Rooney to star after Ronaldo

He can be the star to take the team as he has always been overshadowed by Ronaldo I don't think that rooney was over shadowed by ronaldo . Rooney was rather sacrificed to play the unselfish linking role which he willingly played a big part . You see , what ronaldo and rooney do are very predictable , when you watch them especially those off the ball runs . Its tevez who' opponents don't know what to do . Ronaldo is very predictable , he does what you want him to do and takes his chances and rooney could as well play in the exact same position . But for rooney to take those chances , lot of psychological factors must come his way . For one , that his goal scoring thing isn't really what it used to be . He is struck in between the typical poacher's mindset and a flamboyant striker's mindset whenever he is one on one . For that to get alright , he should have a good goal scoring run . Like in his second season , i remember games after the newcastle ones where scored a brace , he went on with a goal scoring strike till the carling cup finals . It was amazing to see him take all those chances with such elegance . But now , since Ronaldo has been there and giving out those every single time we wanted , rooney has enjoyed doing the linking up play . When rooney is going to be unleashed possibly to another free role as ronaldo or tevez , that could happen only when we buy a replacement for saha and play him along with tevez and rooney , i can see rooney scoring a lot of goals and really living upto the tag he was once famous for in everton .
