernando Torres, no doubt.
