You *******. Enjoy that Mata.
Would you rather have Rooney or RVP?RVP's injury is making it easier to state a case for selling him to Moyes.

If you wanna be dumb, you got to be tough! (H) Thank you.You *******. Enjoy that Mata.
Is he less injury prone and fitter? He is more versatile and younger, but thats the only thing for me that Rooney has over RVP. His ball control and general lack of technique, possibly even football I.Q. sets me in RVP's corner. I think Rooney lost good piece of his technical ability in last 3-4 years. Even physically he's not imposing anymore.Rooney, by virtue of being less injury prone, young, fitter, more mobile and versatile.

Rooney covers 7km per hour, RVP covers 7.5km per hour. This are UCL stats. Thats a myth that RVP hardly moves.Yes, he certainly is. RVP hardly moves most of the match, whereas Rooney's been playing about three positions this year. As for less injury prone, it's no contest.

UEFA Champions League - Statistics ? UEFA.com
How many injuries Rooney had in past 3 years? I remember him missing so many games because of his fitness and injury problems. Rooney played 74 games in past two seasons ( this one and the last one), RVP played 73 games for United. Rooney misses average 10 games per seasons, same as RVP ( talking about this and the last season). 3 seasons ago, Rooney missed 8 league games. RVP didn't miss any. 4 seasons ago, RVP missed 13 games, Rooney missed 10. Hmm, makes me wonder..

Using those stats Rooney covers 7.8 km/hr and RVP 7.6 km/hr.. I'd like to see stats for more games, but just watching them play it's pretty obvious to everyone that Rooney is everywhere on the pitch. Rooney is definitely more mobile too.
You dont often see rvp back covering a full back like rooney would, I think a heat map or whatever you call it would work better in collaboration with those statistics to see where the ground is actually covered

Rooney's being everywhere is yin and yang. It's always nice to have a striker who can play as attacking mid, winger and even come deep to help defense, but that leaves no-one in attack. For me, that's not good enough reason to keep Rooney and sell RVP. Also, Rooney's 'everywhere on the pitch' came out of his position. He's not playing stiker so he drops deeper and comes to get the ball. You could see few times this season when RVP was playing off Hernandez that he drops deeper as well.Using those stats Rooney covers 7.8 km/hr and RVP 7.6 km/hr..

Like I said, thats nice, but do you want from your striker to do that? Yes, it can be useful and Rooney is better pick than RVP when playing Barcelona or Bayern, but Rooney seems to drift out of position. That can be good, but that is bad as well.You dont often see rvp back covering a full back like rooney would, I think a heat map or whatever you call it would work better in collaboration with those statistics to see where the ground is actually covered

That KMPH shows that there's small margin between Rooney and RVP when it comes to work rate.
