Where do we fit Rooney?

god said this:
Quote:
"That's the thing, because I think he's identical to Wayne in the position he plays, which is further up the pitch with Dimitar Berbatov in your team.

"Your combination is more likely to be Berbatov and Owen or Berbatov and Rooney. With Rooney and Owen together you'd have to drop Rooney in the hole and I prefer to play him further up the pitch."
Rooney himself says his best position is playing in the middle.
If I interpret that correctly, is he saying his best position is not too far ahead but also not too deep implying that it will be behind another striker?

Is god making a mistake with Rooney? Is he wrong? Anybody brave enough to challenge SAF on this?
What is his best position?
Personally, I will play Rooney in the hole, right in his so called "middle" (I hope that is what he means). Push Berba forward whether he likes it or not.
If Berba can't cut it up there, then we should start playing Welbeck/Macheda/ whoever is left more or look for a target man because clearly Rooney is our future. No dow aba that
