Suarez's finishing last season was the subject of ridicule.
Short memories some people.

Rooney's better than Suarez gimps
That said, I don't want Suarez going to City. Suarez-Aguero-Tevez = little Latino cnut apocalypse.

It's like claiming Paul Potts is better than Alfredo Kraus.*
*Not really, I just had to. :P
I still can't help but like Aguero even despite the whole "AGUUUUERO" thing.
Wayne's 'average' season has still had him score 13 and create 9 in 26 appearances.
Rooney is ridiculously underrated in some quarters. Over the last decade he's been one of the most productive players in the league.

If Aguero's a cnut I shudder to think of what one might label the two others.
Ha, music analogies don't really work as some one hit wonders are better than artists who have topped the charts for years...
True, but a lot of people were saying RVP was having a "freak" season last year and that Nani was better than Bale. As players get better opinions change. The question isn't how good Suarez and Rooney have been, it's how good they currently are and will continue to be. The fact that Suarez was crap at finishing last year doesn't stop him from theoretically being the better player now.
City wouldn't sign Suarez unless they'd shifted Tevez. Partly because they're vaguely similar players, but mostly because Tevez already takes them up to their twat limit. Unlike the other moneybags club City seem to be very careful to not have too many dickheads on staff. They're trying very hard to be as likeable as possible, and having the biggest pariah in the league alongside probably the least likeable player in the world would be way out of line with that policy.
I'm not even entirely joking...
Yeah I have no problem with Aguero, its just as a trio they count as LatTwattageddon.
I'm pretty sure they don't have a twat limit. Until recently they had Tevez, Ballotelli and Gary Cook.
Which one of them is Tonysleft?I'd put Dzeko instead of Aguero. Aguero seems like a nice bloke.
Dzeko comes across as a massive twat.
Ok, so apparently it is a topic for this thread. Anyway yeah, all of the above. There's nothing wrong with making the comparison, but Rooney wins comfortably every time. I don't even agree that Suarez has done better this season. Not only is Rooney not a number 9, but even to describe him as a striker completely misrepresents the sheer variety and volume of his work for the team. In most matches he plays he's amongst our most important defenders, most important midfielders and most important forwards all at once. That's obvious to anyone watching him but its also backed up by stats on passing, distance covered, tackles and interceptions, key passes etc.
So:
-Rooney's contribution to United is the equivalent of Suarez + Gerrard, as above.
-Rooney has been brilliant over his entire career, and is on the verge of breaking a number of significant records. Suarez is having easily his best season, and has only even been in the league for a few.
-Rooney, scaling up to account for appearances, has more goals+assists than Suarez this season.
-Rooney is competing with RVP, Welbeck and Hernandez, whereas Suarez has had no serious competition all season until the arrival of Sturridge, who has yet to replace him in a league match anyway.
-Expectations of Rooney are higher. If he scores and plays well but we lose, his contribution is forgotten. If Suarez does likewise, the loss is treated as standard for Liverpool, and Suarez praised.

It's like claiming someone who's not as good as Rooney is as good as someone who is as good as Rooney.
Stranegly enough I don't have problems with either of them. Dzeko's been overlooked on many occasions but just gets on with it.
Saurez on the other hand. He is a cnut of the very higehst order. Wouldn't want him any near OT even if the Evra thing didn't happen. Lets rate him next year. So far one crap one great year. Can he keep it up. I doubt it very much.
Nailed it.
Very similar. Good analogy.
I should've used the ol' RAWK-type "ex-girlfriend" analogy, really.
'Someone who's not as good as my ex is as good as someone who's as good as my ex. La.'

They'd have locked this one then.
This won't go down well.
"When I joined, the guy interviewing me said 'you've joined the biggest club in the country' and reeled off the trophies they'd won. I just said 'yeah, if you put it like that, I suppose you're right' and Liverpool used that as the headline to the interview," he added.
"I didn't want to upset anyone so I just went along with it. But obviously they're not the biggest club in the country any more. How do you judge how big a club are? Nottingham Forest won the European Cup twice but they're not a bigger club than Chelsea."

Yeah saw that, mind you all players do it when they join to suck up to the fans so it's not really a surprise. Sturridge was giving it socks when he signed too.
I knew there was a reason I liked Joe Cole
So Liverpool were his only real option, yet they still had to dish out 90k a week on him.
I'm glad that someone has finally exposed the desperate brainwashing/propaganda that Liverpool FC spoonfeed to their new signings.
Hopefully everyone will take that bilge with a large pinch of salt the next time they line up a new signing to trott out such rubbish.

Only an absolute Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime would fall victim to that 'brainwashing', Cole fits the bil perfectly.
Sturridge was waxing Liverpool from the LFC new signing guidebook about how "humongous" Liverpool were. The RAWKite faction of their support were absolutely jizzing themselves.
On that "Being Liverpool" documentary, the lad rocks up from Real Madrid (Sahin I think it was) and some gobshite physio was straight in his ear telling him what a massive club he's at now.
They really are a pathetic bunch - the ladies doth protest too much.

Downing is doing a Q&A on twitter at the minute under #askdowning, I don't think they've received a serious question.

If the majority of them are coming from Liverpool fans, then fair play.
Just a few more i noticed.
That one made me laugh.
I wonder if he actually answered any real questions at all.
