>Wayne Rooney thinks he was a better player than likes of Luis Suarez, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Del Piero & Sergio Aguero

Do you agree with him?

>>149396538 (OP)

i think its good to have some self esteem

Scored more Premier League goals than all of them except for Kane therefore he is better than all of them except for Kane. Simple as.

>>149396538 (OP)
the 2005–2015 era was probably the lowest point in football history as a team sport

>>149396538 (OP)
>Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Del Piero
He was

>>149396538 (OP)
he holds more calories in his body than all of them combined its not fair

>>149396538 (OP)
>Luis Suarez
No
>Neymar
No
>Robert Lewandowski
No
>Erling Haaland
Yes
>Harry Kane
No
>Zlatan Ibrahimovic
No
>Alessandro Del Piero
No
>Sergio Aguero
Yes

how can he be better than neymar? yes neymar basically retired at 25 and was the third best player on the team in his prime but did you see those tricks that lead to nothing?

>>149396538 (OP)
>Luis Suarez, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, & Sergio Aguero
yes
>Alessandro Del Piero
no

>>149396538 (OP)
Lmao this dude was already declining back when Suarez was a top scorer at Liverpool in early 10s. His peak didn't last long enough for him to be compared to anyone in that list, with the exception of Kane perhaps.

>>149396888
This.

>>149396538 (OP)
Aside from the African world Cup he was better than most, I'd rather have him in my team over any of those except kane, and del piero

>>149396538 (OP)
He's better than all of them except Neymar, Suarez and Del Piero

>>149396538 (OP)
In drowning pints and munchybox binge eating? I bet but football? Nope

>>149397066
He's better than all of them ESPECIALLY Neymar, Suarez and Del Piero

>>149396538 (OP)
yes, i'd say del piero was slightly better though

doubt they could do what he did with the same alcohol handicap

>>149396538 (OP)
Looking at his peak or longevity? Rooney fell off massively after injuring his ankle in 2010 and was physically done from about 2012. No longevity but peak Rooney is better than all of them except Suarez and Neymar although Nerman isn't a striker

If you're looking at the overall career I'd rather have Suarez, Lewandowski or Kane

How the fuck can one age so badly?

>>149397387
He looks the same as he did when he was 16. Wtf you on aboot?

Did he actually say that? I always thought the Rooney hype was just English people desparately hyping up their own talents like always. He's only better than Kane here and no one else

>>149396946
He was already at United for about 10 seasons when Suarez started scoring retard

>>149396888
correct

>Suarez
Peak-wise no, career-.wise yes
>Neymar
Not in terms of technique, but their primes weren't so far off
>Lewandowski
The Pole played for an unreal Bayern side. Not a fair comparison
>Haaland
So far, Rooney is ahead
>Kane
Rooney was better
>Ibrahimovic
Rooney was much better
>Del Piero
Not a fair comparison to Del Piero given his injuries. As is, Rooney was a bit better
>Aguero
Aguero is probably the most overrated PL player, which is not saying he was a bad player. Just inflated by the media.

>>149396538 (OP)
Aguero doesn't belong here at all lol, he was just dime a dozen PL starlet

>>149397640
>Aguero is probably the most overrated PL player
He is held up because of the big league winning moment, no one sees him as one of the greats

gooney is overrated, he did nothing after 2011

>>149397674
he played in midfield, something which none of the players on that list could do as well as him

If Rooney moved to Madrid or Barcelona he would be a legend to JFs. He's top 5 of his era.

>>149397387
he didn't age badly, he always looked like this

pissi cuckitini

>>149396538 (OP)
lol

>>149396888
This. Also Suarez at his best was better. Rooney had him beat for longevity though.

kwab

>>149396538 (OP)
in his prime? probably
but it was a short peak

>>149396538 (OP)
He never said that, another PL pundit did. Infact he dismissed the comparison.

>>149396538 (OP)
Not sure if he was better but at least on the same level when he was on his peak. That said, peak Suarez, Neymar, Del Peiro and probably Lewa were way better

>>149396538 (OP)
They are all hopeless fucking memes except Del Piero and Aguero (and he's on the way to meme) so maybe he has a point?

>>149396538 (OP)
The fire crackles as the children gasp in awe. Snow begins to fall outside the window the your tale comes to an end, but the youngsters are still thirsty for more. 'Tell us about the two he scored against Andorra again Grandpapa' one child begs. 'No, no! The legendary brace vs Kazakhstan!' implores another. The oldest boy pipes up. 'Be quiet you two, Grandad tells those ones all the time. Go on, tell us the one you promised us last time - the penalty vs Slovenia...Grandad..G-Grandad?'

The rocking chair creaks to a halt. A serene expression is on your face and all of Rooney's goals flash before your eyes in your final moments as the children embrace you. His one World Cup goal, The legendary double in Minsk. That tap in against Liechenstien. they know whats happening and are scared, but calm.

The last thing you hear as you slide into the black warmth of death is the youngest boy - old beyond his years, a football fanatic who spends every free moment outside kicking his battered leather ball against the wall 'Don't be sad, he lived a hell of a life...in the age of Rooney.'

>>149396538 (OP)
I think he had more potential. The guy was better at 18 than ronaldo.

>>149396599
this, other leagues are farmers and don't count

Usual suspects seething.

>>149397387
He was 13 then.
Makes me laugh all the chuds on here trying to play Liverpool off as some kind of bourgy ponce paradise. kek none of them would last a week there.

>>149396538 (OP)
>Luis Suarez, Neymar
no
>Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Del Piero & Sergio Aguero
yes

>>149398219
it was one of those retarded tiktok player stays on. he picked mbappe over him btw

>>149398659
>>149397640
>>149396888
zlatan was better than rooney desu, he scored almost twice rooneys career goals despite being better defensively.

>>149397640
playing for an unreal side is not an argument you wouldn't discount messi's career for it; theres a reason you play for a top team in this sport and its because youre a top player and its your prerogative to benefit from your teams play. bayern was built around lewandowski who they poached from dortmund back when he was scoring goals for fun against madrid in the cl. he was the best part of that team.

>>149397387
hes lazy and he drinks and eats like shit

>>149397387
people ignoring the real reason, irish genetics

>>149398946
I would discount Phil Foden's career for it.
