Agreed, But I havent actually compared to Messi.
Ronaldo scores more goals, yes.
Passing? Vision? Workrate? Team Player? Big Game Mentality? Rooney wins.
Goals win games though, so there is n argument for both.

If you are going with that logic, then Arsen Wenger is stupid as hell because he didn't win CL in his whole career.

Fair comment anywhere else on the forum, but when the thread title has 'Manchester United' in it, you shouldn't be surprised to hear chat about their players in it.

He's laughing because Rooney supports and played for Everton. So for him to say anything good about Rooney would be impossible for a Liverpool fan....just the way it is unfortunately.

Well, I'm sure that Eddie understands that Rooney is a winner. And accepts the facts that not all can be losers like scousers.

Whilst I'm sure deep down he would kill to have a player anywhere close to Rooneys level at Liverpool. His hatred of anything United has probably surpressed those feelings so much, that to listen him talk about United's team you would think they were a sure thing for relegation next season....again just the way it is sadly.

Rooney is a great player no doubt about it, he is one of those rare molds of a playmaker and a striker. He has exceptional vision and passing but also has an excellent, powerful shot on him.
His main issue has been being played out of position and not having the right striking partner. Tevez and Berbatov both are similar to Rooney, Wayne needs a poacher to complement his role. Its not a coincidence that he instantly clicked with Chicharito, the kid complements Wayne perfectly and allows him to utilize his abilities to the max. He also had a great partnership with Ruud, and I believe Rooney would have been in much higher regard now if the Dutchman had stayed with United for a few more years. Rooney has also been played in the left, as a lone striker, and a poacher the past few years, all roles that don't suit him, he never had a true run of games in his preferred position.
Prepare for a beast-mode Rooney the coming years, his partnership with Javier will only get better, especially as the latter begins to mature and gain more experience.

Galning I'm 100% serious. There are so many players I would have infront of Cristiano that aren't better than him but I am serious when I say that Rooney is better. He always step up when his team needs him, does Cristiano? No.
He's less egocentric aswell.
I prefer to use Cristiano instead of Ronaldo. He might be confused with a real footballer. A real legend.
AI SOLO RONALDO.
Eddie seems to hate anything that is good in football. United, Barca etcetc. My hate is likewise with Cristiano. I hate him so fucking much.

Well written Catalonian Devil, another well thought out message. With everything considered I think next season could be Rooney's standout season of his career. He's just about hitting the peak years of his career, and with the perfect partner in hernandez, I think he could be devastating in the EPL next season.
