gbandit Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I meant more in terms of close control and trapping a ball etc. I call that technique. Dribbling I tend to consider it a separate thing if you’re a footballer like Neymar or CRonaldo but I think it also falls under technique when it relates to those footballers who are amazing dribblers due to outstanding close control 5 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: By technique do you mean striking technique? Because I think Kane's is slightly better. First touch? About equal. Rooney was the better at manipulating the ball at his feet but that's more dribbling (close control, agility, balance etc.) than technique. Rooney was the more creative and audacious player too.

Obviously he'll win the league but that's probably it. It's an interesting move though, and a change of challenge for him. You feel like Bayern are never far away from a champions league semi final. If he’s there for 3 years. 3 league titles. 2 cups at least. And maybe a CL. If he goes to Man U he might not win anything. The PL is a wash until we are confident Juergen is done and Pep pisses off. Big on the Pep pissing off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider them part of the same thing. Overall ball manipulation, mainly used to evade opposition. ‘Quick feet’. Close control is close to dribbling to me - that’s what David Silva, Modric etc. have. Bruno has it. If Rooney or Kane required a 3 touch finish (first touch, 2nd close control, 3rd half chance finish) I’d back Kane to pull it off more often. But I get your point Rooney has that tekky guile and ability. Kane is that bit more rigid, robotic (and efficient). RVP or Rooney? All the points above, RVP was better.

joeyt Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Man City getting Doku according to Romano Or maybe he's just saying it's one to watch Edited August 10, 2023 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Kane has wanted out of spurs for at least 2 seasons, it won't take much to agree personal terms to bayern, which were most likely agreed a couple of months ago. Levy has maximised that fee, for 1 year left and at his age. Guess its a good deal for everyone, though I doubt thryll spend it properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm beginning to think Foden needs to get out of Man City. Don't think Pep trusts him. Thought with Gundogan and Mahrez leaving he would be put into the first team, but it's not looking like that will be the case. Seems such a waste as I think he starts for anyone else in the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVP purely for his volleying ability. I’m being a bit harsh on Rooney as he was an exceptional player and I’d take Rooney as a 20 year old over any version of RVP but over a career, I just loved RVP’s ability to strike a ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also the best player to watch of the 3 imo. No version of Rooney was as complete, productive and exciting as prime RVP. Best I’d go Kane > Rooney > RVP For the joy of the game RVP > Rooney > Kane Edited August 10, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
