Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[Papa Shango]

Because Everton needed to sell him just as much as he wanted to leave.

& im a grown up

You can hold a grudge and not let it effect your life. being a "grown up" has got nothing to do with it.

It's only football, and within football grudges are a good thing. Tribalism, us against them etc. Without it you have nothing.

Is he out of contract this summer?
I'm sure I've read that he's contracted til 2019...

He signed one not too long ago didn't he?

They will probably let him go for nothing as it would end up being cheaper for them with his ludicrous contract.

Some players still have it in their locker to carry on into their mid thirties and I see Rooney in the same category.

He would be a great marketing asset for the club also as he is a worldwide name.

Free transfer? It's a yes from me.

Think what the likes of Barkley and Davies would learn from him.

Koeman does seem like the sentimental type - if he brings Rooney back he does so because he thinks he'll add to the team and improve us - not just a gimmick.
I also think with England, a major tournement next year and the chance to be part of something special at his boyhood club we could possibly get a couple of big seasons out of him.

I imagine if Rooney signed it would encourage Ross to sign a new contract if he currently has any doubts.

Anyway, if it's a free transfer at £150,000 a week I think it's a no-brainer. Still has something to offer and coming back to us could reinvigorate him for a couple of years.

yes let's break our wage structure to accommodate a 31 year old who isn't good enough to start for his current club.

Who's current club is better than ours.

Doesn't seem rather!

And if he's willing to take an almost 50% pay cut to come back that speaks volumes. He could quite easily go to the States or China for 1-2 years and earn 3 times what we can/will offer.

Exactly mate, he's more of a fan than the majority of people on here.

I imagine it'll be Rooney plus cash, say 20m, for Ross Barkley.

His wages will be offset by any and all commercial opportunities his return will provide, it's a no brainer if it's to be believed. I think there will be benefits on the playing side also as having someone with his experience will rub off on others, especially if things do really start to kick into gear with Everton. Tomorrow's anticipated stadium announcement will be the acid test of our ambition IMO.

 

[Thomasc]

The thought of Barkley (fingers crossed), Davies and Rooney does excite me rather! especially more so if Lukaku stays another year.

Whose first team isn't much better. Which is the argument.
