stevieb Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Rooney would have had a lot more love on here if he hadn't played for united. Or been scouse Or a granny shagger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 30, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2022 Gazza by a mile. But for injuries, Shearer was miles better than Rooney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auckland_bwfc Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Gazza. Better player Better bloke Better Hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I was always frustrated by Rooney because I never felt he was the player he could have been because he didn’t commit in the way someone like Ronaldo did. Imagine how good Rooney might have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how good Rooney might have been Yeah I think that too. Same with gazza. If they had their innate talent but coupled it with the absolute focus of Ronaldo it would have been unreal to see.

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted July 30, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2022 For Italia 90 alone its Gazza, for all his talent Rooney never took a tournament by the throat & made the country dream like Gazza did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did pretty well in euro 2004. Let’s not forget Rooney did it at both club and international level, you can’t compare that to half a dozen games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Paul scholes better than Gazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s not even a debate. Record scorer for club and country. ability wise it’s close but it’s about what that ability delivers over a career. would’ve been a different Gazza if he’d of gone to United instead of Spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Talent probably not a lot lot between them Rooney more of a goal scorer but the way Gaza could just drift past people from central midfield only maradona was better at that time . Definitely the best two British talents since George best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L/H White Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Let's have it right, Gazza is loved because he was a raving piss head and a bit of a boy His achievements in football isn't even comparable to Rooney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Harry Kane will take Rooneys all time scorer record and he'll retire with that has his only accolade. The dribbly chinned flannel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
