Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[exiledtoffee]

I think it's been alluded to before that currently we will make very little extra money off increased shirt sales. Any money to be made out of image rights will go ,as they always have straight into 'traitor enterprises' and not Everton. Added to that with his England career over his face will definitely disappear off the cover of FIFA et al and interest in his career will diminish as he enters his dotage with us.

I would agree with you in that it may not do much to generate additional shirt sales in L4, but you would have to admit the first few games with Rooney back at Everton would have huge worldwide media coverage... Win a couple games with a huge audience like that, people start noticing, and he would be the best known player (globally) in the team..... Just saying as a business person, Rooney on 100K a week on a 3 year deal, I think you can make that back easy (if you need to fork out 20M to get him here, that's another story) and I guess I am also in the camp that feels he could still contribute something

Utd fans seem to think he is Championship standard nowadays and do not consider him good enough for our first 11. Bear in mind they watch him week in week out.

Bear in mind they are utd fans....

Having to pay his wages is one thing. Having to pay a fee to get him too. Hmmm. Take him or leave him really at this stage of his career, but if there's a fee to pay its a 'no' from me.

Can't wait until Kenny Powers comes back.

Well, for reasons I've expounded above, I don't see it that way. He's a long time retired from football so will have plenty of time to spend time with his family and mates in the NW then.
While he has the ability to earn BIG bucks, his duty is to do that. Being presently financially comfortable does not enter the equation. It's all to do with the future and the better off he can make his kids, their kids, their kids etc etc the better.

He's extremely wealthy, filthy rich so expound all you like. I'm sure he'd rather his kids can spend time with their grandparents than everyone moving to China and eating chickens feet and fermented eggs just so his future great, great, great grandchildren can afford a solid gold ferrari. Ridiculous.

Wayne Rooney has at least two £50million offers from China to consider as his Manchester United career draws to a close.

But it is thought Rooney would find it difficult to reject an emotional return to boyhood club Everton, despite the riches on offer in the Far East.

The 31-year-old, whose international career was effectively ended when Gareth Southgate left him out of the England squad, is seriously considering two Chinese Super League offers worth £50m over two years. Even by Rooney’s standards, that is a life-changing sum.



He has discussed the prospect of moving to China with his family and will agonise over the decision during the next week. But a last-minute approach from Everton could persuade Rooney to stay.

Everton cannot come close to offering the kind of money Rooney would earn in China, but the club’s hierarchy remain determined to bring home a favourite son.


Everton will offer Rooney £150,000 a week — £100,000 less than he earns at United, whom he leaves with a heavy heart after 13 trophy-laden years. His China offers are worth £480,000 a week.

you're missing the point completely. And I suggest his lifestyle in China wouldn't comprise eating chickens feet and fermented eggs (unless that was his preference). At 500k a week for say two years, living a lavish lifestyle in a different culture that would certainly enrich his childrens' world appreciation/education, it's a no-brainer.

PS and those inventions called aeroplanes would permit his kids to see their grandparents a lot
