I would be willing to put my neck out that rooney has taken over 20 more penalties than Drogba which would skew Drogbas goal ratio stats to be better than Rooneys even considering that Drogba has had to play under such clowns like AVB, Scolari, Uncle Festa and under ultra defensive Mourinho (since Fergie played nice super attacking footie)
If Zola was around now he wouldn't be as appreciated as he was. He signed for us during a transition which turned us from a very sub standard side playing average stuff into a 'european' side and was bloody good in the process. This is why he was voted our greatest player. I can't even be bothered to get into another argument of how you don't rate him because of his goal scoring record, despite the fact he wasn't a striker. The only player you denied from my list was Drogba. Explain how the rest weren't?
I meant its amazing that Chelsea have managed to get all their mercenaries to play as a team to even win the the PL and CL the number of times we have with 0 WC players.
I have to say, you Chelsea guys don't take stick well. You don't mind giving it but when its given back you all become pretentious little girls. Is it out fault yours so called best striker was a bit **** in reality and that your greatest manager ever is now in charge of Leicester, who are currently better than you? Is it our fault your current manager is having a breakdown? Is it out fault that your club is about to get sure for wrongful dismissal, is it our fault your current striker is a violent thug with very little footballing ability. I don't see how you can hold United fans accountable for your club being a laughing stock right now. You surely expected it to happen a few times during your 12 long years of history.
Yup Great team. Does it make Fergie a slight failure that with the numerous WC players you have that he only ever won 2 CLs?
Is it our fault you chose Man U to 'support' because they won everything and now they don't you've got the hump. You've never recovered from Moyes gate and turned into a right whiney humourless little bitch. Bring back Matth and lose this ****tard please...
The fact you think Zola was a striker is enough to dismiss any opinion you have outright. Perhaps you want to read Sir Alex's own views on Zola before spouting such tripe. He probably knows a little bit more about class than you clearly do.
i never called Zola a striker Did Fergie try to sign Zola when he was getting the boot at Parma, or when you guys had him. Clearly he'd of been an easy transfer to make happen, seeing as he played for clubs a lot smaller than us
He was still a forward, regardless of wether he was a striker or a 2nd striker, he still played in the attack, so 1 in 4 is a very average return. The best goal scorer around these days Ronaldo isn't what you'd call a striker, but it doesn't hold him back
Actually not - Rooney has 63 assists for that period vs 54 for Drogba. One in four for Rooney vs one in 4.2 for Drogba. Had this debate with Liverpool fans plenty of times in the past - between 2004 and 2012 no player in the PL has more goals plus assists than Rooney. As Drogs says, he was definitely world class in his ability to create and score back then, even if he has dropped off sharply since. Particularly impressive considering Rooney was a support striker for RVN, Saha and Tevez for much of that period.
