Whilst Paddy Crerand is piling the praise on Darren Fletcher today, Sir Bobby Charlton has spoken of his great admiration for Wayne Rooney.
Sir Bobby reckons both club and country are lucky to have Wayne and looks to our young striker being able to bag 50 goals or more for England.
“Wayne Rooney is a very important person for club and country,” said Charlton. “I think United and England are very lucky to have someone of his character and ability. He is always pleased to listen to you and pick up any advice and help he can. Wayne has great ambitions and he wants to be the best and will ensure he does everything to achieve that.”
As usual, England fans’ hopes are placed firmly on the shoulders of one of our players, with Rooney the irreplaceable talent in the team. Sir Bobby reckons Rooney is the key to England achieving success at the World Cup.
“From England’s point of view we have suffered from inconsistency for a good 20 to 30 years,” he added. “But we are getting a consistent look to our game now under Fabio Capello. If the team continue to perform well and Wayne is also key to that, then I think we can start thinking about success again at international level. I don’t worry about talking about Wayne like this or the fact that people see him as so vital for England these days, because he is a big lad, a strong character and can handle the pressure.”
Aged just 23-years-old, Rooney has 24 International goals to his name in 54 games. Sir Bobby Charlton reckons Rooney will beat our legend’s own England goalscoring record, which stands at 49,
Tom Finney, Nat Lofthouse and Alan Shearer are on 30, then there’s Michael Owen on 40 goals, Jimmy Greaves on 44, Gary Lineker on 48 and Sir Bobby on 49.
“I would really have no problems if Wayne eventually got beyond 50. There are a lot of goals to come from him,” he continued.

Soon he will follow Sir Bobby in to the Haircut hall of fame and then the goalscorers Hall of Fame.
hmmm…. people should stop talking more and more about wazza.it will put additional pressure on him.just let the lda get on with the game.we all know he aldready has so much pressure on him and all this talk will put additional pressure and it may prove too much even for wazza.
We don’t care about Engurland!
Off topic but n a summer where” sorry Steven but I can giv you control f the dj jukebox” means you deserve a good few punchs to the head, Micheal shelds has just got out, turns out hitting a guy with a block because your too young to get into a night club and killin him isn’t that bad either
Offtopic, but after Le Harve, here come Fiorentina

When will this ever end?!!?
Play him where he can control the game and he will get you goals!!!
Wayne Rooney is the best player in the world, it’s as simple as that.
aig – As the great man Bobby says , Wayne can handle the pressure.
Spacemanspiff – Where the fuck has all this come from? It has gone on for years then all of a sudden teams are getting reported right, left and centre. Why now? Got to be Platini’s agenda. I see also Ken fucking Bates has come out and said that “The big clubs treat players like horse meat and are ruining their lives”. What the fuck. Apparantley Everton have got one of Leeds (scums) young stars. It is absolutely ridiculous.
gotta hate – Has Michael Shields been released?
FIFA has set a precedent with Chelsea and all sorts of allegations will be made. What people are forgetting is that Chelsea received a suspended sentence for the tapping up of Ashley Cole. This is why the ban on transfer activity was so harsh.
Whilst I do not think United’s conduct in the transfer market has been whiter than white, I don’t think that United would be involved in any illegal activity.
If your liverpool you’ve got carte blanche to do watever you want. wazza can achieve anything in the game.
@King Eric @boogeyman
Evening guys, it’s 8pm over here
Crazy really, reports are sprouting ALL OVER FROM NOWHERE. I’m supposing that ever since FIFA took action against Chelsea, every English club is being clobbered all of a sudden. Small clubs are seeing that they might actually be getting stuff out of this entire… fiasco.
Whether the reports are true or false, we’ll never know… but well, I don’t fancy us to be all saint-like when it comes to scouting talent!
On topic for Wazza – he’s phenomenal really, but HE NEEDS TO GET THE EASY GOALS IN. It’s teribly annoying to see him miss bloody sitters!
wazza wazzaaa!! the best player in the engurland team!
@aig alex is god: the recent month has seen one and all praise wazza and has me a littttlle worried too, but i think he can handle it. I’m confident he’s not one to let it get to his head.
I love Re Wayne, if he could consistantly score between 25-30 goals every season which I see no reason him not doing, especially now that he is getting a run through the middle and taking pens! then there is no reason whay he can’t be one if the the best player in the world.
Having said that, I admit that even the best of players feel the heat of the pressure.. lets hope rooney conquers it all!
He was pardoned,King Eric.But apparently there is a rape charge outstanding against him which will lead to his arrest.I don’t know how true that is though.

There just taking the piss now.
king eric yes he has
9/9/09 is a sad day
GHTT, I have heard him say it wasn’t him, it was a Chelsea fan………..
No stephen i heard it was the juventus fans.
I could never understand why the dipper was still out there, the final was on 25th and the “incident” occurred on the 3oth.
Should have had 2-3 more goals to his totals for country over the weekend. Hope he bangs in a few tonight – just to whet his appetite for the game on Saturday.
Willierednut – That is a fucking outrage.
Talking of Rooney I have just seen an interview with Fat Frank (sure its from a week or so ago) . When asked who is the best team mate he has ever played with. straight away – WAYNE ROONEY.
theboogeyman – A rape charge? Fucking hell. Jokers.
It was self-defence,apparently,King Eric.
boogeyman – No it was not. it was Chelsea fans who gang raped her!!
they have arrested 25 scouse drug dealers in ibiza.
Swings and roundabouts
