Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[coollino]

Currently on the train from London to Peterborough and someone near me just mentioned Rooney's name.

He is wearing a suit so probably one of his agents.

Or it could just be some random fella in a suit on the way to Peterborough talking about Rooney

Unlikely; seems a bit too coincidental to me. No one mentioned him last time I was doing this journey.

Jim White, who hyped the hell out of this on Talksport the other day, just said on Sky 'not as close to being done as some are saying'...

Funny enough Rooney is thinking of doing the exact same.

Me an wayne on the ale 2 evertonians looking forward to an new era of winning trophies

Honestly , this transfer has far more good than bad.

For a start, he's probably the highest profile signing we've ever made. It's easy to forget when you're in the PL bubble, but Wayne Rooney is an astronomically big name in football. Profile wise he's probably got Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo ahead of him, and nobody else.

United are [Poor language removed], and he holds no affinity towards them at all. I didn't mind united under Ferguson, but now they're almost as bad as Liverpool, their fans have turned mongy without the success, they're just chucking money around for the sake of it and their manager is a hobo who lives off takeaways.

Rooney went there to win trophies , he won everything he could win and now he clearly can't be arsed with them and it shows.

He [Poor language removed] hates the national team circus, and rightly so. The only thing he has left to achieve in football is to prove something at Everton, he could go anywhere in the world for a payrise, he could phone it in at United but he's desperate to come here and show us what he can do.

It's. Not. That. Bad.

i can almost picture the announcement video, follows the journey along the M62, into USMFF and down the corridor, pans to Rooney, who gives the thumbs up, and lets out an "erm"

If this was a loan move it could have been easier but if there is complications it could mean we are taking him permanently. A nominal fee between the two parties and then a case of offering him a contract. This has probably been going on for a few weeks between the two clubs. It makes more sense for United to get completely shut. His transfer fee would not even be that much anyway.

They should have Bill driving into USM Finch Farm, gets out and opens his boot and Rooney rolls out

played as a number 10 I can see him being late stage Osman mk 2
his ball retention can be shocking and honestly I don't think his passing is that great

Worse than a bumming?

Depends

 

[blarger]

Watched him play in Carricks testimonial. Looked worse than a fair few of the old timers and he was putting in effort.

The advantages he had in youth are biting him now in his 30's.

Waste of money.

There is no way we'll be paying a fee for him. United want him off their wage bill. As things stand he's due to pick up £26m over 2 years when he's no chance of playing regularly for them.

There's also zero chance we'd be picking up hos contract and paying him £250k+ a week - it just won't happen. We have a wage structure in place.

Any complications will be over what pay off he's getting from them and what contract we're willing to give him.

..I saw him across the road from there a few months ago.

Some of his family moved in to his old house
