Rooney: Is He a No.9 or a No.10

[Action Dan]

On that level?I don't know what he is apart from a good player, but those levels? Nah.Would be better as an out and out striker, with his strength, pace and shooting ability.

[Aquaman]

lol at zicos pic not being in there

[Francis Coquelin]

any flamini playing off the striker

[OldSnake]

Well that's certainly not the rating Coleen gives his boat.

[Aquaman]

people alwaysntry bring statistics to save rooney.im pissed ronaldo aint leaving cos we woulda finally seen if rooney cud be the main guyany sideshow slob right now

[HangTheDJ]

When Ronaldo leaves next summer Rooney (hopefully) will be given Ronaldos free role.Right now United have the luxury of using two top class, if not world class players in Rooney and Tevez as work-horses to allow Ronaldo the time and space to get into the positions to hurt people.I honestly think that if Rooney had the midfield and attack built around him getting the time and space that Ronaldo currently gets he would prove without a doubt to be a world class player, and possibly getting similair results to what Ronaldo does.

[Samir Carlos]

Rooney is ANY Robert Earnshaw

[Stig]

i was sayin hes better off being a second striker/attacking mid like totti on here before,but i questioned his footballing brain and the temperament to play at diff tempos but man was sayin i was quackers he was running around at cm alot last season anywaysas time goes on i see him replacing scholes

[HBK]

lol@talking like Ronney wouldnt be on the pitch for any club team on the planet.

nahhh anderson will replace scholes mate ...rooney will fade away like stan collymore really

[Reuben]

also i thought everyone thought of rooney as a second striker thats why his goal scoring record isnt that bad a no. 9 = 1 in 2 a no.10 = 1 in 3

[Guest Sho'Case]

premature talkbut rooney needs to know his role in the sense,be more disciplinedhe does other team mates workand gets frustrated too quickly and can struggle to get in the game because of it

[darkman]

Rooney is never an out an out striker IMOBest position is behind CF

lol@talking like Ronney wouldnt be on the pitch for any club team on the planet.

[anelka]

Rooney is on the number 10 levelsHe scores goals (double figures every season at utd)Creates chances, skill, movement, touch...Fergie does put him wide sometimes but u cant complain coz they did the double last season wid dem tactics

[Lieutenant]

and his record is about 1 in 1.5hes never played central midfieldyou never find him thereleft midfield and sometimes right midfield i dont wanna see him anywehre near the center with his dumb antics like the penalty v pompey in fa cupalso totti has been playing upfront since 01 times and upfront on his own for last 4 seasonstotti hasnt played attacking mid since batistuta retiredalso when hes playing left midfield it aint cos of ronaldo its coz giggs doesnt have the leggs to track back

NO CHANCE!!his record aint even 1 in 2show me stats

[Ironman]

5 of the 6 of those guys could be considered GOAT,6 of the 6 are considered best of their generation,comparing him to them is silly really considering his age,yet his trophy cabinet is easily comparable.same old hate just a different day, Gooney is a no#10 just of a different mould.

[Trim]

actually i deaded myself misread it it just over 1 in 2 about 2.2still should reach 100 goals before 23and if he has a good season he is capable of 100 career league goals, will no doubt be on target to smash alan shearers record....

I swear this is his goal tally though Everton (15)Man U (53) England (14)so thats what 82 goals, 18 goals before october is a bit much to ask. He will reach 100 soon imo but not that soon. He would need 32 league goals this season for 100 career league goals, would depend largely on what role he is used in.
