I was not talking about how Rooney has played for England. Because England have been playing badly for too long. This is not solely down to Rooney, or because we think he is the answer our problems. But because we have had pretty poor managers who do not get the best out of the players.
Whereas, Rooney in the league, with a good manager has utilised him effectively within the team and consistently gets good performances from him.
Career Stats : Man Utd Everton England
Games 559 401 77 81
Goals 249 197 17 35
Assists: 118 95 8 15
Now Statistics are never the whole picture but tell me again how Rooney is a bad player!
I ask again then, so if Rooney is not the player we could or would sign, WHO WOULD YOU SUGGEST?
