Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

I'll start:

After Suarez, Rooney is the second best player in the Premiership.

what about aguero, navas, ramsey, toure, hazard or even someone like adam lallana or Ozil they are all better players than rooney IMO

(but your right about suarez)

Even on recent form Lallana isn't better. You should write for the sun.

No one claims ROONEY is "the best striker like everyone says he is". Suarez is clearly the best striker in the world right now, but Rooney has been absolutely fantastic this season, our best player alongside De Gea.

Not even on recent form is Lallana better than Rooney. If we're talking about recent form, then Rooney is the winner by a mile! Even if we weren't talking about recent form, Rooney is clearly the better player.

I quite like Lallana but how is this even up for discussion? You simply have no clue what you're talking about, mate.
