Lights on for Luke
Yeah I agree. Love RvP as well!Love RVP but this is an easy question.

Well yeah. He was better at just about everything. And he did it for longer. Not really absurd. Are you van persies mum or something?That’s absurd. Rooney was a better ‘footballer’ than RvP?
Yep.That’s absurd. Rooney was a better ‘footballer’ than RvP?
When we signed him he'd literally just been named player of the year after a 30-goal season.So many in hear picking RVP over Rooney should stop embarrassing themselves. Its not even close regardless of how magnificent RVP was in our last title winning season. Wayne was a key member of our dominance in 2006 till 2012. He beats RVP in basically everything bar positioning. You could argue technique but that's also what made Rooney exceptional and versatile around our attack.
This is yet another thread were we decide to disrespect Wayne Rooney unprovoked. One of our greatest ever players is being compared to another player that had a disappointing career till he joined us. Please stop, its not right.
I didn't know one season made a whole careers for a player that is supposedly supposed to be up there with Wayne?When we signed him he'd literally just been named player of the year after a 30-goal season.
He'd been excellent for years before that and was only held back by injuries. Don't disagree that Rooney's career had been more successful but the idea RVP's had been 'disappointing' is nonsensical.I didn't know one season made a whole careers for a player that is supposedly supposed to be up there with Wayne?
Yes.That’s absurd. Rooney was a better ‘footballer’ than RvP?

Don't get me wrong i think rvp was a really good player, its just that rooney was much better than him.
Yep.
Fair enough. I disagree wholeheartedly. I think RvP was better. I guess it’s all about opinion.Yes.
Agreed. Only ronaldo was better than him in arguably our best ever team. Scored at least 10 prem goals in 11 seasons running. Could do everything, which meant he often got shunted all over, because we knew he could cope and perform brilliantly in loads of positions. I think the only thing rvp has over him is first touch, everything else rooney was superior. He was such a complete footballer.Rooney.
His last few years clouding judgements here. Boy was absolutely marvellous.
I actually think his earlier career (2004 - 2008) was much better - Rooney's a really interesting player like that in that there's so many different opinions on how good he was, when he was at his best etc.I’d take Rooney probably but I think RVP from 2012-2014 reached heights that Rooney never managed. He was pretty much flawless for those 2 seasons, where as, apart from 2010-2011, I can’t remember a season from Rooney where was unquestionably world class. Think Rooney was more consistent over their careers and contributed to more trophies.
Yeah, I dont know why few said RVP was more talented, maybe technically better player and easier on the eye but Rooney was one of the best talents in the world when he was a young player.Rooney was more talented. RVP was probably easier on the eye.
I'd take peak Rooney over peak RVP.
Did Bryan Robson have a disappointing career?So many in hear picking RVP over Rooney should stop embarrassing themselves. Its not even close regardless of how magnificent RVP was in our last title winning season. Wayne was a key member of our dominance in 2006 till 2012. He beats RVP in basically everything bar positioning. You could argue technique but that's also what made Rooney exceptional and versatile around our attack.

How is a preference to one player embarrassing? And have you actually read the thread? Because the vast majority picked Rooney and of the one’s who didn’t, I can’t see anyone disrespecting him. This post stinks of arrogance.So many in hear picking RVP over Rooney should stop embarrassing themselves. Its not even close regardless of how magnificent RVP was in our last title winning season.
