Sexydadbod Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That's a fair point but Modric has been exceptional in the last few years. It's not easy to perform at madrid with their fans and press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I've seen Sanchez .But I'm not interested if he's Mexican or Chilean as its all South America to me.whoops Mexico is North America I'm watching you. Pedantic police are out in force.You could get away with 'it's all Latin America'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Then I don't know why they are quoting and replying to me. I haven't mentioned Charlton once. My argument is Rooney is not world class. Rooney perhaps isn't world class anymore - he certainly isn't a cemented world class player. However, he's been world class for a good period of his career. He's not the player he once was now, but he's had many years at the top level. It is an achievement to see him still at the top level, despite not having the impact he once did.

Brammie Steve Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I seem to recall entire matches, if not entire completions, when Rooney was not only anonymous but a liability in an England shirt. His work rate at times has bordered on the lethargic. When on for he holds the England team together but I don't see him as world class if by that we mean a player who would be in the starting line up of the universe cup for the Earth vs Mars game.the last world class player we had IMO has been Frank Lampard.

uttoxram75 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 isn't 'great' a measure of size? Effectively the biggest? Great, in common parlance, means err, great, smashin, super, that sort of thing which is fine. Rooney is all of those things in that context. But it doesn't make him England's greatest ever goalscorer, only the highest ever goalscorer. England's greatest ever goalscorer could be Steve Bloomer for instance, or Jimmy Greaves (as in goals per game played) rather than simply being the highest scorer. It is by far the most pedantic and ridiculous argument of all time tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Would any top team want a striker in their team that hasn't scored over 20 goals in over 3 seasons? NoMaybe they would if...His assists record is crazy for a strikerMake your mind up! Are goals alone the be all and end all or not?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
