Er you certainly did make him out to be exciting with talk of hat-tricks and bicycles, as if he pulls off such feats regularly. Obviously it's subjective, and as a United fan you're biased, but I don't find him all that exciting.
As for Cantona and Ronaldo those two had individual brilliance that had nothing to do with the team - the kind of brilliance people show up in droves to see. Everyone knows of Ronaldo's accomplishments, but Cantona at his best was league player of the year as United won the double. For me, Rooney just doesn't have that same magic. If he did, I somehow doubt Sir Alex would be bidding some 30 million on an under 20 attacker with flair they don't really need. Again, I think he's a great player, and this is all subjective and relative.
United does need Moura. Just not for our current problem.
SAF has ALWAYS built teams from youth, while mixing in experience. If you look at the pre-season team (minus Bebe, Berba & Scholes), you'll see that they're the next generation, and he is looking for a Ronaldo like player (Moura) to fit into that team.
Moura has amazing ability and moulded under someone like a SAF, he has potential to be insanely lethal. He has the potential to reach "the kind of brilliance people show up in droves to see".
I agree, it's subjective, you may not find Rooney exciting, but that's your opinion. While I take nothing away from the greatness of Cantona & Ronaldo, just also remember the amazing supporting cast that they had around them.
