He was the last truly world class footballer we had at the club and I realise Rooney has played for us since. But in an 18 month period with us, he was the best right winger in world footballer...but still I preferred Tricky Trevor Steven. Undoubtedly one of the most underrated players during that era from non evertionians.
UTD have won a trophy this season and still in the hunt for two more
Two more? They could be in 7th later on.
exactly mate. EL and our coveted 7th place trophy

this sums it up. We could get to CL in the future but it will take more time. Even Schneiderlin said that the goal is CL but it would probably be a few years down the road.
Why is it?
In my opinion, him leaving would be a hammer blow to our aspirations for 2 reasons. Firstly, and most obviously, he's a very good footballer. We don't have many players who are already at that elite level, and he won't be easy to replace with the same quality. Secondly, but most importantly, it sends out the wrong message. It's very difficult to convince top class players to join if they can see that the most coveted players you have keep wanting to leave. Losing stones and lukaku in 12 months would make it look like nothing has changed here, at a time when we desperately need to make people see us differently. Last season we clearly struggled to attract the calibre of player we wanted, and being unable to convince one of our existing players to buy into 'the project' is unlikely to help us sell it to others.
