Top premier league player average international player tried every game for England good luck to him at Everton

A credit to football to be honest, had a few issues early in his career while growing up, but has shown exempliary behaviour both on and off the pitch, despite the gruesome stick he's received, good on you Wayne.

He's England's top scorer isn't he?

Yeah sorry millertop I meant not for us but I mean generally against other top international players.
I'm not slating him I think he's had a lot of unnecessary stick always gives 100%

I still think he could do a job, centre midfield or deeper, an area England seem to be short in.

No i don't think he's mobile enough anymore to play at international level in a team like England who like to play the ball quickly. Always thought Rooney slowed the game down when playing deep and was too slow sometimes to react to passes as well which had an overall affect on the team. His best position is number 10 imo but that is also where Dele Alli plays and he would never get in ahead of him nowadays.
