Excited to see what the announcement video will be like.

Bombing round Goodison before stopping to see Wayne stepping out of Byrnes chippy with a fish special

OAP special.

I don't blame him one bit for leaving and really find it bizarre that grown men are still upset about something that a teenager done 13 years ago.

But hypothetically, if I had a son playing for everton, and he told me he fancied a move to United, I'd tell him he's disloyal and an idiot. I'd be utterly distraught he'd want to leave and under no circumstances would I be able to encourage it.

...Rooney was unique at 17, almost globally known and ready to play at the very highest level. If he was my son, I'd certainly have encouraged him to make the move because he was ready. I think that has been proven with the illustrious club career he's had.

BRING HIM HOME

BRING HIM HOME

I'll say one thing for him, he's a looker!

Of course there will be players who buy shirts of their favourite players, regardless of the clubs they play for.
I bought a Landon Donovan shirt after his first loan spell because a) he made an impression on me b) i've the personality of a 14 year old.
Are you telling me i'm the only one in the world who has ever done that?
Come on mate!

I am sure people do it.

I am not convinced that 100M Instagram followers or whatever are going to do it. The difference (if we didn't have the Kitbag deal making it all pointless anyway) would be negligible.

Besides...the shirt is rubbish.

 

[Death]

Weren't we all jizzing in unison over signing a 55 year-old Etoo a few years ago?

I'll say one thing for him, he's a looker!

we have so many sex bombs that we need one big Shrek to balance the scales.

Judas.

Booooooooo!

If he signs and Lukaku is sold for £80m plus I will be quite happy.

Bring him home!

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

Our most popular player on Instagram is Lukaku on 300k followers.

Rooney has over 10m.

Yes 10 million United fans none of whom will be rushing out to buy everton shirts. It's a myth that Rooney is going to bring us some sort of financial windfall. Plus he is an over the hill striker, not exactly the sort of name that people want to walk around highlighting in their shirts.

Not for me mate , he's an instinctly fantastic finisher.
Part of a front three he'd be brilliant.
His last 2 years he's been pushed out wide , played midfield & dropped deeper.
He's a goalscorer take that away & its a waste of time signing him.

Agreed, but does he still have the legs and the mobility to play up front? He also has great vision and could supply passes for the likes of Sandro, Bolasie, Lookmanand Roms replacement.

Over 500 pages and no mention of grannies.
Evertonians have evolved...

 

[Azza]

Questions around his fitness are justified but the fact remains he has the creativity and skill to completely change a game for us.

Especially against the 'top 6'. We have no one in our team now and we haven't for many years.


If he's starting or off the bench he will create chances and score goals if he gets the service. If Ronald gets him performing consistently then I have no doubts he will be superb for us once more.



Welcome back Wayne.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Well yes, as an Everton supporter for over 30 years, signing a has been is embarrassing I am sure I am not alone in thinking we can spend the money on alot better player

What money?
