Rooney is an intelligent footballer, if not an intelligent human being.
A player like him has the intelligence, positional sense and tactical nouse to play for any team in an attacking capacity.

Surely if that were true all good players would succeed at all clubs; Chamakh was decent before he came here, Vela wasn't but he's had a good season. Andy Carroll was good at Newcastle but flopped big time since moving...
Rooney as he's the most effective out all three in terms of goal-scoring. Absolutely no chance of him joining Arsenal from Utd anyway.
Jovetic's probably the most realistic out of all three, and the most naturally talented from the little I've seen of him.

At the risk of licking Rooney's crusty bangle, I think it's fair to say that the Scouser is at a completely different level to the players you mentioned, no?
Rooney no doubt. Experienced PL League player that's why.

Hello GT
You are most probably aware that it is highly unlikely we would be paying the fee and wages required to sign him.
3 very different players.
Rooney - Excellent PR (teams fear his reputation), strengths in coming deep and playing as a striker, super body strength, strong in the air, weak creativity.
Higuain - Again very good reputation, finisher of the highest order, very clever in positioning, greatest weakness is that he can drift out of games, not very creative.
Jovetic - Very creative, can drop deep or play up front. Above par dribbling and unlocking defences, Weakness is his finishing.
All 3 players are top top class. Rooney is a dream signing. It would elevate Arsenal, with Rooney/Walcott/Wilshere/Oxlade/Gibbs/Ramsey we would have the same type of core, that helped Man Utd dominate during the last two decades.
Jovetic is a class finisher.
Where's the summer transfer deal thread gone?
