With the MLS Superdraft next week, will the Sounders draft Rooney?

Wayne Rooney

John Rooney
       With the 11th pick in the 2011 MLS Superdraft, Sounders FC may get a unique opportunity to draft a young man who despite having little experience as a professional soccer player has one of the biggest last names in the soccer world.  Not Wayne but John Rooney a player currently playing in the minor leagues of Englands soccer league has put his name into the hat to try and latch onto a MLS team on January 13th.
       The 5 foot 11 inch midfielder certainly fits a postion of needed depth for the club, and he did have a short tryout period with the club in the summer.But even with his superstar last name, many are spectacular about his talent. Johns brother Wayne was playing for Manchester United by the time he was 20, could it be that John just doesnt have that magic Rooney talent of his brother? You be the judge.
