Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

It's the thought of Bill in tears at a press conference claiming this is the biggest moment in the history of the club that makes me almost ill
BK sat next to Wayne. Elbows him in a jokey manner.
"Once a blue, always a blue eh son !!"
*winks
Smiles at camera.
 
Gazza and Ginola were more talented than anyone in our squad when we signed them. They still offered us nothing because they weren't able to transfer that talent into performance due to the fact that their bodies couldn't match their talent. If we start next season with Rooney in our first eleven we are going nowhere

Ginola was 35 mate.
 
In a lot of posters opinions he is his good enough , in a decent amount of posters he's not ( see poll ) but the salient fact here is both Koeman and Walsh have PUBLICLY stated he is good enough.
Wether that's as a guaranteed starter or as a player for certain games or as an impact sub we won't know for sure.
What he can offer though is experience , a winning mentality and guidance to the younger players.
Also a high profile name for other targets to notice has signed for us.

Worrying that our director of football and manager should think this, what are we paying Walsh for ?

Casinos and brothels exactly what the youngsters need to avoid

At the end of his career, very off putting for any players with ambition, but typical Everton.

I agree he could be a good influence on our younger players and he may be useful as an impact sub but that is it. He would be coming here expecting to be a first teamer. We need to sign better players than him in his
position for our first team
 

We need more Rooneys and less Valencias.

There's a chance that him coming back could re-ignite his hunger for the game, and we just need one top season from him to give us a trophy or top 4.

It's a no brainer in my view.

Trouble is he has not got a season in him. He will always have a hunger for the game however he is well past it
He has no other premier clubs after him as he is washed up and past it
This is down to Kenwright and nostalgia, he cant get into the United side so why should he get into ours

I think its massively embarrassing being linked to him we should be focusing on bringing in talent not has beens, im not suprised Barklay and Lukaku want out when the best we can do is Rooney speaks volumes about our ambition
 
I'd take him on a free. Would not even contemplate paying united a fee to take back a player who we gave to them for 13 seasons of record breaking service
We have probably got a sell on fee clause from when we sold him.
Signing him on a free would lose us money !!
 
I don't think it's a case of reigniting his hunger. He always appears to have a genuine desire to play and play well and his obvious frustration when he isn't doing this backs it up. But it's debatable whether he's physically up to it.

A lot of people seem to be forgetting just how bad he was for the first half of this season. It's quite possible that Mourinho only kept picking him until it became plainly obvious to everyone, including Rooney, that he wasn't cutting it and he could therefore drop his captain with no fear of it causing a rift in the dressing room.

That said, I'd probably back Koeman and Walsh's judgement over my own in footballing matters so if Rooney does come back here's hoping I'm completely wrong.
