I agree Oss – they are different types of players though ; Rooney drops back into midfield to lose his markers , Shearer is more of an out and out striker .
Although I am a diehard mackem Shearer has been superb throughout his career – but shouldn’t he have gone to a decent team to win some trophies ???
YOUR JUST JEL COZ U HAVE NEVER HAD A DECENT STRIKER U HAD PHILLIPS BUT HE WAS SH1TE ALSO
AND ROONEY WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD A STRIKER AS SHEARER GOALS SPEAK LOUDER THAN A RUN AROUND A FIELD!! IF YOU DONT WANNA COMPAIR HIM TO SHEARER DONT CALL HIM A STRIKER IF U WANT TO COMPAIR HIM HEL COME SECOND EVERY TIME POOR ROONEY
rubbish in my opinion!
shearer was great, but i still think rooney will go down as a better player than him when all is said and done

YARRA NUTTA MORPH – JUST COS YOUR A TOONY DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO SHOOT ALL THE TIME TO GET YER POINT OVER
THERE AGAIN YER POINTS ARE USUALLY SO SHYTE YOU DO HAVE TO SHOOT
ROONEY IS A FAR BETTER ALL ROUND PLAYER THAN SHEARER – IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT ONLY GOALS – THEN TIME WILL TELL
LMFAO
GOIN DOWN
GOIN DOWN
GOIN DOWNRooney is one of the prospects in world football…For United, he plays behind the striker, or right midfield or left, and he is still banging in goals…He does play upfront, but he gets switched around almost in every United game…Shearer will have NOTHING on Rooney…Shearer was a GOOD player, a GOOD talent..But Rooney is an exceptional talent…He is put in with the likes of Henry, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and others alike, because all of them players can change a game with a bit of skill, or an exceptional pass, or an exceptional goal….Putting Shearer in the bracket of Rooney is almost laughable.
They are 2 different players…You are right, but Rooney is still a better player than Shearer, and them reasons above tell you why….When he plays straight upfront..He can bang goals in left right and centre…When he drops back..He is as creative as any player in the world..And you put Shearer in Rooneys bracket? Haha very funny lol.
Van the man is better than Shearer….Shearer has been in the premier league a longggggg time…Please don’t forget that, and it amazes me how he ended up at Newcastle….I guess the great teams weren’t interested lol
I agree in that Ronney could well be the best striker in the world in the next few years. Shearer was an outstanding striker though and at his prime he was one of the top 3 strikers in the world.

He was never in the top 3…In opinion, but not in awards….You had Ronaldo, Shevshenko coming up..You had a bundle of tallented strikers who Shearer couldn’t get close too…He was considered OUR best striker in ENGLAND…But never in world football….He went to Newcastle, because no bigger team wanted him..I didnt see barca calling for him, or the Madrids, or the Milans, Juventus….He was never as big as to what people map him out to be..But he WAS good.
Man Utd were in for him Robbo. :wink: They were really keen to get him, but he wanted to go to his hometown team.
Dunno if it was the right decision or not.
Certainly he’d have had numerous League Championship medal’s and a Champions League winners medal if he’d went to Utd.@Bad Manners wrote:

No one was willing to fork up the money for him.
That’s rubbish. Hitler Youth, er, I mean Manchester United tried to get Shearer at least twice before he moved to Newcastle. Check it out here.
I reckon his high watermark was after Euro’96, which he finished as the Golden Boot. He was widely regarded as one the world’s top strikers at that point.
Oh, and he also came third in the World Footballer of the Year awards in 1996.

To the biggest profile clubs, he obviously wasn’t…I mean, the man had to opt for a move to Newcastle….Rooney signs for United, and United did all they could to sign him..No one else was willing to do the same with Shearer…If he was one of the worlds greatest strikers, like you pointed out..Then he would have gone to one of the worlds best teams, which it didn’t happen…And don’t give me this, “he wanted to join his home town”, because players like Shearer want to progress and win things, and if a bigger high profile club like Real Madrid came in, you’d be as sure as hell he’d opt for them!
So, wouldn’t you count Manchester United as a ‘bigger, high profile club’, then? You seem to be under the impression that Newcastle aren’t a ‘big’ club. Now, I have no axe to grind. I don’t support any type of United, but Newcastle paid a world record fee for Shearer. That pretty much makes them a big club at that point in time, I think.
And how is it exactly, Robbo, that you get to be third in the FIFA World Player of the Year Award without being one of the best in the world? At the end of Euro’96 Shearer could’ve played for anyone he wanted. Why do you find it so hard to believe he wanted to play for Newcastle?
Just because you’ve no soul and can’t bring yourself to support a team that has actually got something to do with you, doesn’t mean everyone is like that.
