Royal Rotheralad To compare the two is laughable,
It's fanciful, and a bit of fun, not laughable.
Any comparisons are fanciful at Walcott's age of course, but out of interest, do you think Rooney will achieve more than Henry?
(I have a fear that Rooney might become a Norman Whiteside by the way, but am sure he can achieve a lot more in his 6 or 7 years in the game.)

I am a big fan of Walcott and said at the time Arsenal signed him United, Chelsea and Liverpool would regret not taking a chance on him. He is technically superb, something rare in English players. The only concern is that he relies on his pace too much, but then again so does Henry and it hasn't effected his game.
Rooney and Walcott would be a great partnership for England, let's hope he gets plenty of football at Arsenal and does the business.

alad Alan Shearer was prone to kicking people in the head and elbowing people in the face, yet no one ever said he had an attitude problem. Rooney swears abit and he's suddenly got one.

Royal Rother Maybe I'm being a bit blind here, but apart from the Beckham generation, what youngsters has Fergie developed?
I don't really think the nationality of the players is of any relevance. Wenger just hasn't rated the English youngsters. He goes for intelligent footballers with silky skills and vision and there just haven't been too many of those with a British passport about in recent years, more's the pity. I think he's found one in Walcott.

I actually agree here - just cos Wenger hasn't produced any decent youngsters (bar Cole) it doesn't mean he's not good at it. Look what he did/is doing with Anelka, Viera, Henry, Toure, Senderos, Fabregas, Flamini etc etc - he turned their career around.
