Fergie was merely stating various qualities of various top players which he thinks Rooney has, he wasn't saying Rooney was a better player per say. He mentioned that Pele could 'look after himself', anyone who saw the 66 World Cup will know he was kicked from pillar to post and ended up injured as a result. I think Rooney has the capability to be the best English player bar none, but ask me in 10 years time by which he should have achieved something on the world stage to earn such an accolade. I think Maradona was a better player than Pele who never played in the real top European leagues during his career as Maradona did with success.
Eusebio was a fantastic player and easily the top European striker in the 60s, he'll be somewhere at tonight's game...
To quote Alan Partridge... 'he must have a foot like a traction engine'... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVxf0YjyjdI
This thread is pathetic who ever made this. an you read? Sir Alex said rooney's similar to pele, at no point he said he is better then pele. Go learn how to read before you make thrreads like this
I was told that... Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, Shanks said no I don't think so... etc....
I notice Rooney now blows kisses at the crowd when he scores a goal instead of swearing into camera (personally, I'd rather he told me to f*ck off , I mean, let's face it, Rooney in smooching mood is not a pretty sight even with hair). Those that are charitable, will give fatherhood the credit for this change of attitude - and those that are cynical will go for the 2 match ban for abusive language...
Hi Berbnanidez , What is the Sun? is it some kind of paper for northern folk? if so it must have many pictures in it for them up there to look at? But back to what I said, Rooney still can not put two words together! And why do MU fans who are on our post like to forget he is from Liverpool! God bless you all for that. By the way are the MU fans coming on to post , live in Manchester or in London , etc. ae we all know not meny fans in Mancheester are there? but lots all over the world. Thatis where they should stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off for a large bottle of water as still on the tabs till this Sunday, (not the paper) So good night all and a very good one to all our superhoops chaps!! Keep the faith, have a bottle of rum, from Jim Lad!!!!!
