Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

It doesn't with me. People need to let it go, it worked out best for everyone in the end even if there was hard feelings for a while. He achieved his dreams by winning every trophy and we as a club were saved from going down the toilet.

If Rooney wants to come back as a supporter with his kids then he's welcome too. I wouldn't even be against him being offered some sort of role at the club once he stops playing. But to come back now to wear the kit and play for us in games, whether it be league, Europe or cup? No thanks, he's a spent force and it would serve no purpose except to give a minority of emotional fans some closure on a difficult memory.

Classic Everton that one of our greatest academy players came along just at the time we were probably at our lowest ebb. Imagine a young Rooney coming through any time from 2007 onwards, we'd have probably had multiple top 4 finishes and European football every season.
 
Personally, I don't want him back playing for Everton. Maybe a couple of seasons ago, not now though. But Ronny Koe is the main man, and if he thinks Rooney is worth a punt, who am I to argue?
 

Think we'll only get one good season from him...he'll have lots to prove to win Evertonians over again. He hasn't been motivated for a while now...but imo he still has the ability...a yes from me
 

could you run me through the positives cos apart from selling a few shirts in asia all i can see are negatives.

No problem

Negatives:
- MIGHT be past it
- Expectations will be high meaning he's on a hiding to nothing
- Could possibly be hampering a youngsters place in squad

Positives:
- Still a big name player that may help attract other players to club
- Huge financial/ marketing exposure
- A proven winner at the club
- A great role model for younger players
- Will clearly have a point to prove, so could be getting the Wayne Rooney with that fire back in his belly hopefully (and that player WILL improve our 11)
- Not arsed about salary - we are minted
- Can see it improving atmosphere in ground due to obvious reasons (coming home etc)
- Best case he improves 11, worst case he improves the squad

Could go on but getting bored myself now
