Look at his goal record Last 5 seasons goals the 5th being this season Rooney 96 Messi 265 Ronaldo 257 There are so many forwards/attacking players better than Rooney, I cant be arsed to add more stats up. Would you prefer in your team Rooney or Lewandowski, Suarez, Neymar, Aguero, Benzema, Sanchez, Immobile, Mandzukic, Bale, Robben...? Wayne Rooney is not, has never been, and never will be world class. Unless I'm missing some sarcasm, the only idiot here is you iwebbyyy. Can't really compare Rooney with Messi and Ronaldo (yes they are better players) goals wise, if Rooney was playing against League 1/Championship opposition most weeks I'm pretty sure he'd have scored more.

A very good player, but not world class Agree. Top class in premiership, but not even on the bench in a World XI

I'm not so sure that the quality is that bad, or that the quality of the Premier League is that great either to be honest. But I think you'd be mad to think that Rooney is anywhere near the quality of Messi or Ronaldo, or many other strikers such as the ones I named either.

Rooney would not get in my premier league XI never mind a world XI. And if this years form has anything to go for he would not get in any of the top 4 sides teams in the premier league. He needs to concentrate on either trying to score or trying to create chances as his constant running around the pitch to get touches of the ball is doing nothing for his game

One of England's best players but not world class. I feel England seem to play better without him as well. Unfortunately no matter how good he is people won't rate him highly as he's just a really unlikeable fellow

Hmmmmm, theres one or two on your list I'd rate him over quite easily, but I don't think anyone is saying he is near Ronaldo or Messi quality wise , no one comes close to those two.

Yaya Touré scored 24 last season, a tally that Rooney has only beaten twice in his career.

But Rooney playing in his best position has only beaten that tally twice, a midfielder's tally. I'm not saying he's a bad player, he's good, one of England's best, but being one of England's best no longer makes a player world class, which is what this thread started about. I'd imagine that being one of England's best is what makes people think he's better than he actually is.

This kind of question is so pointless because nobody can agree on a definition of what world class is.
There's an elite band of players around the world who perform consistently at a very high level, are among the most important players for their club and country and have a huge international profile. That doesn't sound like an unreasonable definition of world class, and Rooney clearly belongs in that group.
He probably wouldn't get very close to a world XI right now but is it such a massive deal if some commentator uses the former definition?

If a team was getting picked from the best 11 in the world,plus subs. Rooney would be nowhere near it.
