I agree, but it also might be the shorter list which contains only the greatest names in the game, the exceptionally great players that most people would consider as legends. I think there is also the longer list of legends, which contains the ordinary great players in the history of the game...

The question can be asked about any other legends out there, what kind of stand out performance that elevates a player to a legend status? Does one spectacular volley in the last minute of a world cup knock-out match gives the status? Are Darren Anderton and Steve Mcmanaman England legends...

So only players in the 1966 world cup squad are England legends? Or is it just Bobby Charlton?

When fans start to convert some of your goals into pens and take away pens from your goal tally to deny you as top scorer, it's really time for you to go Wayne..

How about to score 15+ goals a season plus some assists playing in a forward position? Only 7 players in the league achieved that last season.

We can choose to believe whether the come back in those games were more because of the subbing of Rooney or the brilliance of Prince Oumar. The other one that I also remember was the three goals conceded to United after Rooney was subbed with ten minutes to go.

As Rooney most likely will leave Everton soon, here is a reminder of the difference that he had made for Everton this past season. With his goals, Rooney has contributed 7 points difference to Everton in these matches: Stoke : 1-0 (2 points) City : 1-1 (1 point) Brighton : 1-1 (1 point)...

I don't know if he was moved to midfield just to accomodate him, it could be because nobody else is considered better at creating chances for the forwards from midfield. But he is not a midfielder, had been tried there at United and failed. The last juice that is left of him is what he has been...

The former captain and all time goalscorer of his country and one of the top clubs in the world went back to his boyhood club last summer, became the top goalscorer until Christmas, then he was played in deep midfield, he stopped scoring, now everybody talk about how bad he is, weird..

As I have said before, he will make lots of those sickening holywood passes from a deep midfield position. He also doesn't mark, tackle, or intercept well enough to be a half decent central/holding midfielder. He's a slow forward/attacking midfielder who creates chances and goals. If there is...

He needs to play in front of Gana, not alongside Gana with somebody between them and the striker. He will be in the best position to feed the striker when nobody plays between them. He also has a goal scoring job to do, playing him deep will dry up his goals. In the game of scoring more goal...

I always see him as an AMC or wide forward, at CM position only when defending with 1 or 2 DM behind him. Playing him too deep will make him do a lot of agonizing slow moving holywood balls to the right forward/wing back like he used to pass to Valencia at United. He also lacks the ball...

It depends on how they define "finished". If they compare the present Rooney with the one who played with Ronaldo and Tevez, of course he is finished. But if finished means that there are many other players in his positions who are clearly better than him, then try to ask them which United...

Check United squad in 15/16 season mate, compare it to City, Arsenal and Spurs, and tell me that you think United would've finished above them without Rooney.

When talking about the number of goals and assist he has produced you must also consider the system that he played under. My point is not that he has produced lots of goals and assists period, but that he have always been among the best in the team that finished 4th and 5th in the league in...
