Oh yes he is.
And I'm saying this take of yours is utter crap. I've argued this with you for ages now.
So wait, you are saying Rooney wasn't an elite player? I thought he was crap for his last 3yrs at Utd, maybe longer, need to remind myself but that doesn't mean he was never elite.
Owen highly subjective but thought he only had one, possibly two good seasons in his entire career, I would never class Owen as an Elite player.
Bentley was only ever 'tipped' as potential, NEVER played at his potential for us or for Balckburn, NEVER went beyond potential ever, don't even get the relevance in bringing him into the conversation for comparison.
Dele has already played and performed at the highest level for us, he outperformed the tag "potential". He's actually played and performed as you would expect an elite player to do.
I didnt say he was just potential. I said he burst onto the scene young and now hes shit
