I hear this all the time but come on, look at his numbers/awards. I don't want to say it's disrespectful but deff seems irrational. It comes off as old grudges.

Baines was nowhere near Rooney as a Footballer, as great as Baines was for us.
There is a reason why Baines played for an Everton side fighting for the top 6, and never won anything in his career, while Rooney moved to one of the biggest clubs in the World, won all there is to win, and became one of Englands greatest ever players.

Arteta for me. Loved watching him control games.
We never saw the best of Rooney otherwise it would have been him.

Not saying it is but that's how it seems when you look at his time in the game. He had a marvelous career, just at the wrong club.

I think he had an incredible career , broke records everywhere . However I watched as a kid and in my opinion he should be spoken about in the terms of Messi and Ronaldo . I think we were looking at a generational talent but for a variety of reasons , including lifestyle but also that Ferguson (who I think is a phenomenal manager ) was happy to move him about rather than say Ronaldo .
Regardless of my opinion Writers are already talking as if Bellingham will rival Rooney , if he does it’s because the trajectory of Rooney’s career didn’t reach the heights it could have . That doesn’t mean it wasn’t amazing , because it was , but do you think he had the talent to win a ballon d’or because I do . I think Ronaldo won another ballon d’or at the age Rooney was back at Goodison and how many trophies did him and messi win after the age of 31 when Rooney had returned because it’s a few and there is champions league in there .
To recognise Rooney is an unbelievable player and to recognise his incredible achievements but also to say I believed he should have ended his career being in the discussion of who is the greatest player of this modern generation isn’t I believe because I’m carrying some kind of grudge. It’s because on occasion I watched something special and appreciated the talent on show .

No potentially about it. He was a generational talent and I'd be amazed if we see his like again.
Shame United got his best years.
I suppose the question is a bit open, really. It doesn't specify that Everton had to have had them at their peak.

He was. look I don’t think we’re massively arguing , my point is I think with the potential he had he should be spoken of with the likes of messi & Ronaldo and he just isn’t . There are a couple of factors responsible for that but my opinion , right or wrong , isn’t based on any hatred or bad feeling for the lad who I think is a footballing star .
As regards Everton we didn’t really see that apart from flashes , typically, in my opinion his best performance was one he didn’t score but could have had about 5 against Bolton and was as good as anything I’ve ever seen ,

Thomas Gravesen a real class act, sold to Real Madrid for 2.5 million.
Neville Southall was the absolute best in the world in his position at one time however that predated the PL. I cannot express my love for this man enough.
If the question is at any point in their career it simply has to be him.
If the question is specifically during the PL era then Wayne Rooney slightly pips Kanchelskis to it for me.
If the question further then is while they were with us in the PL, surely has to be split between Kanchelskis or Lukaku and as much as I loved Andrei, Lukaku was more consistent and present longer.
So yeah lol

No idea what you mean, maybe you can explain...
Baines is one of my favourite players in the PL era, but some of our fans delude themselves about how good our players are.
Players on that list like Southall, Rooney, Kanchelskis and James Rodrigues have the top honours to back up any claims. They also played for some of the best clubs in Europe at that time.
Baines was great in an Everton side that won nothing and was finishing between 5th-8th.
This is true tbf, always gets overlooked because of his injuries, left foot back to goal always seem to spin and lash it bottom corner
