    Rooney is 21 and some say he is one of the greatest young talents to ever play the beautiful game. Lets compare him to Owen at the same age and look at their accomplishments

    Owen
    Scores a wonder goal against Argentina in WC1998
    Scored a hatrick against Germany in Munich
    Scored 2 goals in the 2000/01 FA Cup final to lead liverpool to a 2-1 comeback win against Asenal
    One of the top scorers in the EPL
    Voted European player of the year

    Rooney
    Scored wonder goal against Arsenal in the league
    Scored 4 goals at Euro 2004
    Scored hatrick against Fernahbache in CL debut


    Who was better at 21??

    None, Fowler eats them both alive at 21. [​IMG] heh, anyway I'd go with Owen as Rooney hasnt really accomplished anything, yet.

    Tbh I think Walcott won't be nearly as good as Owen or Rooney were when they were 21. In my eyes Owen's been better than Rooney but if you'd play them against each other you'd probably see that Owen's time's over and Rooney's better.

    i agree whit you, Walcott may be good for his age but i'm afraid he won't play that much as owen and rooney played, arsenal still has adebayor, henry, van persie and those players are still way better then him
