wykikitoon 16726 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Rooney is a great player, but shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Messi or Kaka in my opinion. Oh aye for sure, but does Kaka and Messi (not seen much of the latter tbh) graft when the team needs it? Rooney does thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19837 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 class on his day but he's definitely overrated by the english press because he's english. his technical ability is nowhere near the likes of kaka, messi or ronaldinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Great player in the wrong system imo Aye that Alex Ferguson is clueless I don't think they do make the most of him though. I know what Ritchie is trying to say, but you could also add Alan Smith's name to the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Great player in the wrong system imo Aye that Alex Ferguson is clueless I don't think they do make the most of him though. What is the best of him though? I have seen him play through club and country as a lone striker, a support striker and playing from a wide position (in a forward three for example). Again I will state that yes indeed he is a great player and him being a key player, regardless of how many goals etc he has scored, for both club and the English champions kinds blows out the water any arguments that he is not a top player. However I question as to regardless where he plays, if he is not at his very best, why there are always camps declaring hes being played out of position almost as a defence mechanism. I have seen it said for each of those I posted. I am now lost as to what his best position this is, at this rate maybe he should be playing right back.

I think he's best as a support striker with a mobile out and out CF. He hasn't been played there that much of late. I think he's wasted as a lone striker and out-wide.

Guest alex Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Ironically I think someone like Van Nistelrooy could be the final piece in the jigsaw for them. Not that there's much chance of him returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Being young, English, and gifted, he was always going to be overated by the idiot press. Like all hyped players, when I first heard about him I reserved judgement until I'd seen him in the flesh...and he was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Actually I think the way ManUtd play, a direct and high tempo style, suits Rooney perfectly. He is one of the few English players who does warrant the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 class on his day but he's definitely overrated by the english press because he's english. his technical ability is nowhere near the likes of kaka, messi or ronaldinho. His technical ability is one of his strengths imo, his touch and vision are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
