Ozil was bought for 40 million to cope 9 Assist? Now we know who the fraudsters in EPL are.

Rooney scored 17 goals lasts season and provided 10 Assists in a weak team. Yet they blame him.

You argue blindly. Nobody had said that Ozil has met his expectations at Arsenal yet. He hasn't delivered to the standards Arsenal expect of him. Ozil wasn't in this equation, you brought him into this all in the name of saving face for your Rooney.

The fact is that Ozil won't be bought by ANY team for the purpose of scoring goals. He's not a striker!! Stop this useless argument. Also, Rooney will never be bought by ANY team for the sake of creating assists or the midfield role which is Ozil's job. When Mourinho came for Rooney, wasn't he looking for a striker due to he had Chelshit flops like Torres and Eto'o or not? I'm sure you will bring another lame excuse as to why Mourinho was came to buy Rooney to spearhead his attacks.

Rooney scored those goals (1 away goal all season) while eating €300K per week, but other strikers eating as less as £50K per week outscored him in Europe. That's why we are mad at Rooney!! He's over-paid!! Hole or no hole. He's a striker and he's spent. He needs to be sold or take a pay cut!!

I would be very careful getting ANY attacking talent from Italy. They are mostly scams

Check Cavani, Immobile, Iturbe, Whats the name of this Spurs guy that only does Rabonas on the field? even Lavezzi and Pastore have been underwhelming after spending millions on them, even Insigne has been found to be very overrated. And guess what happened to the perenial talent Giovinco who has been a mercurial talent for almost a decade? He now plays in Canada!!

Infact 38yr old Lucatoni is the highest goal scorer in Italy as we speak

Scratch Immobile out of that list... less injuries, better management and more playing time - he will be Europe's next top striker!

Guys what of Carlos Bacca?

coogar:


we can do better than benzema....
please, drop the idea. sweet jesus, he would be 28 this year. not another OAP that would stop performing in another 1-2 seasons.

let's find a younger talent.

Benzema is head, shoulder and waist better than having Rooney as #9... and like it or not, he is in my top-10 STRIKERS in Europe!

parrotibaba:
Guys what off Carlos Bacca?

We don't see gems even when they are right under our noses!

hmmm like seriously? @argument


hopefully, our scouting team are working with their eyes very clear. we can't afford ill signings @ this stage of our transition.

RuuDie:

My sentiments exactly. The guy is a goal machine. To think he's only been linked to mediocre clubs like Everton and Spurs. SMH

Harvard13:

im not a rooney fan but coogar just stop hating.
someone playing behind a top striker with rooneys stats is good. deduct d set peice not add and ur talk of rebounds are funny. u dont bliv because his stats but u should

it woulda been good if rooney was taking £50k per week. it's a fraud if he's taking £300k/week. is ronaldo a striker? even messi didn't play as a centre forward entirely this season - look at his stats.

when you have to consider a players position, height, weight, weak foot, weather, surface area of his forehead, etc before you analyst his goal stats then that player isn't good enough.

the position rooney plays should not affect his shot accuracy.

elampiro:

1. Your figures are even wrong. My figures there are only EPL apearances while yours are all competition. Pls restrict it to EPL.
2. Even if I were to adopt your bogus figures.... This means Rooney had 35 shots from set play. That leaves him with 49 from outside the box. Chicharito has just 6 shots from outside the box.
Using even this fraudulent figures of yours, Rooney will end up with 52% of his shots inside the box while Chicha has 83%.
3. On your other points: (a) How can we add Rooney's free kick to Chicha's, we rather deduct all set plays. If you add them to Chicha's own, then you also have to multiple Chicha's shots from inside the box in correlation to the number of minutes Rooney played. Because if Chicharito had played same number of minutes as Rooney, and taken all the penalties, his shot inside the box would more than double.
That is, Chicha had 41 from inside the box with just 1477 minutes, which means if he played 2839 minutes he would have (41 x 1.92213) = 79 shots from inside the box from Chicharito. Add 8 Rooney's penalty you mentioned= 87 shots for Chicha inside the box. Lastly you will take Chicha's set play and add them to Rooney's figures outside the box.
When you streamline your set plays figure to the EPL only I will easily work this out for you. Helo guy?
4. So Ozil was bought with 40 million to create 9 Assists? Did you realize that Rooney scored 17 goals?
See you tonight or tomorrow latest.

you are just writing epistles - how come rooney mansged 4.6 shots per game while chicharito managed just 1.7 shots per game? even in the debut season of chicharito when he was the most prolific, his shots per game was just 2.

how is rooney finding the magic to shoot almost 5 times per game from a withdrawn position. rooney is the most unselfish player in the world. he would pass the ball if his strike partner is in a better position......so how did his stats rack that high on shots & yet he had a very low assist from the hole?

you are confused!

