But you're right. HIs biggest problem is a lack of consistency. Which brings me right back to his age again
Agree with that. To an extent, sorry Take Lionel Messi. Young, but so clearly special, he's obviously gone way beyond being 'good' or 'very good' even. Somebody like, dunno, David Silva at Valencia for instance, just isn't in the same class, while being a top talent too.

Dunno, that may not have actually made sense. In fairness, i thought Rooney would go on to be truly special when he first came through, he may yet do so.
