in what way?

falcao and drogba are very different strikers my friend.

Falcao is nothing like Drogba.

He lacks everything of Drogba's all round game.

The only thing he has over Drogba is finishing as Drogba was never "elite" in that category.

Isn't Falcao more of a poacher? Drogba was nothing like that

I actually meant in the pedigree of striker.Not their games but their presence and image.

Lets face it for all the skills of van Persie and Rooney, Gervinho is a better international player than both.

champion all round striker

==========================

Why is a dreadful player like Rooney included in a list of quality strikers?

Rooney shouldnt be included in that list tbh. Tried telling the Mancs about a year ago that Rooney not as good as he's cracked up to be. Only now they've cottoned on seeing as they've got to see what a real world class striker looks like in RVP.

Rooney shouldnt be included in that list tbh.
---------------------------------------
I have also been saying this for years! What is so good about Rooney? seriously, I don't know, he is just an overrated English footballer.

Rooney is a good player yes but as mr chelsea said the likes of Van persie is on another level

Seriously Rooney never lived up to his hype. Other than euro 04 he's been crap.

Drogba was quality but he was more about strength, he could be a bit of a donkey, I've never seen RVP shoot and it go out for a throw-in!

Henry and RVP could make premiership all-time 11s, but I can't see Drogba in that list

Seriously Rooney never lived up to his hype. Other than euro 04 he's been crap.

==============================

Oh, and the season he scored 40 goals for Utd

Ok didi and that. 2 seasons out of whatever and he's as good as Messi/Ronaldo.

@Arsene Wengooner (U6031)

van persie wouldnt even make the bench for a premiership 11 ever.

cant believe u think rvp's achivements surpass those of drogba

RVP at his best is better than Drogba. And I think Drogba was fantastic.

Drogba>RVP as a premiership striker. Unless RVP has another 2 years like the past 2.

yea rooneys just a scrub.

you people dont realise he's a team player, he let ronaldo get all the goals when he was here, same as van nistelrooy, and then when they both left Rooney was the main man and surprise surprise he scored loads, now we have another amazing striker and Rooney is back to assisting more and still scoring

Rooneys been injured a lot of this season and still has about 8 goals and 8 assists (3rd in the assist table?)

Greg

Stop giving stats and watch Rooney play football, he's average

Woeful touch, can't dribble, excellent finisher (I'll give you that), no vision and has lost a yard of pace.

no vision

========================

Wouldn't say Rioney has no vision he has pretty good vision to be honest. Probably the best out of all English players. But his touch is absolutely awful. Few yrs back his touch was world class.

I actually watch United and don't just listen to bottom feeding pundits who think Rooney is the second coming of Christ.

Yes no vision, terrible vision. All he does is send the ball wide. He's good at that but it doesn't require vision, every footballer can pass to an unmarked wide player.

Players with vision can thread a ball through the eye of a needle and perfectly meet a clever run. 40 yard cross field balls are so overrated, the Rooney/Gerrard special.

Sorry, you've maxed up my bullshít limit for today, I'll have to leave you alone until you start talking out your mouth instead of your backside

Didi

so basically, you're giving up because you have no case?

have you watched Rooney this season?

Last season he was a beast, ill agree this season he's been fairly poor but he's had two injuries and out for about 4 weeks with both

Greg just admit it Rooney isn't what he's made out to be. Sure his team mates may appreciate him for sacrificing himself for team but if he performs like he did the season Ronaldo left, he'd be considered better by many. He's not even world class.
