srsly
rooney is not as good as say nicky barmby, if you average it out over his career
feel the english posters need to acknowledge this and get some peace

the majority have p much always agreed with you? number none does the supporter thing that we all do but other than that, i dunno who you are addressing.

nick barmby, we all agree on this, explicitly?

Barmby's highs were lower but he was more consistent maybe

making a better fist of management than i can imagine Wayne doing tho :D
Rooney - 2002-present (8 and a half seasons)- 126 goals - 14 goals per seasonBarmby - 1991-2000 (9 seasons) - 47 goals - 5.2 goals a season.
Maybe pick someone else?

barmby was pretty good for lfc in 2001 treble...was weird when he got unceremoniously dumped after that.

“The fact remains that in Mancini’s fifth Champions League season as a manager of a club at the very top level of financial support, with a vastly expensive array of talent at his disposal, he has failed even to make it out of the group stage.”

Would love to see Rafa at Citeh with the full support of the board for just three or four more signings.

i won't pick anyone else, tbh. rooney has managed 14 goals a season as the focal point of manchester utd's attack, nicky barmby scored a good few goals in a career as a creative midfielder, or at best second striker, for spurs, hull, middlesborough, everton, lfc et al, none of whom were winning leagues or supplying their strikers with cronaldo et al at the time.
Barmby-level performance, imo, flatters rooney somewhat.

Reasonable Dutchman, emotional Latin stereotypes ahoy:
"If there was something unusual, Uefa should investigate what happened in Zagreb. My assistants have told me that the goals came quick and easy, because you can't normally score these goals in half an hour. But destiny was in our own hands … I will have to see video replays [of the disallowed goals]."The Lyon sporting director, Bernard Lacombe, said: "It's total rubbish, people should stop saying such things. Did they open an investigation at half-time when it was 1-1? I don't give a damn what the Ajax manager says. Apparently we are also responsible for the refereeing of the match in Amsterdam …"

well, at least we've never failed to make it out of the group stages
Is this true? I thought Arsenal always used to go out at group stages? Didn't you play your home games at Wembley and do really badly? I can't remember when this was.

"On this stage a 7-1 away win is an exception. Maybe I'm naive when I think it normally doesn't work like this, but if Zagreb gave the match away they should be punished," Frank De Boer said after a night that consigned Ajax to the Europa League."But I think it is hard to find any evidence in this case," he told reporters.

top ten is ozil, rvi, pique, silva, worlds best right back, villa, iniesta, xavi, cronaldo, messi.
so basically if real or barca didn't exist, they'd think rooney the best player of the year.
