I do beleive that is 6 goals in 14 appearances for chelsea and only one start!
Lets pick a random striker who the media like:
Roonaldo 6 goals in 30 appearances for everton and a rather less impressive 11 starts.
Who has the better strike ratio.
Answers on a post card to the Carlton cole should be in the England team society, Stamford bridge, london.
He has surpassed rooneys scoring total in less than a third of the time!
"Bruno" Cole averages a goal every 59 mins of first team football.
Wayne "Roonaldo" averages a goal every 197 mins of first team football.
Nuf Said.
He's only 17 and I agree people go overboard with comments about him like saying he's like 'Gazza of old' etc, but com off it - without Rooney, we would still have the likes of Heskey playing upfront for England. I am surprised that Carlton Cole hasn't been given a chance but hopefully if he continues to play well then he will be called up.
Rooney is hyped up because he comes from a council estate in liverpool.
The media love these rags to riches story, even before he scored his first overdue goal against Arsenal he was in the front sections of the paper, "as the poor kid who has succeeded" due to them hyping him up thats why people take an interest. I mean do you know where your favourite footballers come from (suburb and estate not town or rough geographical location) I know Rooney is from Croxteth (probably spelt wrong) and i'm not a big fan..... I wonder how i knew that! Oh yes its in the non sport sections of the papers.
Fact is that Rooney is hyped up becasue he has scored against the champions home and away.
