Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[TheFinnFan]

There's no doubt he would improve us but so could dozens of other players who would be younger and cheaper. I wouldn't be devastated if he signed but I would be a bit disappointed.

You would be 'a bit dissapointed' if we'd sign Rooney. Listen to your self man.

Jeez.

Fair point. I guess, as fans, it's probably about value for money in performances. As in, we could get 3 players for that one. Whilst your point is still valid with that last argument, I can only offer that people are thinking of the long term prospects of the club.

Also a very fair point.

It just seems that too many people (not aimed at yourself) have played too much football manager these days and pretend to know how the finances of the club work (to clarify I have no clue either) and how to gauge what to pay a player. Great game but still different to the real deal.

Koeman even said himself that Rooney has "2/3 years" left in him. It's not as if we'd be spunking 350k a week on him for the next decade.

Jeez.

He's way past his prime. I think we could get younger and better for less.

He's won the lot and has ample left in him for what we need out of him.

It's not as if he'd be the only signing of the summer either. We can have him AND this nameless, younger, better and cheaper player that you speak of.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Clearly he could be 'persuaded to leave'.

No, he just never made the grade sadly.

I was fortunate to be born in this fair city to a family of Evertonians. My dad and uncle not only attended home matches but when time and money allowed away matches, pre war before motorways when trains spouted steam. They were Evertonians. I grew up surrounded by Evertonians who scraped money each year for matches ,season tickets and travel to see their beloved toffees. People who travelled the length and breadth of not just the country but Europe and in some cases further to see the mighty blues. Then as now people who will travel hundreds of miles to shout themselves hoarse on a rainswept terrace in some desolate town , witness victory or defeat, travel home happy or despondent and do it all again the following week. These are Evertonians. I hear sometimes of people who support Everton from afar who save their money and travel vast distances to see Everton play just once in their lifetime. They are Evertonians.
Since I began watching football I have seen many players who gave everything on the pitch from the sadly recently departed Alex Young,through players such as Brian Labone, Alan Ball, Joe Royal Howard Kendall, Mick Lyons, Bob Latchford,Neville Southall, Graeme Sharp, Peter Reid, Andy King, Tim Cahill, and many more. Some were local lads , some were born reds, some came from afar , they all loved the club and served it as far as they could. They were all Evertonians.
Rooney left the club when he was a snot nosed kid, to make a career (and a fortune) as ManUtd'S captain and top scorer.
He is NOT an Evertonian, no way. What has he ever sacrificed for Everton to compare with any of the above? Nothing.
Do one Shrek you ugly traitor.

Cab somebody put this to the music off Titanic?

Ta.

Obviously he's not the player he was and will playing wise probably be a decent addition to the squad, more importantly though if he does sign up then he could be the catalyst for swaying 3-4 really decent players to the club as well, so overall it may work out well....

Also he is only 31, so we've been saved the indignity of him waddling back to us in 5 years time...

I mean, I'd rather have Rashford like, but I'd welcome Rooney with open arms were he to return

Yeah but you like Scottish football so your opinion is invalid.

rooney is a far better player than kone/Valencia or anyone else weve had challenging rom/barkley over the years, he a massive blue, he is like it or not a worldwide superstar so the attraction he would bring to everton alone is absolutely massive, he is respected by absolutely everyone in the game so as someone else said it could help attract people to everton who might not have been sold by the "project", if he takes a wage cut which he'll obviously has to it shows hes not here to just pick up money and he does actually want to be here

moanig lizards some of youse lar, weve gone from kone niasse and Valencia with rom to maybe rooney

There are other players!!!

Kone and Valencia are totally irrelevant in the Rooney discussion.

Selling our souls for some mentions on Sky Sports News. Boss.

selling our souls? what are you on about lad? do you still begrudge rooney living an awful team with no future ( how it looked at the time ) to one of the worlds biggest clubs winning every trophy possible?

I don't get it, it's simple he will improve everything about everton tenfold therefor would be a great signing
