Wasting your time trying to be reasonable and sensible here mate. For some people the messiah is returning and that's all that matters. I remember him playing against Watford last year where he gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen. I remember euro 2016 as well. In fact I can't remember anything notable about him since the overhead against Man City.

I hope he's good for us. People definitely saying he will be need to lay off the kool-aid

Its polar opposites in here, he is either going to be immense and win us the league single handedly or so crap he is going to stink the place out and fall over his own boots. Truth is lets wait and see what he can do. There will be a determination from him to do well being an Everton fan. Lets wait and see if the body is up to it, especially as he has had a rest and full preseason to get into top shape.

For what it's worth I genuinely think the hold up is that he wants the 10 shirt and we're waiting for Rom to officially eff off.

Everton legend claims Wayne Rooney is Bill Kenwright's signing, not Ronald Koeman's
Former Wales ace Kevin Ratcliffe, who as skipper led the Toffees to their unprecedented success in the 1980s, admits to being perplexed over 31-year-old Rooney’s second coming.

Everton legend Kevin Ratcliffe believes that Wayne Rooney’s Goodison Park return is more of a Bill Kenwright production than one of manager Ronald Koeman’s making.

Former Wales ace Ratcliffe, who as skipper led the Toffees to their unprecedented success in the 1980s, admits to being perplexed over 31-year-old Rooney’s second coming.

He maintains it’s a similar headline-grabbing move that brought Paul Gascoigne to the blue half of Merseyside at the age of 33.

Ratcliffe is excited by Everton’s summer spending which is nearing the £100million mark with players like Michael Keane, Jordan Pickford and Davy Klaassen.

But he says: “I’m a little unsure where Wayne Rooney fits into all this. I wonder where he will break into the team? He is still a very good player but where does he get in?

“I know that Everton brought Gazza in during his twilight years and he didn’t do badly, but I think they brought him in at the time as a crowd pleaser. They knew they weren’t going anywhere but they needed to excite people and get people in through the turnstiles.

“That’s not the case now. Also you wonder whether this is being driven more by the club than the manager.”

Ratcliffe insists the increased focus on Everton means there will be no hiding place for the ambitious Koeman.

“There was talk of Barcelona being interested in him. For Koeman to eventually go there he will have to win things at Everton,” he added.

“The big thing with Koeman, he gives me the impression – and some Evertonians won’t want to hear this – that he doesn’t regard Everton as the biggest club he will ever manage.

“Some of the managers we have had have thought Everton was as big as it gets. With Koeman he’s delighted to be at Goodison but he doesn’t want it to be his biggest job.

“He’s hugely ambitious. To be successful you’ve got to have better players. That’s why his standards are high.”

I've a better idea, I'll send another £50 to Alder Hey anyway and you send £50 to a charity of your choice.......

We could do both things?

It will be announced on the same day as Lukaku in order to get all the headlines and knock Rom into the 10th article.....

I'll take that action. £50, to your charity of choice vs mine. Bets void if either player is out for 2+ months with a single injury.

Old in that he's been playing professionally since he was 16. A lot of games on that body. Also isn't a fitness freak.

I think it's a good signing...just saying that a 31 year old Rooney has a lot of wear and tear.

I get your point, I just hope he hadn't been signed to be a work horse the younger players can do that now. If we think of him as a luxury player I think we will be very happy with what he gives us.

It's not his age it's the fact that he's been playing pro football since he was 16. Wears your body out.

Having said that, a fresh start and new motivation will hopefully get the best out of him.

Yes he has played a lot, but for all the games he had player his injury record isn't terrible, there's been a lot of very good players that have been finished at 30, but I still believe Rooney isn't one of them I'm sure he will be very good for us, unfinished business if you like.