RuuDie:


Scratch Immobile out of that list... less injuries, better management and more playing time - he will be Europe's next top striker!

Immobile is useless . He is an outdated striker the Inzaghi type poacher and strikers of nowadays are required to do more than stand there waiting for passes

He was injured for only 2 weeks this season and he failed woefully. Which better player manager can you get than Jurgen Klopp who invested Dortmunds little money in Ciro and he failed

He looks immobile most of the time

dybala is better than any striker in germany. this is not an exaggeration. he's got everything. the only issue is if he can survive in a physical league like EPL.

By this time next season we would be here to see what you have to say about him. After seeing several attackers from Italy fail, I would put a 60% discount on any of them

The same way Atletico Madrid blew their money on Cerci last season to discover he is another in the long list of Serie A attacking frauds

Kaka, giovinco, veron, cavani, lavezzi, pastore, balotelli (4rm A.c to liverpool lol), immobile, zarate and lamela, though pple like zidane, zola nd di canio wey hits.. I still got a feeling dat paul pogba will fl0p if he leaves italy,.

Its mostly with exports in the last 3-5yrs that have been busts especially very recent exports. I can hardly think of any attacking export that has lived up to expectation Maybe Zlatan to PSG definitely not Zlatan to Barcelona

Go to youtube and look for clips for any of the players I mentioned Lamela, Immobile Cerci Giovinco etc. You wont hesitate to empty your inheritance to buy them

dybala is just 21!
he already possesses the football grain of aguero, suarez & messi put together. the weight of his passes & the vision alone is worth more than £40m.

lamela is crap!
immobile is decent.
giovinco is above average.
none of them has the guile of dybala....this is the most exciting youngster i have seen since messi in 2005.

On Nairaland some years ago some people were urging their managers to buy Giovinco now he plays in Canada

Youtube cant be used to judge players

below is the youtube for Lamela while in Roma

pogba is a good player....
we dropped a ball letting him go & extending the contracts of giggs/scholes. our transfers & key decisions since carlos queiroz left have been pathetic.

i have no doubt in my mind that he's the key reason we won in europe that season. he addressed fergie's blindspot by making sure we got hargo & anderson that season.

Pogba had formative years in England, he sure will suit in seamlessly.
he's got qualities to complement Herrera or Mata going forward centrally, so why not? if we wan compete with the best clubs then our eyes suppose dey on the best players available.

Schneiderlin, Gundogan & Pogba will be my pick, cuz Carrick - by recent evidences, is done. alternatively Bender, Kondogbia & Sami Khedira on a free are good additions too.

Immobile is an "Inzaghi type poacher" If I hear...

I'd give you more than a benefit of doubt if it was a Bayern player we are discussing, but on this one; lai lai... I have seen enough of Ciro to know better. He is by far a more complete, all-round player and scores a variety of goals!

The Sevilla #4... Krychowiak... yes, the pole - shytes over all these dudes all day, every single way!

Lol. Pls why all these hype on Dybala?. Yes he has potential to be a great player but thats where it ends for now. Time will tell though.

coogar:

!

This is a lie. Chicharito did not have 1.7 shot per game when taken down to 90 minutes played rather than the substitutions time he had. Substitution roles dropped Chicha's figures in both seasons.

The number of shots dont even tell the position of a player but the the zone where the shots were taken shows the position. Rooney and Chicha did not play in same Zone

coogar:

how is rooney finding the magic to shoot almost 5 times per game from a withdrawn position. rooney is the most unselfish player in the world. he would pass the ball if his strike partner is in a better position......so how did his stats rack that high on shots & yet he had a very low assist from the hole?
you are confused!

1. Rooney took most of his shots from outside of the box as I have already shown. This meant his playing zone was different from Chichrito and Welbeck.


2. You brought shot from set plays for all competition to try to reduce Rooney's shots from outside of the box in the EPL games..

3. Even if we were to tow your line. It would mean Chicharito did not have any shot outside of the box.

1. All Shots
Name...........Outside the box............Inside the box
Rooney............... 84.........................73
Chicharito........... 6...........................41
Welbeck............. 14......................... 66
Berbatov............. 1...........................15


2. You refused to provide shots from set play for the EPL games only. However, I decided to prorate the figures you earlier provided for all competitions to isolate only for EPL.

Shots from open play. (Shots from set play deducted).

Name...........Outside the box............Inside the box
Rooney............... 60.........................67
Chicharito........... 0...........................41
Welbeck............. 4......................... 66
Berbatov............. 0...........................13


This is clear indication that Rooney played in the hole while Chicharito and the other played in the number 9.
