/end thread

Vanbis · 30-10-2009 5:51pm

Rooney

Fernando Torres.

The end.

Liam O · 30-10-2009 5:51pm

Drogba

oh dear god :rolleyes:

you know there is football outside the premier league?

Rooney still does more for the team and plays in the hole so shouldn't be included with these imo.

30-10-2009 5:52pm

Cocks out. 1-2-3-GO

Eire-Dearg · 30-10-2009 5:52pm

Rooney

Anderson.

GLaDOS · 30-10-2009 5:53pm

Rooney

Drogba is better all round but his attitude and play acting seriously piss me off so I picked Torres

why have some Liverpool fans just started saying random United players in threads? Have I missed something?

curry-muff · 30-10-2009 5:55pm

Torres

Torres is a good goalscorer but theres a load of other players id prefer to have in my a team, all depending on what team that is too of course, Ibrahimovic is one of the top because he is such a well rounded player with speed skill and work rate, then of course who wouldnt pick Didier Drogba, probably the most feared striker in the world. Rooney would be quite the nightmare also because of his work rate, you would need a defensive midfielder on him and not just a centre back marking him because they would be out of position all the time. Villa is about the same level of Torres in my opinion he doesnt have the strength of the rest but he makes up for it with his finishing skill and speed.

If i had to choose one it would probably be Ibrahimovic, Drogba a close second, porbably Torres 3rd

manutd · 30-10-2009 5:55pm

Rooney

Torres. Well it depends on what team it would be. Adebayour and Ibra close behind.

Boggles · 30-10-2009 5:56pm

Torres

Went for Ibra, he is on fire at the moment, would like to see him and Rooney up top.

Kess73 · 30-10-2009 5:57pm

Rooney

From what was on the poll list, I went for Torres.

Boggles · 30-10-2009 5:58pm

Torres

I noticed alot of Liverpool supporters are picking Torres.

He is already in yer team. So from my understanding ye shouldn't really pick him.

Also I presume Xavi picked Ade?

Can the poll be restarted?

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 5:59pm

Rooney

its not who would you want in your team that you don't have, its who would you choose in your team out of the above players. as you well know boggles.

Eire-Dearg · 30-10-2009 6:00pm

Rooney

Being a Liverpool fan, I wouldn't replace any of the names in that list with Torres. Simply because he's proved himself worthy when we're on top form, and when we're more than average. The likes of Ibra will flourish in strong teams with creative players around him. So will any top forward. But I doubt he would do the same job if you stuck him in the middle of an average team.

Boggles · 30-10-2009 6:00pm

Torres

Ball sack Al, thats not clear at all.

It will just turn into 400 votes for Torres.

Way better off sticking with my idea. As there is no point otherwise.

Pepe LeFrits · 30-10-2009 6:02pm

Rooney

Wouldn't mind seeing a front three of Arshavin, Torres and van Persie (or Theo, Rosicky, Eduardo, etc)...

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 6:02pm

Rooney

why is there no point?

already a good few Utd fans have chosen Torres & Ibra over Rooney....club loyalty isn't everything Boggles.

Thats because they already have fooking Rooney!!!

I picked Ibra over Rooney as a partner, not instead of him.

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 6:04pm

Rooney

i think people understood the option Boggles. i think they made their choice because they rate Torres & Ibra ahead of Rooney.....for example LiamO (utd fan) had no problem picking Rooney, Xavi had no problem picking Adebayour.

Balls.

I didn't understand. I want my vote back.

I'm starting my own proper thread.

30-10-2009 6:06pm

Is this assuming the other 10 players in your team as are? Or if one were to pick say Drogba for United, is that then assumed that he replaces Rooney or can he replace Berbatov?

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 6:07pm

Rooney

ffs, if a mod wants to reset the poll & amend the OP...fire ahead...i don't know how.

I had a massive problem with you feckin spelling it wrong though.

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 6:09pm

Rooney

i can never spell it right

sorry

One Cold Hand · 30-10-2009 6:09pm

Rooney

Well the OP says 'Striker', as opposed to 'Forward', not sure if that was intentional or not. For me the difference is that a striker is more about sticking the ball in the net, whereas a forward is a more all round player.

Anyway, went for Torres based on that.

Podge2k7 · 30-10-2009 6:09pm

Rooney

I wouldn't swap Torres for anyone!

redzerdrog · 30-10-2009 6:09pm

who is the best striker in the world end of ****in story boggles knew well what al ment coz it was his idea ffs he just being a dick as usual

No need for the personal abuse kiddo.

And no if you read my post I picked Ibra to partner Rooney.

Mr Alan · 30-10-2009 6:12pm

Rooney

boggles, do you genuinely think Rooney is the best striker in the world?

Boggles · 30-10-2009 6:15pm

Torres

Mr Alan wrote: »

I wouldn't swap him for anyone in the list.

All of them have failings including Rooney.

But for what he brings and ultimately what he has won, I wouldn't swap him.

So I suppose the answer is yes.

And by the way, I think everyone on that list is world class or there abouts. Not picking Torres or Drogba does not mean I think there shíté.

Nalz · 30-10-2009 6:18pm

Rooney

Can I take Rooney and Torres?

Personally... I think Torres, but to have the two would be class.

30-10-2009 6:22pm

Rooney

this is my order of preference.

Torres
Villa
Drogba
Ibra
Rooney
Eto'o
Adebyeour

Frisbee · 30-10-2009 6:22pm

Torres and RVP up front...

*drools*

NaiveMelodies · 30-10-2009 6:23pm

Honestly cant believe so many people choosing Torres..

The timing of this thread is a HUGE factor so Im taking it with a pinch of salt.

I did the same, i dont see the point in this thread turning into a club loyalty thread, it would have been oh so easy to pick the only united player on the list

Then Fabregas and Arshavin around him. Good god that would be phenomenal.

You'd have to have decent back though, sicknotes.

Frisbee · 30-10-2009 6:28pm

Also regardless of when this thread was I was always going to be picking Torres, with Ibra a close second

Bendtner, Eduardo, Walcott and Vela would be grand for cover

Side note Frisbee, but do you actually like/rate him?

Yes, he gets massive amount of stick, and probably isn't a leading premiership striker, but he's only 21, and is grand for a back up.

I think he'll be quite capable of leading a line within the next few years, technically he's very good and when van Persie calls someone 'One of the most technically gifted players he's ever worked with' I'll have a little faith.

Had this poll been made after the United Tottenham match, im sure Rooney would have a good few more votes than he has.

Had United-Liverpool not bein playing on the weekend and instead everyone watched the Barca Zaragoza match, Ibra would be streaking away with this.
