Is Rooney becoming overrated?

[Sir X]

it doesnt amaze me that the media has you brain washed , its all about english stars .

How they adore thier own , and rip everything else , case in point Drogba , talk about consistency in beinhg a top striker year after year season after season , and yet they rarely give him his due .Nothing against my boy Torres but Drogba is better than him ,and Rooney is no way near Torres.

Its all about consisitency and one season doesnt cut it !another point is my boy Gerrad , its been the worst season of his life , do we hear the British media calling for his head , like the youth Lucas , 2nd season and doing damm well.

Look at Tevez , taking west ham out of relegation, Man U to C.L and Prem league titles , and villified by the press.

Do you honestly believe Rooney is in the Class of

1)Drogba
2)Anelka
3) Torres
4) Tevez
5) Adebayour
6)Rooney, Crouch , Bellamey etc

All these men have consistency in the stated order for me Rooney would have to be 6.The Top 4 could walk into Brazil side. The 5th would struggle to make the bench.

lol...ok Mr. Dictionary.

Rooney is a very good player, period! He is the complete package and a coach's dream. However, given the choice here are 7 players I would select over him most days:

Ronaldinho (AC Milan & Brasil)
C Ronaldo (Real Madrid & Portugal)
Leonel Mesi (Barca & Argentina)
Kaka (Real Madrid & Brasil)
Iniesta (Barca & Spain)
Drogba (Chelsea & I. Coast)
Eto'o (Inter Milan & Cameroon)

Ronaldinho isn't a center forward. Rooney on the left wing supports his left back. Rooney starts over him.

Kaka isn't a center forward

Inestia isn't a center forward.

[Sir X]

How quick his stock will fall next season...lol memba dat !..lol ..probably by end of season....lol

[Jangle]

Xcuse, when are you going to free yourself of the hatred? Tevez, Adebayour, Crouch, Bellamy........? C'mon now, let's get real. Anelka also had ONE good season.

[Jangle]

Xcuse I hope you have a copyright on that song. You have been singing it since I joined the forum.

[Sir X]

If you say so , Man phew .

Stop the foolishness X! Tevez took MU to EPL and UCL titles stop smoke weed then post pon public forum. Man score 5 EPL goals and yuh ago talk bout ...

Rooney is Rooney what do you mean if he is in the same class as Rooney? Must be the weed. Ask Tevez who better ... him or Rooney. Ask Tevez who him missed playing with.

Ronney can tackle and defend, no doubt! But so too can Eto'o & Drogba.
Mesi and Iniesta will try. Ronaldo (like Ronaldinho) are fake tacklers at best and usually come up with ineffective tackles. Yet, I would still take any of these players over Rooney. That said, If I had to pick an eleven right now.....Rooney would probably be one of them.

[Sir X]

When you wake up what happened ? Deal with reality Lazie......I know the truth hurts.

[Lazie]

Futhermore Xuberant ... there has been numerous articles comparing Rooney to Drogba. Now if Drogba is being used as the benchmark, how is be not respected? Yuh see why smoking weed nuh good?

[Sir X]

Its an insult to even insinuate as such ! Thats the point ! Dont believe the hype.

The british media.

[Mosiah]

can't wait for the world cup when rooney will prove himself to be the worthy successor to pele and maradona!

Lazie, I'm going off what the columnist wrote:

"Following the Champions League last-16 first leg at the San Siro, both Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham lavished praise on the England forward, describing him as one of the best players in the world."

The writer spoke about "one of the best players in the world." As such I made my statement - not focussing on forwards/center forwards - but basically on offensive players inspite of position.
