Who mentioned 200k per week Rooney is on 260 k per week UNT will expect us to chip in to subsidise that salary!

You said you'd rather we gave the money we'd need for Rooneys wages to Ross instead. That would mean offering Ross in excess of 200k per week.

I think you need to relax Joe. Koeman has signed Klaasen, Sandro, Keane and Pickford, with Onyenkuru to come. All under 24. He's also integrated DCL Tom Davies, Lookman, Holgate and Kenny will now come through this year. Who knows maybe Dowell and Galloway will too.

I think we are in good shape. In fact an experienced head like Giroud would be very welcome. As long as they don't just bring experience but also quality and a good attitude.

We've just signed four players who are all in their early twenties. Our core squad as it stands (the starting eleven plus subs on a match day, imo):

Jagielka - 34
Baines - 32
Williams - 32
Coleman - 28
Bolasie - 28
Schneiderlin - 27
Gueye - 27
Robles - 27
Keane - 24
Klassen - 24
Lukaku - 24
Pickford - 23
Barkley - 23
Ramirez - 21
Calvert Lewin - 20
Holgate - 20
Davies - 19
Lookman - 19

Average age of 25. That's a young squad if anything.

I'm referring to Rooney as a fan, not his playing career. Unfortunately, football is now just a business and Rooneys won a stack of medals for another club. It doesn't mean he isn't an Everton fan and wouldn't bring that passion were he to return. Time will tell I suppose.

That good he was dropped!

Yep but competing with Zlatan, Rashford, Martial etc

For us he'd be replacing Kone or Niasse and would be a good older head to accompany young Sandro, and hopefully Giroud

Don't get the negativity - is it lingering resentment that he left in the first place?

it's a great opportunity which we're only getting because of his emotional connection to the club...
