    Skylarker.
    And Dirk Kuyt as much as I think he's a 100% legend is not in a million years world class.

    No, just no. He is simply better in the hole. Playing in the hole doesn't mean you're a worse player or anything - Rooney's attributes are just far better suited to that role. And it is in that role, he's up there with the likes of Sneijder and Messi as the best in the world.

    I get what you're saying. But actually break down what happened and it is simply what i said. If he was scoring 25+ a season you think Fergie would of changed his position?

    Of course not. But using the logic you're using is like saying Fernando Torres wasn't world class because he used to play centre-back for Atletico years ago, but made the transition to striker. You don't judge him on how good he is in a position that is not his. We don't judge Gerrard on how many goals he scores, although it certainly helps. That's the same for Rooney. It isn't the be-all and end-all of his role.

    Would this be the same Dalglish who failed to rebuild Joe ***an's squad? Would this be the same Dalglish who jumped ship once Arsenal under George Graham started to challenge them? Would this be the same Dalglish who spent over £27 million on 27 players in the early 1990's at Blackburn to achieve the title? Is this the same Dalglish who managed to take the Newcastle Utd squad that Keegan had built up to 13th in the League just 4 points from the bottom 3? Is this the same Dalglish who recommended to Celtic that John Barnes be made manager? Is this the same Dalglish who then attempted to lead Celtic and failed? Is this the man you believe will break Man Utd and help them to rule the roost?

    Good luck.

    He's been taken out of the main forward line because he lacks composure.Composure is the ability when being one on one with a keeper and having ice running through your veins.Rooney snatches at chances.He also lacks the overall intelligence to play that forward role.Hernandez has far more composure.However Hernandez is one dimensional.
    Rooney lacks composure because he's a hot-head.

    If he is world class then that shouldn't be a problem <doh>

    For example play Messi anywhere (except probably CB) and he will show world class qualities. Same cannot be said for Rooney.

    Regarding Rooney I was refering to in front of goal.If he had any composure he would average more than 12 goals a season.
    As for Kenny.He has been there and done it,and his record compared to Bryan Robson,who relegated two clubs he once played for...West Brom and Middlesbrough has me wishing he was appointed Man Unjited manager is remarkable.

    If you meant composure in front of goal, why mention being hot headed?
