I understand this point of view as it makes more sense even though I disagree with it. I just think Rooney is very underrated because we're too familiar with him and his off form patches. Add to that the fact that apart from 2 seasons, he never really had a concrete attacking starting spot and he did pretty well in those two seasons. I mean if the alternative was Messi, Ronaldo or even Suarez then yea of course, that's an upgrade, but I feel we tend to over hype the rest. But like I said, at least that's a logical thought, suggesting we should buy someone and let him and Rooney fight it out simply does not work in the modern game.
