Samuel Eto'o

[BoysInBlue]

This Eto'o business re-affirms my belief that Wayne Rooney will be back here when his current contract with the Mancs expires.

No chance. Too much has gone on and a lot of people would not be able to accept it.

That ship has sailed.

And rightfully so - what kind of a message does it send out when one of the best players of his generation walks out on Everton at 18, wins all his medals with a hated rival, then saunters back in his early-to-mid 30s, gracing us with his presence?

Eto'o is completely different as there is no previous emotional baggage with the club.

 

[RaleighBlue]

Will he start?

You need to update your sig. It's killing me here.

He's kinda poo these days.

Might be a lack of motivation...but he's a shadow of his former self

 

[thirdmantackle]

He'll be back watching his boyhood team from a corporate box, smoking and drinking his face off.
Only way I see it happening..

Also 49 pages on a player they 'didn't want anyway'.

Well we have 43 on David Henen.

 

[riddick]

He won't be good enough for us then.

Exactly, he had his shot at the end of this year if he ran his contract down. He signed a new contract with them and i dont want a....what, 33 year old Rooney(?) grabbing wages whilst being ineffective.

 

[McBain]

Rumours on twitter that Diego Costa is seriously injured now as well. Ooops.

BUT MY FANTASY TEAM FFS

Rooney will be pants in a few years time! Tbh he's already half the player he was early 20's and by the time he decides were good enough for him well......

Nah no thanks, not anymore. Show our youngsters, you leave it's not easy to come back!

 

[Durham Toffee]

It's probably a blessing in disguise for Chelsea that Costa is injured, judging by his performance at the WC.

I hope he asks Roberto if he can come to us on a free and he gives him a straight no. Maybe with a bonus you're not good enough to get on the bench.

Maybe Roberto will consider him when he's 33 if he isnt a complete lard boy by then, wait...

Hmmm, judging by his performances last season and his first 2 games for Chelsea this season, along with pre-season form I'd say it's safe to say that those World Cup performances from a clearly unfit Costa mean nothing

I honestly don't think Rooney will be good enough to play for us by the time that contract expires.

He's already in decline. He can't even run past people anymore at 28, imagine at 30 or 32....

It seems nuts that he is so much worse than when he played for us, even though all standard football wisdom says he's 'in his prime.'

I remember seeing how good he was in his first season at United and being so depressed about that. The blow has been softened over the years as he hasn't turned into the 'best player in the world' we all thought he would be.

I guess that overgrown teenage physique he had has done him no favours.

On course to be utds all time leading goalscorer. Five time league champion, Champions League winner, FA Cup winner, 2 x League cup winner....

He's been a fantastic player for them, not sure why you think his physique has done him no favours.
