Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

He played about 30% of last season on the wing and was often played as a lone striker. Not exactly a fair comparison but I take your point.
Compared to Rooney? Who has spent a large part of his United career on the left wing and as a lone striker except when Saha is fit
You make a fair point about last season, no doubt, United are a better goalscoring team, but that doesn't necessarily reduce him as a player. A lot of players do better when they are the big fish in a small pond, as everything runs through them, Bent is a good example, just like everything did for him at Madrid. I'm not saying Torres isn't great, I'd like to have him in the United side, I'd just rate him behind Rooney and Van Persie. Torres has yet to show that level of quality imo, and so far as done about as well as five other premiership strikers. Form is temporary, class is permanent as the old saying goes. I've yet to find out if he is truly that level of class.
Also I think the problem Rooney has had this season is injuries. He started off injuried, the once he got fit, he scored 7 goals in 7 games, then got injuried again. He is now beginning to regain his form, at which point he's gona start scoring freely again. I said it after watching him pre-season this year, I think Rooney is gona have an incredible year for United. Rooney I think will win United the league (while Ronaldo wins us the CL :P)0 -

Scousers will try anything to have Liverpool ahead of Man Utd in a league format
I'd put Rooney ahead of Torres, but if Torres continues his form for the whole season then maybe
That could kill the thread, but yea, it goes from goals conceded from open play, to not losing a game, to not losing a league game, to least goals conceded, to most clean sheets, to most "jolly good sports" etc. 0 -
Tusky, I can't believe you have Doyler so far down your list tbh.
Yeah...I didnt really put as much thought into the bottom half of the list. If I was to be honest, Doyle is better than a few that are above him. I still dont rate him all that highly though.Compared to Rooney? Who has spent a large part of his United career on the left wing and as a lone striker except when Saha is fit

Yeah, fair point. As I said, Im basing Torres form thus far v the Rooney that I have seen for the past few years. If Torres continues in this form than I would rate him as high or higher than Rooney although there is no guarantee that this will happen. Its also a bit of a silly argument as Rooney is much more of a link man than Torres, who is more of a CF. Rooney has been doing it for utd for a few seasons now, Torres has only played half a season...Scousers will try anything to have Liverpool ahead of Man Utd in a league format

Bit unfair to be honest. This thread certainly wasn't intended to put Liverpool above utd. I think Utd are a better team than Liverpool. I don't see everything through 'scouse-tinted' glasses.0 -
