    He was good, but not as good as Paulo Wanchope

    At international level Wanchope had a similar goal per game record as Rapenaldo and goals against both Germany & Brazil at WC finals.

    They both did, but one is better than Rooney and Carlton Cole isn't.

    Manchester United record goalscorer.
    Premier league 2nd highest goalscorer.
    England's record goalscorer.

    Five premier leagues.
    A champions league (2 runners up)
    A europa league.
    FA Cup, league cups, world club cup thing I think.

    = ****e.

    Stats merchant<whistle>

    Cant argue his records tbh, but always felt he held back/done the donkey work for ronny and that held him back in terms of his legacy as a player.

    Just felt he couldve been even better had he not had ronny in his team in his peak years.

    Glass jaw tho

    Wanchope was too good for United, as he proved when he dribbled past half your team to score.

    Those aren't stats, those are facts.

    Actual goals, actual trophies.

    I didn't mention ****ing assists and presses.

    Will say this tho.

    Hes one of onky a very few teenagers to score the type of goal that set him up for life.

    Owen v Argentina

    Rooney against seaman's Gooners when he was still at the ****e.

    Anelka was a sensation too

    Ashley Cole too

    Off top of my head anyway
