If Rooney got back to back seasons where he was consistent, in the same sort of form he had in 2009/10, then there would be no doubt he is world class. Van Persie, Messi, Xavi, Ronaldo, you name the truly world class players... They have all been consistently good at the top level. Rooney hasn't.

Rooney's always been a consistent player, it just so happens when he goes through a dry spell in scoring goals, the whole world seems to notice. His game has always been much more than just scoring. Also the Rooney that plays for Utd is a very different player at times than the one in an England shirt, but then again England has a history of great players falling short when playing for the national side.
