It's not just potential, he was the best England player on the pitch against Costa Rica (not saying a lot maybe, but still). And he's only 18. Personally I think we should have striped the moneybag Manc bastards for a good bit more. Because when he goes to Real Madrid it'll be for four times that amount, so I hope to **** we have a decent sell-on clause.
Up there with the 'best looking girl in Glasgow'. It's potential, it's a Premier league signing of an English man. He's half decent yet the likes of SKY have mugs thinking he's World Class.
In the England v Uruguay game the commentators pointed out that England are just missing a world class forward like Luis Suarez... um, why is Rooney getting paid more money than Suarez then? There's some crazy mentality where English Internationals have to get stupid wages and go for stupid transfer fees.
Because he doesn't eat people? Shaw has a better first touch than Rooney btw, and doesn't give the ball away as easily.
Yep. Being English adds £20m to your value and has done for some time for some reason which evades me, I could understand if there were limits on the number of foreigners for European games.
