I feel Chicarito halts Rooney a bit. Rooney is more like the Messi of 2008 and can become the Messi of now. Before 2008 Ronnie and Deco were halting him even more. Berba/Tevz
Well, no and no... you are exaggerating immensely, maybe the presence of Chicharito means that Rooney will score less, but the team overall benefits, cos simply Chicharito scores as well...

Anw, I think that we tend to forget how awesome this Barca team really are, but just for your consideration: 5 consecutive hammerings of Real Madrid, including the now legendary 2-6 and 5-0 victories (the 2nd the worse defeat in Mourinho's carreer) twice conquerors of Man Utd (multiple EPL champions) in two separate CL finals, United made to look extremely ordinary when pitched against Barca. Twice conquorerors of Arsenal, including a 4-1 thrashing (the most memorable display by an individual football player in recent decades) and another 3-1 victory over Arsenal in which the visitors did not manage a single shot (on or off target) Plus, thrashings of Lyon, Inter, Bayern Munich, Shaktar and another 0-2 victory over Madrid in the Bernabeu...what did I leave behind???
