I think you misread my post.
"In order to be World Class a player should be good at everything he does. Example: Pele,Ronaldo,etc.."
That was pointed towards ROONEY not Henry!
Henry is a world class player but he wouldn't score 38 goals in the Bundesliga like he did last year in the Premiership. i.e. Ronaldo was briliant at Inter Milan. He performed for them in the Seria A, Champions League and he also performed for his country. However since he moved to Real Madrid he has not been as good as he was in Inter Milan. Why? Because La Liga is different from the Seria A.
Both Seria A and Bundesliga clubs defend more than they attack, their defence is more solid than in the EPL. It's a different pace and you will hardly see a player have a hat-trick. The defence in the Bundesliga is completly different than in the Premiership. Therefore Henry wouldn't score as many goals like he has done in the Premiership, however he is still a world class player. There is no doubt about that.
To simply put it in one sentance, Henry is world class and Rooney isn't. Last part of my posts was about Rooney not Henry you misunderstood it.

I wasnt comparing a turkish club with an english club? You said they werent a strong club in TURKEY. i stated they were champions.
And when i said picked for England-usually that means when your picked for your country ,you have impressed for your club. I think youll agree it was a good choice .
And as for being booked,I agree with you he does need to calm down,without losing his competitive edge. Nobody wants a ballet dancer as a centre forward.He is still learning as you say,and that part of his game isnt a concern at all.
