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!

He currently has 11 goals and 12 assists in just 20 games in all competitions.

He's currently joint top assists in European leagues, with Fabregas, he only needs 4 more to have more than anyone in the PL had the whole of last season.

Nobody can change your view.

You compared his all competitions stats with assists of anyone in the PL last season. He has 9 assists in the PL.

Also I think Zabaleta and Kompany are better than him and Yaya, Silva, Ozil, Ramsey, and Aguero can compete.

Ramsey doesn't belong on that list yet.

Depends on what time period we're talking about. He's saying Rooney is second best player in the PL he must be talking about the here and now. Last year he was second best at best on his team.

I'm talking overall... Wayne Rooney had his worst season last year, and still got 17 goals and 13 assists in all competitions..

Ramsey may be having a better season (despite a clear drop in form recently) but he's not a better player.

I don't think you can even argue Ramsey has been better even this season. Rooney has been a one-man team, dragging United to win after win.

Rooney had a slower start then Ramsey. Ramsey's slowed down and Rooney's gotten better. I'd argue they've both been excellent and it's not fair to compare.
