When I look at some of these ridiculous comments about the likes of Rooney or Hazard..it just reminds me of why I should only enter this thread around match days....
Oh word? If we consider players like Drogba, Henry and others to be legends,what's wrong with calling Rooney one? (Not taking anything away from those guys,they are legends imo) Dude is gonna end up as the all time scorer for both club and country on top of winning literally everything in club football...cmon Coupe . I'm not arguing that he's ever been at the Ronnie/Messi level,I never believed that myself but he was top 5 at one point imo. A countries best player in a generation usually ends up being considered legend status...no matter how much you hate the country or what it stands for .
He's scored 20 more than twice though ,you probably meant 20 in the league. His goal numbers could've been higher imo but he played in attack with some of the best attackers of his generation (RVN,Ronnie,Tevez) so the goal scoring duties were always shared during most of his prime.
I know I don't have much of a leg to stand on given the current incarnation of Wazza that we see but still...
I don't even know how Hazard got into the conversation, he's not on the poll. It was a healthy debate with Rooney and the rest of the dudes on the list but then it got overboard.When I look at some of these ridiculous comments about the likes of Rooney or Hazard..it just reminds me of why I should only enter this thread around match days....
Damn meant to post that goal last night,so filthy :x . He carried them to the playoffs for the first time in their history and is the leading scorer and assist maker in the league right now...won't surprise me if he's called up on loan by a big Euro club this Winter. He's also been killing it for the Azzurri internationally so I'd say it'd be well deserved
Giovinco's already the MLS GOAT
"Legend" to me is someone that has accomplished lot in terms of silverware/individual honors and has played at a high level for most of their careers. Club legends vary from just Legends imo. Club legends can be players that might not have been generally considered world class but they accomplished a lot and had big moments for a given club. They're usually the ones that fans create songs about after they're gone.So I guess our definitions of the word "Legend" is different then. I'm looking at it from a "world of football" point of view, you're looking at it from a club/country point of view.Oh word?

Henry is a Footballing Legend, one of the greatest to ever grace the field in the EPL. Rooney isn't, but I guess he is a United/England legend from your opinion? I guess I can't argue that, but I can argue it from a world-class point of view.
I sort of agree,the legit have no strikers right now compared to when they used to have some of the best around. Bet they really wish they had called up Costa for the confed cup last time around...Romario on great Brazilian strikers: “It’s all in the past. Romario, Ronaldo, over. I can’t even name a good Brazilian striker these days.
At least, there wasn’t one in the last squad. To be honest, I don’t think there’s anyone fit to wear the #9 shirt.”
This. He's still getting called up for his National Team and probably is having the time of his life in Toronto. Already broke the MLS all time record of goals+assists total in a season with 35+ last time I checked. He's probably close to 40 by now. I don't see why he would go back to Italy unless it was for more money and being homesick or something.I hope he stays. He is good for the MLS.
We need more players like him over here

I don't mind it tho, if you have an opinion share it, bring it to the table - but all this "he's trash" talk is childish, I'm with you there.

Given all he's won on top of being one of the best talents in the Prem of the last decade, Roo is a legend to me but I might be biased . I truly believe that prime Wazza is one of the better players the premier league has seen. Guess that's where we agree to disagree
I think Brazill will have to keep playing Neymar as a false 9, Costa on the left and Hulk/Willian on the right. I honestly cannot name one really good Brazilian striker outside of Luiz AdrianoKlopp mania's starting with a limp...Gomez and Ings are out for the year
Found some telling comments from Romario on the state of Brazils #9's...

He also went on to roast Thiago Silva claiming that he doesn't have the character to play for Brazil :x
He could literally pull off everything skill wise at his peak though so I'd say yes. Long cannon shots,calm clinical finishes,acrobatic goals you name it. Plus he had a ridiculous motor back then and never stopped running full speed it seemedI get that, the silverware, the history of Rooney at United - he will be a United legend. They'll sing the songs and hang the banners. No denying that, he can never score a goal again and still be a United legend."Legend" to me is someone that has accomplished lot in terms of silverware/individual honors and has played at a high level for most of their careers.

But try not a United fan for one second, is Wayne Rooney (all-around) a football legend? - The answer will have to be no, that's the point I was making. The same would go for Drogba since you mentioned him, he's a Chelsea legend. Henry is the perfect example tho of my definition - He is a footballing legend. I will tell my kids about Henry - we all should.
On to the present tho, Wayne Rooney is not even 30 yet. So talking about his prime makes it feel like we're talking about a dude whose 40 years old.This dude needs to start producing now!!! Be the United legend you need to be right now
Think he'll need to wait a bit since Felipe Anderson has been anonymous this season for LazioI think Brazill will have to keep playing Neymar as a false 9, Costa on the left and Hulk/Willian on the right.

Felipe Anderson and Coutinho deserves to get a call up too.
And shoutout to Deigo Costa, would of been his spot if he would of overlooked all the drama and politics that happen behind closed doors in the National Team Committee.
Dihno fell in love with partying and yayo
“There's [Sergio] Aguero, [Robert] Lewandowski, Rooney, Luis Suarez, Neymar [and] Messi,” he said. “I think there are a lot of world-class players out there. I'm really happy to have won it four times, and I'd love to keep winning it if I can, although we'll see what happens over the course of the year”
He could literally pull off everything skill wise at his peak though so I'd say yes. Long cannon shots,calm clinical finishes,acrobatic goals you name it. Plus he had a ridiculous motor back then and never stopped running full speed it seemed .
Sucks to see his decline but it's not unprecedented,we all remember how fast 'Dinho fell off after being probably the most skilled player I ever saw before Messi. Sucks to see but it happens,it makes me appreciate the likes of Zlatan,Totti,Tevez and Ronnie that much more since they haven't really suffered a drastic decline in form as they've gotten older.
