How many leagues has Wayne Rooney played in?
Now surely you can see Wayne Rooney is an entirely different kettle of fish? 1) his skill is incredible, 2) he's surrounded by world class players and 3) he's coached by, imo, the world's finest coach. Boyd os nowhere near as skillful or naturally talented, he is not surrounded by the Giggs' and Scholes' of this world and he sure as hell isn't coached by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rooney is the exception, not the rule.
It's an easy comparison to make though. There are LOADS of players in Boydy's position who are just better players through having a much better attitude than Kris displays. His lack of interest is what really gets to me at times.
I agree but Walter will sort that imo. He's gonna learn and quick that if he doesn't shape up, he'll be shipped out.
But the fact remains he won't instantaneously go from out-and-out goal poacher to a lone striker. We bought him for his instinctual goal scoring, now we need to try and curb that instinct. It won't happen overnight but it will happen and when it does, I believe we will see Scotland's greatest forward in a long time.
