Ronaldo v. Rooney - The great Man U debate.
« on: December 28, 2006, 10:05:56 PM »
I am the biggest Man U supporter and i always getting in to argument with a pardner about the relative merits of Rooney and Ronaldo.  My view is that Ronaldo is proving this year beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a superior player to Rooney.  I just think that it is typical English bias that has cast Rooney as this great player.  I watch all Man U Prem. games and i think that while Rooney is a very good player, the hype surrounding him has long since exceeded his value as a player.  Last game was a prime example when Man U only came to life with Ronaldo's introduction.  IMHO Ronaldo has the potential to be the best Man U attacking player in my lifetime.  Rooney to me is very good but is not the savior of the English game like he is portrayed.

I actually beg to differ... I rather mark ronaldo than rooney. Rooney is more unpredictable and i believe technically superior. Ronaldo is very tricky but sometimes quite predictable. I think the big question is will England start Rooney and Defoe who i believe has the potential to have a great partnership. Ronaldo will make yuh look bad but if yuh trained to keep yuh eye on de ball,  not he foot and yuh have good timing yuh pretty much just have to wait for him to run line and wet him. Rooney is a boss and I am no big united fan but they are definetly ballin this year.

a personl technical ability is their ability to do things with the ball..though predictable rooney is NO WHERE CLOSE to ronaldo's technique....he is unpredicatable and a talent and by god a allaround player that he can run abck and make a tackle and then st up an attack....but he cant take frekicks...cross...corners..head...or dribble better than cristiano ronaldo ...cristiano is proving his worth and can become one of the best players ever to play for man united....added to which i dont think cristiano is too far form rooney on goals scored this season ..and im pretty sure he has assited rooney in many of his own goals

I don't think it's possible to compare men who play different positions. They both play according to what si required of them at their respective positions. Ronado's position probably allows for more flair ...... but to compare who is the better is simply rediculous. ManU running nice ball this year and Rooney and Ronaldo playing nice ball too.

Rooney and Ronaldo. Hard to compare the two. Rooney always seemed to be a kind of football "tank", powerful and hard to stop once he gains momentum. Watching Rooney draws you into admiring the unadorned precision of his technique and his burning desire to come out on top (sometimes making him seem overbearing).

Ronaldo seems like the opposite of Rooney, seeming to possess a "lighter" touch and more finesse. While it would be ard to argue that he does not want to get the ball and score goals he never seems to be as forceful a personality as Rooney (or is he just more disciplined?). Personally, I prefer to watch Rooney's style of play.

As a casual watcher of Man U games though, the man I enjoy most watching plying his trade is Louis Saha who to me me seems to just quietly take care of business with minimal fanfare or drama.
