Yet nearly every Man United fan on redcafe are saying they would be stupid to turn down such a deal and Mata is worth more than Rooney. But hey some guy on Barcelona forum is right and everyone else is wrong. Wayne Rooney is a god of a footballer who's ten times better than Mata and if he goes to Chelsea will suddenly get 45+ goals/assists in one season.....
Since when is Redcafe the benchmark for player judgement? You don't have to be Einstein to realize that Redcafe are butthurt because Rooney "the Scouse bastard" handed in his second transfer request in 3 years.
Scoring around 30 goals isn't something alien to Rooney, I don't know what you're on about. Last season he scored 27 goals in 34 Premier League games. In 09 / 10 he scored 26 in 32 games. With mediocrity like Carrick, Anderson, Young and Cleverley supplying him. His form only drops whenever SAF is messing around with his position and tries to convert him into a central midfielder. Mourinho will utilize him properly.
As for the lies about the EPL stats, Mata scored 12 and assisted 12, Rooney had 12 and 10. Mata made 8 more appearances, but let's not ignore Rooney plays further forward for United and Mata often dropped deep for Chelsea whilst he had to supply for Torres and Rooney had RVP. But hey I don't expect you to grasp that claim going by your previous comments, next you will be comparing Luiz goalscoring etc with Rooney.
Many great players don't start for Spain.
You're trippin'. Mata doesn't play deeper than Rooney at all. Here is the heat map.
That "he only had Torres" argument goes both ways obviously. Young, Welbeck, Cleverley, Anderson and 40 year old Giggs isn't exactly the most fearsome supporting cast for Rooney.
