Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by adogho(m): 12:58am On Dec 28, 2005 |
Dear soccer fans, This is one question that has always keep me thinking for several hours that is why i am presenting it to you people to help me out. Martins has been the pillar of nigeria's attack since making his debut in the just concluded world/nations cup qualifiers, scoring in all-most all the games he has feature for the super eagles. with so many talented players in the nigeria team martins is garantee a first team shirt. With club like inter milan which u will all agree with me as one of the best in th world, obafemi martins is still a regular player in the inter team and making so many brilliant contribution day in and day out and not forgeting he is current young Africa footballer of the year winnig it back to back in 2003 and 2004 and hoping to re-claim it for the third time. No one can dought the power,skills,talent and goal scoring hero like Rooney. making a record of the highest signing in the 2003/2004 ( from everton to man utd), world young player of the year (2004) and one of the most feared attacker in the premiership. with a club like man utd he still holds the first team shirt playing 90minutes in all most all the premiership and champions league. score one of the most beatiful goal of the 2004/2005 season. forcing alam smith into playing 4 instead of attavt which we all know him to play and with a country like England which is so bless with talented players he will lead the english team attack with world kick off in germany. so pleace help out for you can see with ur eyes why it is so confussing. nelly adogho |

Lets be realistic, Rooney is the better, though he has attitude problem at times.

Hard to swallow, especially since I really dislike that geezer... But Rooney takes the cake. |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by vichel(m): 9:37pm On Dec 28, 2005 |
sorry i will have to go with martins. I have watched both players play, and although rooney is dangerous, martins is extraordinary, he makes the italian defenders known for their ruggedity tremble |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by Taf1(m): 4:52pm On Dec 29, 2005 |
[size=16pt]Rooney!!! And ue even dare compare ha ha ha [/size] |

Haha, I can never comprehend why people think Rooney is a great footballer/striker. If Martins was in the EPL, nobody will hear of Rooney, it's as simple as that. The same AC Milan that martins has scored several times against, even in the champion's league, Rooney could not do anything useful against ainst them last season. Martins consistently scores in the ITALIAN league, which is known for their rugged defending. This season, where has Rooney been while his team have been floundering about in Europe? As a striker, Rooney's record is not as good as Martins'. Check the stats for last season and even the one before that(if you wish). The buzz around Rooney is simply HYPE(thanks to the monster manifested as the English media) and for me, it's really SICKENING. If Rooney was at Inter, trust me,that guy for dey warm bench steadily. Martins was consistently benching Recoba, cruz, even Vieri. These are guys are quality players on their day. Who did Rooney displace at Man Utd? He practically walked into a team that had a gaping hole in that position, he never had to fight for a place, unlike Martins. Bottom-line-->Martins is so much more better than Rooney. |

COME ON PEOPLE LETS STOP BEING PARTIAL!! THE GOOD THING ABOUT EUROPEAN FOOTBALL IS STATISTICS!! ...IS CLEAR NO DENYIN IT.. IT HAD PATTERNS ROONEY IS BETTER!! HE CAN PLAY AMONGST ANY TEAM EASILY..WATCH MARTINS PLAYIN FOR NIGERIA HE SCORES GOALS BUT FOR MOST PART HE'S NOT CREATING OR GETTIN INTO POSITIONS!! I'M NOT A MAN U FAN BUT ZE BHOY IS GOOD!! SIMPLE AND AS FOR THE ATTITUDE IT COMES WITH SPORTS MATE!! footbal is not a gentlemans game |

@pie1ect, Glad to see that Martins is now in the EPL, let's compare their strike rates at the end of two seasons assuming he's just settling in this season. I don't blame Martins cos even Shevy, a Serie A import is struggling in Star-Studded Chelsea. But comparing Martins with Rooney requires extreme Patriotic Sentiments Are you with me? |

Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by dayokanu(m): 9:18am On Dec 06, 2006 |
So much for the patriotic Nigerians that would hype players to the heaven Rooney vs Martins dont make me throw up. Just like the other thread Ronaldinho vs Okocha, Henry vs Kanu, I am expecting Nistelrooy vs Makinwa, Baruwa vs Buffon, Enakharire vs Canavaro etc sum Martins Goals in EPL for 2 seasons and compare it with Rooney's goal Half season Martins should compete for one one the worst strikers in EPL |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by kitaun(m): 10:08am On Dec 06, 2006 |
U can say that a million times! My fear is our media is now guilty of hyping our players and as such they are letting it get into their heads! |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by sil(m): 10:12am On Dec 06, 2006 |
Oh yeah, that plan truth. |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by kitaun(m): 10:26am On Dec 06, 2006 |
Imagine Mikel being followed to training ground by his jobless friends or Obagol coming to Lagos few days to the Arsenal match and openly flaunting his identity after being accosted disrespecting traffic rules at Lekki?! These things nauseate me! |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by dayokanu(m): 1:46pm On Dec 06, 2006 |
Indiscipline is the trademark of the average Nigerian player. and later we would be screaming that CAF is unfair when it comes to awards I personally beleive that we get what we deserve Some days to Nigeria Cameroun final in 2000 Camerounian were seen training on sandy pitches and some Nigerian players notably Celestine were seen frolicking with chics all over Lagos we would now blame CAF for not winning or for losing the world cup ticket to Angola (spits in disgust) |
Re: Martins Vs Rooney, Who Is The Best??? by amodu(m): 2:02pm On Dec 06, 2006 |
Rooney is better than Obagol. |
