Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[Moomin]

No it isn't!

You are being proper weird here!

I'll sort a poll for you and let's see what the people think.

Hope you're at least half joking with this mate.
Agreed that they're going with players on their way out or subpar youngsters, but I would hardly consider Oscar a non league quality player.

Well that is with the influx of the new players of course. They are in the process of improving the league hence the interest in Rooney etc.

We have a very good disabled team and program through EITC, I'd say a disabled person who plays for the Everton team and puts his body on the line for his club is a better fan than you or me.

He is playing football! He is not going to war!

Oh please do.

You'd claim to be a better soldier no doubt, sitting in front of the telly.

Ok mate.

The ultimate aim of a fan is to be like their heros? Yes or no??

The ultimate 'aim' of a fan.

That's not what a fan is. What a fan aims to be isn't a definition of what a fan is.

Rooney is a better player than all of us. Yeah he is, no one is saying he isn't.

 

[Death]

The ultimate goal for any fan is to play for the team they support. He has achieved that, me and you haven't.

He's a bigger fan due to it.

And don't forget moving to Manchester the first opertunity and scoring against the blues. Mega blue.

Thanks for the condescension, but trying to spin Valencia as a positive most be is naive at best and, frankly, laughable at worst. I state, again, if the best forward we can get after a year of looking is Enner Valencia then I don't know what the point of Walsh is.

Tip for today - don't start it by pounding the bleach. No need to be a total Eeyore just because you can. If you could / would do a better job, you wouldn't be sniding about on GOT. Same for me, la.

The MU fans must be looking down at us even more now at how we need to take their cast off players on a free.

I think the problem is we struggle to attract top class good players and so are being forced to him on- I wouldn't be too surprised if he is our 'flagship' signing in the summer window.

Be a bit stupid of them looking down on us signing their official club captain and all-time record goalscorer. One of their best players is juan mata who was a chelsea player in a fairly similar position to rooney's now at united .... except he wasn't captain.

This isn't really the same us signing a phill neville or a darron gibson off them.

The agreed fee for Valencia is £14m is it not?

Think you're correct.

Valencia has chipped in 3 goals.

Perez to Arsenal was 20M. - 1 goal
Janssen to Spurs was 22.1M - 1 goal
Chadli to Hull was 15.2M - 5 goals
Gabbiadini was 17M - 4 goals
Benteke was 31.2M - 9 goals
Berahino was 13.9M - 0 goals
Batshuayi was 39M - 0 goals
Baston was 18M - 1 goal

By no means an exhaustive list and I was really on looking for forwards. 14M now is not what 14M was 2 years ago. Don't think it would be out of bounds for Everton to stump the 14M. If not, he can go back to the Hammers.

Sure I agree there. I thought you meant they are currently at non league standards. I have no problem with China spending the money they do; it's pretty akin to the Premier League when it was on the up and up.

Yeah of course. I don't think it is a way that will work for them though. At least with the premier league you always had the illusion that they were coming to play in the "best league in the world".

I would much rather be known as a team who makes smart buys that pay large dividends (Seamus Coleman) than a team who forks over 30 mil as a huge roll of the dice on players like Batshuayi (whom I rate and should get more game time/go on loan, however you get what I mean) and gets next to nothing in return.
