FixedTo take the piss out of your obsession over a balding, chubby 31 year old man, who is our all time top goalscorer, captain and highest earner.

I'd be perfectly fine with that. He's done what he's had to do.Who will be sold in the summer, because he's shit.
Glad we're on the same page.I'd be perfectly fine with that. He's done what he's had to do.
So what do you think really top 50? Top 40 at a push?Yet quite possibly not in our 30 best players of all time.
30 is being generous too.

Our joint highest ever goalscorer, yet wouldn't make the top 30 players the club has ever had. Yeah that seems reasonable.

Out of interest have you actually thought this out, by that i mean do you have an actual list of 40 United players that you seen play regularly who you think are better than Rooney or was that just an arbitrary number?Personally, he would be around 40.
No white text, no intentional bias etc etc. Would he be a better player than Rio, clearly not. Funnily enough he has more goals than Rio.
Tbh, I don't think anyone can dispute his ranking achievement wise but putting the whole career into context I can see why he may not make the top 20 players of many lists. 40 is a big reach but I'm sure you know what he means anywayOut of interest have you actually thought this out, by that i mean do you have an actual list of 40 United players that you seen play regularly who you think are better than Rooney or was that just an arbitrary number?
Yeah just a bit.Tbh, I don't think anyone can dispute his ranking achievement wise but putting the whole career into context I can see why he may not make the top 20 players of many lists. 40 is a big reach but I'm sure you know what he means anyway
This Sparky fellow might just hate Rooney even more than the others on here and that's saying something.Yet they say it's nothing personal.
Back to "he's a brilliant player" crap.
An absolute dead weight for 3 years. Thats reality.
A goal that he shinned in by all acounts?
Good performance at home to Reading, even you dont love him that much?
the absolute state you've gotta be in, pal. Keep on rockin' in the free world.A shinned goal was better than Bergkamp's/Le Tiss's of this world?
Yeah ok.

I don't hate him, honestly.This Sparky fellow might just hate Rooney even more than the others on here and that's saying something.
Objectively speaking, what are you basing those on?OK, not gonna enter into huge debate on each selection , ive tried to be objective so here goes. I'm not going to include the likes of Dwight Yorke as that would be taking the micky as he only really had 1 top season with us.
First 20 - No particular order
Robson/Keane Scholes/Giggs/Beckham /Charlton/Best/Cantona/Schmeichel /Rio/Vidic/Irwin/RvN/Edwards/Law/Ronaldo/Pallister /Vds /Sparky /Carrick.
Objectively speaking, what are you basing those on?
Because objectively there's just no argument for at least half of them. Won less, played less, scored less, assisted less, contributed less, left for other clubs etc etc.
Seems pretty far from objectivity, though I appreciate you only said you tried.
You already had Vidic.The next 20 , far far FAR more touch and go. I ACCEPT that 100%
Vida/Buchan /Taylor/Yip Yap/Cole/Stiles/Butt.
OK, I'm stopping there as realistically Rooney would be 24/25 on my list. As I say, it's nothing personal I've just never rated him (aside from first 2 years).
Thankfully.So you would have Rooney in front of some of the first 20, that does surprise me.
And that's it ,my 5 posts gone.
No way they should be higher in the list than Rooney.OK, not gonna enter into huge debate on each selection , ive tried to be objective so here goes. I'm not going to include the likes of Dwight Yorke as that would be taking the micky as he only really had 1 top season with us.

RvN was a legend but yes he really can't be a bigger legend for this club than Rooney. As for Ronaldo, he had 3 seasons where he was a mixed bag and 3 sensational seasons. He kicked up a fuss and left the club to spend his best years (and 300 goals) elsewhere and yet somehow he's higher up in the list than RooneyNo way they should be higher in the list than Rooney.
Not to take the piss but when you said you wouldn't have him in your top 30/40, I really thought you'd be some 80yr old who'd seen the busby babes days and was actually looking forward to seeing your list.OK, not gonna enter into huge debate on each selection , ive tried to be objective so here goes.
