Not exactly open arms.. but I am one of those people that think Rooney will be a good signing.
Rooney was the best young player of his generation and in Europe at the time .. ross isn't and never has been.
Rooney left for the biggest and most dominant team in the league
Ross won't be
Rooney was still a boy
Ross isn't
Rooney left to play for the best manager of all time
Ross won't
Everton finished 17th and were going nowhere... when Rooney left
We are getting a stadium and obviously trying to push on now... but ross wants out
Literally every evertonian was heartbroken or angry and every single one of us without question wanted Rooney to stay..
That is not the same with Barkley..
not really the same situation as Rooney's IMO .
