    Maybe this has been discussed before,i'm not too sure.

    Who is the better CF?

    Since Torres has joined the EPL he has [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]70 goals in 113 games. In that same time,Rooney has [/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]71 goals in 131 games. This is arguably the first season Rooney has played as Utd's CF and look at the outcome.

    I've been debating on a fantasy football forum that i'm registered on and personally think that Torres is better.

    Opinions....

    This is a complete myth.

    I'd have Torres by a complete mile. I'd have Drogba before Rooney too.

    Torres by a mile.

    Rooneys a good player but the english are so far up his * and thats what makes him seem better than he is.

    Give me the choice of either just now and I'd take Rooney in all honesty.

    I don't mean to be a * about it, it's just that this season this is something in the English media that has really annoyed me. Rooney was signed as a striker, and has played as a striker for his entire United career, with the exception of a few (albeit big) games. Ronaldo was a winger, and played as a striker in a few games. The English media and a lot of United fans have used this as an excuse for Rooney not scoring a lot of goals in previous years. I don't see this as being arguable.

    It is this season and this season only that Rooney has been the spearhead of the United attack. He has played on the left wing on the right wing and in behind the main striker up 'til now.

    He played alongside Ruud Van Nistelrooy as a striker when he was signed. He has also played alongside Tevez, Ronaldo and Berbatov (I feel like I am forgetting someone else), but just because he plays as a lone striker now doesn't mean it's his first season as a striker, its just his first season as the teams main star.

    TORRES - for his striking ability. He's a far better striker than Rooney.

    ROONEY - for his all round ability. His work rate is amazing ATM.


    But for goals i would take Torres.

    I dont agree mate, people forget that Torres plays the long striker week in week out. I dont think I have seen a striker, maybe Villa, in the world that has the drive, work rate and determination to get the at every given time and work extremly hard alone upfront to create chances for them and others. P.s Torres is a great defensive striker as well his tackling is very good for a striker aswell.

    Torres is the better striker, Rooney is the better all round player if that makes sense.

    Torres for me. His work rate in always 100%, also he may he have a baby face and look like a pushover but he likes to put himself about. Both are great players but Torres for me.
