Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[MACCA75]

He's scored 5 goals in his last 50 games.

Plenty of those in midfield or as sub mind.

Has Rooney cancelled his haircut and gym session to make an announcement yet? If not I'm not worrying about Rooney returning, though it might be a smart bridging signing for a team trying to go from top 7 to CL position.

Bring him home , although it won't sit right with me having a player who is technically wearing a wig !

He's scored 5 goals in his last 50 games.

I'd disregard that, he's played a lot of them games in a deeper midfield role.

Think he'd be playing as a lone striker for us.

Everyone wants this club to push on under the new regime

Buying a finished 31 year old just because he's a scouser and has played for us before is not pushing on.

Need winners at the club.

No one in the premiership has won more (apart from Zlat).

He's 31.

Why is there a discussion?

Or we pick up some random 23 year old lad from Spain or France who's done nothing but slot 10 goals in his first season for £20million and think "yeah, trophies with this kid"

Thumb away. Does that mean I get a better player valuation.


In all seriousness though there's loads in this forum snagging the board off for no ambition and thinking like little old everton. Signing him is the ultimate in thinking like little old everton. It's gazza and ginola MKII but a truckload of more cash

Keane 35
Scholes 39
Gazza 33
Ginola 35

Are you going to throw out any other comparisons which are wide of the mark?

Rooney is younger than Barry was when he signed for us & is going to cost something similar to what Kone has for us.

That's assuming it's a 3 year deal as well, personally I think it would/should be 2.

Why is he finished?

I'll rephrase... Who is a better alternative?

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

I read that and felt the same way (though without the superb hair)

 

[Moomin]

He'll be part of the deal for Rom.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

He'll be part of the deal for Rom.

Rom has probably gone regardless of Rooney coming.

Arsenal signed 33 year old Cech

Man Utd signed 34 year old Zlatan

Chelsea signed 36 year old Didier Drogba

Liverpool signed 32 year old Rickie Lambert

Man City signed 36 year old Frank Lampard

dunno why you are all moaning about signing Rooney because of his age, he will bring experience and competition to the side, lets not forget next season will be competing in Europe so there will be a lot of rotation to keep players fresh.

No room for logic in this thread it's all holding a grudge for 13 years lad, that's what makes you a true blue.

Wayne Rooney left Everton years ago because he was on an upward trajectory and we weren't. Now we are on that upward trajectory and he isn't. Buying him now is a retrograde step.

If that Independent article is correct, it's fantastic news.
