At the end of the day, finishing is a skill and Rooney can improve that. What Van Nistelrooy has is an ability to be in the right place and that comes naturally and cannot be improved.
Basically, i'm agreeing with you.  |
Indeed you are agreeing with me. We're all going in circles and basically saying the same thing, apart from the left-field contributions from Chief and Scholesy, that is
To use your school analogy, even the thick kids can improve their grades by working hard and the bright ones can fuck up if they take the piss. In the same way, Rooney can improve his finishing with practice. He might never get as good at finishing as someone like Ruud or Ole but he can and will improve.
Took his goals brilliantly yesterday, that's for sure
