The question with Rooney is - we know he can score great goals but is he going to be a prolific goalscorer in the RvN, Denis Law, Alan Shearer sense? He may not want to be that kind of player, his skills may need a different outlet.

If he can be, of course he will WANT to be a prolific goal getter. That is after all what this sport is all about.
