Rooney averages close to 30 goals most seasons and is always among the top of the assist charts. Great goalscorer, scores of great goals, works his socks off, leader, delivers in big games, super consistent for close to a decade

Sheriff, best comment I've seen from an opposition fan on Rooney
While I think Arsenal fans may go over the top on Koscielny, I wouldn't exchange him for any league defender bar Kompany, tbh. I think the real liability in our defence is Mert and our DM problems, rather than Kos.

I actually would agree about Mertesacker. He's gone from underrated to overrated very quickly.

To be fair that was a joke
The moment you tagged the Arsenal board, this article was doomed
Vincent Kompany's a magnificent defender and leader, one of the best in Europe, what a piece of business that was by City getting him for that price.
Koscielny's quite good by the current Arsenal standards. Sorry goooners, no comparison.
Just my opinion and on what I appreciate in a footballer, no particular order;
Hazard, Fabregas, Silva, Aguero and then one of;
Di Maria, Sanchez, Ozil, Kompany, Courtois, Rooney & Toure.
Keeper: Courtois
Defender: ???
Midfielder: Cesc, David Silva
Wingers: di Maria, Hazard, Sterling??
Forwards: Aguero, Costa?
So in terms of impact, I'd go with Silva, Aguero, Cesc, di Maria, and Hazard as my top 5 players.
I think cos Rooney hasn't reached the 'EPIC' levels of
Messi/CR7, that somehow Rooney is average?!
If that's average, with a record he has.
Wow, just wow. There are no words.
Rooney was England's worst player at World Cup. And he's nowhere near the level he used to be. That bit is clear. Keep listing down all the stats you want.
"Hmmm, but then if we sell him to Arsenal, he'd be a World Class sensation overnight. "
"That Guy Roo"
I like how you brought that up. Especially when one think back to the time Fergie tried to get rid of him over a year ago and he suddenly became rubbish and over the hill.
Our strike force ain't good. No denying that. But Rooney is just gash.

There you go
I'm not Rooney's biggest fan, and he does get overrated (though the hype around him over the last couple of years isn't what it was), but some rivals fans seriously underrate Rooney.

--------------------------------
Yet he set up one and scored the other of our two goals. Pretty decent for such a rubbish England team with a useless manager
If you can't appreciate Rooney's quality then there's no hope for you.
Kompany is one of the best centre backs in the league but is vastly overrated. He’s not a clever defender and lacks the anticipation of the very best, he’s also not particularly good on the ball, what he is is a brilliant athlete, his physique and reaction speed gets him out of trouble, you’ll often see him reacting to situations and getting important tackles in which makes him an eye catching player. Carvalho is a good example of a clever defender without the physique, he’d anticipate much better so wasn’t as eye catching but a superior defender to Kompany imo.
I don’t want to do Kompany a disservice, he is very good but many fans who see the big crunching tackles and last ditch efforts and don’t look beyond the PL will have you believe he’s the best centre back in the world which is wide of the mark.

He's not 'absolutely terrible'. That's his weakness yes, but when you've got Mertesacker you dont have to be

Considering he has a degree probably the cleverest defender in the Prem
Isle of Manc has to be the most blinkered of all the United fans.
Constantly rims all the United players and proclaims them as top class while he puts down and underrates rival players. Mug.

--------------------
You do if it's not Mert heading the ball. Why do Arsenal concede so many goals. I've never got the fascination with Kosh being this WC player. Him and Mert found a great partnership, which is greater than their parts, but both have serious limitations imo.
"Our strike force ain't good. No denying that. But Rooney is just gash."
Stop saying this, Dubbed. You really know it's not true. Rooney isn't the Messi/Ronaldo level that deluded people expected him to reach and even the likes of Zlatan, Suarez and Aguero put him in the shade, but he's facking class. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
