Manchester United have their own Cristiano Ronaldo - and so do England!

The fact of the matter is that rooney is a great player. But what is also true is that ronaldo has more natural talent and i alwaysa knew he did from the first time i saw him. I knew this guy was going to be special. You either have the talent or u dont and he definitely had it. It was using his talent properly and making the right decisions which made ronaldo a shadow of wot he is now. But he always had the talent. I know most poeple wont accept this especially in England but Rooney does not have the talent Ronaldo posesses and that is reality. You can carry on believing otherwise but you will carry on being dissapointed year after year. He is a marvelous player but not the next "Pele" as the english media had predicted. Sometimes you lay the ground for yourselves and then dont want to get to grips with the truth.

there is no one rite now in the premier league that can be rated above cristiano ronaldo. ronaldo has wat it takeds to do everything. pass,shoot,dribble and everything, give him 2 more games and he well show the world why he is the BEST !

Quote, "Ronaldo has more natural tallent". Ronaldo's game is based on skill, practiced over and over millions of times, this is not what I would call natural, it is rehersed. Rooney bases his game on vision, seeing the pass before its there, knowing how to play the game and dropping deep to bring the squad into the match. This comes naturally to him. What he doesnt have is the rehersed skills of Ronny, and it is this skill with the ball where we all hoped Rooney would develop.

You do have to understand that these two players bring different qualities to the team and it should not be discounted. Rooney's determination, drive and work ethic gives MU an edge as with Ronaldo's pace, trick and goals. When Rooney start to get that ruthlessness in front of goal like Ronaldo, he will also be heralded in the same bracked as Ronaldo.

good

If ronaldo wins CL and EPL then he will be world player as well as EPL player and golden boot of the year. On another note, i personally believe different players develop at different pace at different stages of their career, to me Rooney has matured a lot this season, specially with his passing and vision and temperament. If he can regain his shooting venom, he will surely challenge for top striker next season. As for cronaldo, now an unprecedentedly high level of standards is expected from him, will he be able to maintain it will depend on his fitness and moreover his progress in this summers euro2008.

My main point is this, Rooney was the amin man and is now playing secodn fiddle, this has as much to dow ith Ronaldos skills as it does with Rooney not developing as quickly, and the final point is Im not to sure Ronaldo would be half the player he is if he hadnt been playing in the Premier League.

now all you have to do is get him an all english passport and start your world cup 2010 hype as the team that should win it all. i think after teaching ronaldo to play soccer you guys deserve him.

keep up this situation
