Fourteen years on, it was a very different Rooney taking his seat in the People’s Club Lounge at Goodison Park, holding up the No10 shirt – the possession of Romelu Lukaku until recently – and telling the story of how he had kept the negotiations of his transfer from Manchester United a secret even from his closest family.

The explanation was that his dad, Wayne Sr, would have been so excited “he would not have been able to keep it in”. The same for his mum, Jeanette. “I didn’t tell Kai [his eldest son] either because he was going to school and I didn’t want him speaking to his mates,” Rooney reported. “It was literally once everything was agreed and the paperwork was through that I told everyone. Kai just jumped on me. It was the happiest I’ve ever seen him. My dad, too. Obviously he’s an Evertonian and he’s been going to Manchester to watch me for the last 13 years. Now he’ll just have a five-minute drive.”

Great to see the buzz about rooney coming home.

you're missing the point completely. And I suggest his lifestyle in China wouldn't comprise eating chickens feet and fermented eggs (unless that was his preference). At 500k a week for say two years, living a lavish lifestyle in a different culture that would certainly enrich his childrens' world appreciation/education, it's a no-brainer.

PS and those inventions called aeroplanes would permit his kids to see their grandparents a lot.

'No brainer' indeed. Looks like Rooney didn't see it your way after all @a bell maul, guess I was right :coffee:
