Just to throw something in the mixer:
What exactly HAS Rooney achieved? He isn't prolific, he has won about 2 medals, and he had a pretty ordinary season last year.
Now, I don't for a minute doubt he has fantastic talent, but he does seem to go missing an awful lot for someone the Manc scum were touting as on his way to being the best in the World.
Just my tuppence, anyhoo.
