Rooney has played 10 games now and it has taken him this long to score. In all honesty he has been ridiculously over hyped, he was nothing special in the other games and his excellent goal was his one real shining moment. He is a very good talent but for Wenger to say he is better than Owen, was ridiculous, he just wanted to cover his own embaressment at losing after all his cocky remarks about being unbeatable, and at the same time try and put michael owen down.Compared with say Carlton Cole of chelsea who is 6 foot 3, played three or four first team games, and in them scored twice and got and assist. Given a choice I know who i would rather have. Rooney is getting most of his attention through his novelty value (being 16) and has really not done much to show he is worthy of the praise. In my books Carlton Cole has a better chance of being heskeys replacement as he is the big man England need upfront, can score and doesn't fall over. Obviously he isn't ready yet but twenty years from now I bet he has more caps than Rooney. Other youngsters actually worthy of praise at the moment are Kolo Toure, Simon Davies and Paul Robinson.

I can drive!
Bloody hell, he's only 16.
He cant even drive a car yet. That should really say somthin...
He's a very exciting talent. Looked very good when he came on at Old Trafford as well.
And its not as if he has played the full game in each of those 10 or so games. And since when do players become an instant hit straight away...young or old? Look at Bergkamp when he signed for Arsenal. He didnt score his first goal for 7 games i think.

Wenger - nor anyone at Arsenal - has never said that they were unbeatable - that's just the spin put on it by the press.
A member of the press asked if Arsenal could go unbeaten this season, and Wenger replied along the lines of "if we keep playing like we have been, why not?"
That is very different to actually coming out and stating "we will not be beaten this season" !
