*lets type this up: "He spent most of 2011 failing to live up to a £50m price tag, taking over 900 minutes to score for Chelsea. But his ability is undoubted: with confidence returning to his game, don't be surprised to see him rocket back up the charts next year."
How the fuck do they decide these things if Torres makes it? Not only makes it but comes ahead of di natale, sanchez and hazard?

Complaining about Rooney's placing when this dude is in the list is some serious fiddling while Rome burns:

Barmby-level performance, imo, flatters rooney somewhat
I know goals are only part of the equation obviously, but . . .
Drogba - 2004-present (7 seasons) - 98 goals - 14 goals per season.
It's ridiculous to say that Rooney's the 6th best player in the world, and just as ridiculous to say that he should be in the England side instead of Sturridge based on current form, but to say that he's been top-end-of-mediocre over the last decade seems almost willfully challopsy.

Not replacing Messi at the top with, I dunno Jermaine Jenas or someone is an abdication of duty.

id probably rate rooney at suarez' level or thereabouts, maybe 30/40ish on that list

That said, hysterically flapping because he's higher than some kid with an inflated price tag who's only performed in the French or Dutch league so far is nagl.

reckon suarez can still improve, wayne is never going to be as good as that goalfest season he had a few years back.
plus suarez is a lot more sporting and seems a genuinely good guy.

Would love to be a fly on the wall when Drogba looks at the list and sees himself 10 places below Torres though.

if and when rooney manages to combine a dangerous foul and simulate injury in a single motion, he might deserve some consideration

Tbf to Suarez, he does take the weight off his studs before Kompany touches the ground, and he clearly hits his head on the Sky logo on the follow-through. And the big #3 doesn't even look round or appeal, non-issue imo.
