Yeah I'm sick of all the moaning that the standard is lower and look at the teams he scored against. Yet look at how many home internationals Charlton played. The gap then to the home nations was bigger than it is now in standard and if Rooney got to play as many games against that lot he'd probably have another 20 goals.
I don't think Rooney is the player he once was but I rather doubt that Charlton was playing at his best by the end of his career either.
