Rooney:appearances 351 goals 141. goals per game ratio is 0.4
Torres:appearances 368 goals 176. goals per game ratio is 0.48
I don't see much difference between the 2

Radomir Antic (Serbia coach)

“Rooney is not just a great player but he has now developed himself into a very influential player as well. I look at him and see a complete player, a comprehensive player, someone who works so hard but then scores the goals that matter as well. He does everything he has to do on the pitch. He will play as the lead striker, drop into the middle to pick up the ball but he will also go out wide to stop the opposition full back coming forward — sacrificing himself for the team. He will do that, do whatever his team needs. That is the mark of a great player. I look at him now and believe he has got over the problems he might have had with his temperament. That is what has helped him become a great player.”

Pim Verbeek (Australia coach)

“Ronaldo and Rooney are different players, of course, but if you look at the goals Rooney is scoring and the great touch he has, he is unbelievable at this moment. He can make the difference. If you want to win the biggest games at the World Cup, you need players in your team who are extra-special, because they make the difference — and Rooney is extra-special. If you look at the big teams — Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland, England, France, Brazil — there is very little between them. But Rooney can make that difference.”
