Generally can you please define talent for me, maybe you have before hand but frankly the amount of dross in your posts is unbelievable. If you are reffering to skill then i don't know who you can even compare the two players, not only do they play in different styles but also different leagues, in the premieship its all about speed and strength, two qualities that Rooney has in abundance. And WTF is 'natural talent', it doesnt actually describe anything at all, just some vague notion.
So, from what i've learned from this theory of yours, i can't compare the two in terms of skill, because they play not only in differente styles, but in differente leagues... sorry but, that's not very convincing!
If Ronaldinho was playing in the Premiership, he would still be as good as he is proving to be in Barcelona... of course, the EPL is more agressive and he would have to adapt to the new rhythm... and he would succeed in doing it! When you're excellent, you're excellent everywhere... even in the EPL...
As for Rooney... yes, he has speed and strenght in abundance, and a good amount of skills too! I agree with that... but what makes him so good, is the physical attributes that he has got; he doesn't stand out for his "awesome skills", bcoz altho he got skills, he HAVEN'T GOT "AWESOME SKILLS", and don't come again with that B*ll**** about him having a different style, bcoz even with his different style of play, he doesn't show half of the skills of Dinho!
Dinho has been 2-times voted the World Best Player of The Year (and very deservedly, by common sense
)... Rooney, didn't even got the third spot... so, if Rooney is so good, why ohhh why didn't they at least award him with the second spot?! =/
I mean, as many are suggesting here: he's as good as Dinho, he scores more and better goals, he has the same amount of skills, he's stronger and faster...
HECK!
That kid is the best ever... even better than Pelé or Eusébio...

And why do you insist that Rooney will never reach the ability/influence of Ronaldinho, i'm not suggesting he has but to write him off now when he's barely started as a player is just absured. How old was Zidane before he truly became a class player?
Also i don't think you can use awards of any sort to measure how much of an impact a player has
I insist in that, bcoz that's what i see, and that's what i believe... if i'm wrong or not, time will tell... but right now, i don't see Rooney getting anywhere near Dinho in terms of talent... =)
I'm not using awards to measure anything....
Ronaldinho's awards are actually a consequence of him being the best right now! Me and millions of other people saw the awards coming even before he won the first FIFA World Player Award...
oh, and BTW... if you really want to know what NATURAL TALENT means:
1. Grab a dictionary
2. Search the word "natural"
3. Search the word "talent"
4. Then, you just make a logical relation between the two of them, in the context of which we're talking here
5. You seem like a learned guy, you should get it easily ;o)
