Rooney was brilliant. A true blue who is the best we have produced in the last 30 years.

I think even Ferguson described Rooney as the best English talent to emerge in 30 years which is some going as he emerged in 2002-3, and the period that Ferguson refers to also covered Gascoigne’s emergence who for me, is still the most outrageously talented English player I have seen.

Exactly mate, a huge compliment it was how it was meant. Never to be seen again for a long time
Yep as much as he's decorated I feel he is underrated.
From the streets of croxteth he was easily as good as Messi and Ronaldo.
Proud he was a blue.
Rooney is the best 16 year old I’ve ever seen , people laugh when I say I thought he was going to achieve more , give he achieved so much 16-18 he was immense, I thought he was going on to Balon D’Or status.

I still have vivid memories of hearing the wooden seats banging whenever he got the ball.
Mate, I’ve said the same on here before. While he still achieved an awful lot and was a top player, his lifestyle put a glass ceiling on his potential.
They should have talked about him like Messi and Ronaldo, but the drinking, smoking and general attitude to training limited what he could have been.
He'd do a job in any position on the park too if asked. It's not even goals i remember him for, it's those 80 metre dashes back to his own half to stick a world class fullback slide tackle on a winger who'd just brushed the proper fullback aside.
In a lot of ways that counted against him overall individually mate , willingness to be a utility.
Tbf even the commentators said there’s no way he’s getting that.
Front line should have all moved up to press them at that point and it probobly wouldn’t have looked as bad.
Yep, others wouldn't do it you're right.
….ha, ha, Beto is not a ‘DCL type’.
Same age as DCL when he signed, was equally as raw.

The way he walked around the pitch and the aura he had would have easily looked like he belonged in our best sides in years gone by and he was unfortunate not to be in the better Ferguson sides a few years prior.
Disappointing he didnt move to Barca or Madrid as i think hed have gotten some top awards on the continent then.
The closest ive seen to him as an u21 player is Branthwaite -- in terms of that when hes on the pitch you know he'll be one of the best players.
Chermiti has come from Sporting so technically should be very good. We need him to improve ths rest of his game.

In terms of an outball he is "haha" is on you.
