I have a paper due, too, but just finished with it. 
Good luck.
I'll wait for your response tomorrow. As for your other points; I really don't know Lyon well enough so I won't say anything about that.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree about Aquilani. Pool paid over 20 M for this guy. He was one of Roma's best players despite the many injuries, and even when he played for Pool in second half of the season, albeit out of position, he was their best player against Athletico Madrid in the Europa Cup( Both legs ). Not much else can be said since he was out for a good part of the season and Pool were having one of their worst years in history.
Rooney? He's got the ability no doubt, but I have a lot of players in mind I think are in better form that Rooney. That's all that counts in the end, is form.
I also expected a lot more to Marchisio, but I would still give him the benefit of the doubt. He's shown promise and he's still putting in decent performances. I'm confident he'll get better with time.
Good luck.

Of course a lot of players are in better form than Rooney, if you are talking exclusively about this season. But its still too early to make such judgments, if we're talking form, then you can even consider Quagliarella to be in better form than Rooney. But is he a better player? Of course not. Can he sustain the status of "being in better form" than Rooney? Barring any miracles, i highly doubt that.
Hate resorting to overused cliches, but the good old form is temporary idiom comes to mind here.
