Premier League Numbers And Stats

Rio Ferdinand has waited over five years for an assist, Daniel Sturridge had a pretty rotten 84 minutes, Wigan are great against poor sides and more geekery...

Well maybe pein and HarryBoulton would take Rooney but a certain red nosed manager would choose van Persie, so draw what you will from that. It seems Fergie even prefers Welbeck this season.

Isn't it a strikers job to score goals? so how else do u rate a striker? Rooney has been playing as a second striker for a number of seasons now, including this season while RVP plays as an all out center forward, yet Rooney still scores a lot of goals. and yeah I would take Rooney over RVP

I do wonder what criteria would be for assessing a defender. The colour of his socks, maybe. I've always had a problem with player wearing earrings. They're all terrible. Based purely on their earrings. You cannot be considered a great player if you have ever worn an earring.

In fairness to RVPs record last year - compare how many of his 30 goals were penalties, to Wayne's 27.

"It is not as simplistic as looking at who scores the most goals when judging a striker". But apparently it's a good way of assessing an attacking midfidler............ ;-p

RvP carried a mediocre Arsenal team on his own last season and has continued his form at Utd that is why he is rated higher than Wazza.It is not as simplistic as looking at who scores the most goals when judging a striker.Would any sane fan want Rooney ahead of RvP???

pein - because it suits their argument. Revisionism at it's finest. People will cut and paste selected bits from history to try and make their argument stand up to scrutiny.

@tonyv25 you make dislike Suarez but only a fool would deny his class

I really don't get why suddenly people' think RVP us a world class striker and Rooney isn't. RVP has had one good season(last year) and then half of this season and suddenly he's better than Rooney who has been banging the goals in since he arrived at United. In case u don't know RVP only scored 3 goals more than Rooney in the premier league last season(30 and 27)

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

R

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!

hat is arguably the least inspiring England I have ever seen. There is not a single name in that list that makes me think I might actually want to watch this team. Not a one.
