But nothing like the player he once looked like he was going to be

Looked like he could have been really amazing, once

He isn't and hasn't been since Euro 2004

Just another good striker at a big club, not special at international level. In fact very ordinary at international level.

Ronaldo, Messi, Drogba - all special. Rooney not in that bracket, which he looked as though he would be
