I'll let you guys try to figure out who is who.

I like Jovetic. Think he's a bit soft and cracks in bigger matches, but he has the potential to be a great player at an elite club. And I know you guys hate Rooney, but Stevan Jovetic is nowhere near a better player than him now or at any time. If you pick Jovetic over Rooney because you hate Rooney, I completely understand.

Better prospect for the future? If we're talking three to five years down the road, then Jovetic.

Better value? Probably, Rooney will demand really high wages.

Better player? C'mon.
