2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[Soap]

His lack of a position is going to be a massive hindrance.

His lack of being able to run is also going to be a massively hinderance.

 

[Carlito]

His lack of being able to run is also going to be a massively hinderance.

I can't think of a role that he could effectively play, which is unfortunate, as he's going to start and finish every game.

 

[DavidBooth]

Absolute sentimental nonsense bringing him back.

No-one on here, not even those who are still clinging onto the hope of the move being a good one, can even say where he should play with any conviction.

If he is still such a great player, he should be the first on the team sheet.

But he is not.

Rooney is clearly in decline and even his supporters on this thread are talking about shoehorning him in somewhere because of who he is, not what he offers (which is negligible).

What a ludicrous situation when we're rebuilding a team of more youthful prospects for the future.

Apart from the fact he is Wayne Rooney - with all the tear-jerking tosh that goes with it - what on earth is he doing here?

He is a cheap jibe-inducing parody of his former self, was a sad waste of space last night and only concerned with just trying to be the Rooney of 13 years ago.

This is not going to end well. For Rooney, or for us the longer we persist with him.

He should be in a front 3, just not with DCL and Mirallas. If he, Sandro and priority striker play as front 3, you would see a marked difference. He is not, and has never been, a target man or focal point no9, so why would he be 1 now?

It's 1 game in and people already slagging each individual player off in each their own thread.

Nothing will be the same.

 

[CrustySack]

The whole team was below par last night. It seems silly to single out Rooney. If he is still below par in 6 weeks time then we can rightfully say he is done.

Lol

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

This.

You can see why he was barely used in his last 2 seasons at United.

He looks like a player with to much mileage who hasn't looked after himself well.

I hope i'm proved wrong though.

You will be

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Pabs, I think people are going to have to accept the strong differing opinions on this theme, was always going to be like this.

I would be delighted if he never started another game for us, although I think he will do okay.

Of course people are going to be intolerant of crap/average performances when they didn't even want the player in the first place. It would be crazy to expect anything other than extreme and wildly differing attitudes to this guy whilst he remains at the club.

I would be delighted if he played every game for us and I think he will be great.

 

[jinkyali]

I thought he was great the first half.

He ruthlessly exposed lukaku major flaws.

Spot on we've been absolutely fleeced for Rom. £75 million + a past it Rooney when Coutinho is likely to go for £90-100 million.

Said from the very start should have gotten £85-90 million upfront for Rom or have done £50 million + Batshuyai at Chelsea or £50 million + Martial at Utd.

 

[bicycleheader]

I believe great to be beyond his powers now

He'll score a few and do okay and his fans will be happy enough.

I'd wonder what signs of greatness you've been seeing in the last few seasons to make you think he'll be great for us.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

It was Wayne's first competitive 90 minutes for several months.

He said himself that he's not fully match fit yet.

Give the lad a chance.

 

[Eggs]

...according to my Racing Post, Rooney is 4-6 to be Everton's top goalscorer this season with Sandro 6-4 and Davy Klaassen 10-1 (all Bet365). I would advise not having a bet with the likelihood of another striker coming in.

 

[Nyhus]

I thought he was great the first half.

He ruthlessly exposed lukaku major flaws.

Strage. All I did was miss Rom while Rooney was playing striker.

 

[Neiler]

I thought he did very well on Thurs, i thought he was playing chess and those around him playing draughts. Looked brilliant when he dropped back to 10, very encouraged.

Still never forgive him though.
