Rooney now or Shearer then?

[toonarmy#9]

Got this idea from the Drogba v Rooney topic.

Who do you think is the better of the two? Rooney now or Shearer when he was in his prime. Being a Newcastle supporter obviously im gonna say Shearer

What does everyone else think?

[Facts and Stats]

Shearer whilst he was at Blackburn

Just found some facts on their International careers

-Shearer made his International debut at 21, Rooney at 17.
-Shearer got 63 caps. Rooney already has 57 & will blitz Shearers record. Infact he will overtake it in the next year (barring injury).
-Shearer scored 30 goals for England. Rooney already has 25 and will overtake Shearer soon.

Go to User Control Panel, then click on Profile, then click on Edit account settings.
Now you know what to do, get rid of that fairy username!

[Randoman]

wrong. click on control panel >> change username >> throw computer on floor >> burn house down.

[Shearer #2]

Um shearer

[Ernie Cooksey]

Both my favourite players of their era, but Rooney just edges it, and I'm sure by the time he's played as much football as Shearer did, there will no contest between the two. I can see the lad leaving a legacy for both club and country that will go unmatched for years to follow.

[ForzaChievo]

not sure of the actual stats, but wouldnt shearers goal scoring record at club level be quite a bit better?
rooney's stats looks good because he started so young, but if you look at season averages, surely shearer would have a better record.
like i said, havent checked the stats, and could very well be wrong, but yeah shearers goal scoring ability at his peak was the best i have ever seen

[Shearer #2]

Shearer is my favourite player of all time, so Shearer.

What does everyone else think?

Putting goal stats for club and country aside, maybe a better question is who is more influential as a player?

At the moment Shearer is by a mile but I see Rooney matching him in the future.

[Wraith]

Shearer by a country mile.

[swannsong]

Shearer by a country mile.

Is that further than a city mile ?

[messidona]

would have to say Rooney, plus he's the more complete player.

I see what you're trying to say but most of the last couple of seasons, Rooney has played out of position. So stats may not be the only answer.

Not disagreeing but how so?
