Yeah, Rooney and RvP are the two most threatening forwards in the league...if Rodallega hadn't have put those rusty nails on the bottom of his cleats, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Rooney and RvP would spend the next few games playing together and dancing in everyone's nightmares.

EDIT: BPG, what are you even arguing? Two is always better than one...unless your two strikers play for Reading or Southampton.

Your the one arguing individually they're better than both. I was responding to YOUR comment. It was my argument.

Quit being a fricking douche about it. I'm sorry not everyone agrees with your opinion.

Agreed, but I was talking about as a current pairing. Bho decided to start talking about how Rooney by himself was better than the pairing.

I'd rather the duo from Argentina...

On another note, this was from Spurs official twitter account... Quickly removed...

You brought up individually not me. Ba and Cisse together are shite. Individually they are good. Aguero/Tevez, best tandem and shout for individually. Rooney/RvP better than Ba or Cisse. You aren't winning this.

I think he was saying individually like this...

Rooney and RVP's combined individual talents are better than Ba and Cisse's combined individual talents. NOT Rooney is better than Ba and Cisse combined OR RVP is better than Ba and Cisse combined.

Bho is arguing that.

I simply said Ba are Cisse and the two most threatening forward pair on the field right now. They don't play well with each other. I get it. Who fricking cares, their individual skills on the same pitch are better than any other pairing that is currently playing together (besides Tevez/Kun).

Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying, but that's what I'm talking about.

Read my last two posts. If Rooney doesn't get gashed, we don't have this conversation.

CURRENTLY PLAYING TOGETHER.

That =/= will be playing together.

I said it an hour ago in context of Rooney sitting on the bench today. Hence the "currently playing together."

I like Ba and Cisse. That tandem is not better than Aguero/Tevez and since you brought up individual talent, Ba and/or Cisse is not better than RvP and/or Rooney.

They played together in the second half...just because they didn't start together doesn't mean that they won't. Like you said earlier, they are still trying to gel.

PLAYING TOGETHER =/= STARTING TOGETHER

I already said I forgot about Tevez because he played so little last year. Kun and Tevez are better.

Agree to disagree. I think cumulative talent alone, Ba and Cisse are better than just Rooney or just RvP (Keep in mind, you're talking about comparing both to one, not me).

I hope they don't gel. No offense.
