2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[blue61]

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!
Everton FC are pleased to announce the signing of Olivier Girouds beard. "I'm hoping to form a great partnership with Wayne Rooney", said the beard in an interview on L'equippe.

 

[Steve Holt]

Well, you've got a problem then cos if fit, he's gonna play more than he doesn't.

Yeah, I think he's a guaranteed starter no matter what unfortunately.

 

[Brahford]

He is not the player he was, but, he is still a very intelligent player, he needs, and always has needed, a run of games to get up to speed. We have not signed Rooney the super star but we have signed a very good technical player who knows how to win and loves this club.

Let's all give him a chance

Equivalent of shearer going back to Soton at 35 ..

 

[Brahford]

He looks quite good!

 

[Ollie d]

lol at him dyeing his beard, the massive gimp.

I hope he scores against United and doesn't celebrate.

I hope he scores against the Mancs and goes berserk, pulls his shirt off to reveal his Everton pj's...

Now we just need to sign Pulisic so NBC will show all of our games

Get beardy Giroud in and get Siggy to cultivate his facial hair and we'll have the hairiest forward line in the Prem.

 

[Bally8]

Koeman doesn't see old Wayne as a striker sees him deeper.

So in his mind our current striking options are.

Unproven Sandro and not up to it DCL.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We can't have him choking in this game. He has to be a leader on the pitch and show some sort of composure tomorrow. I've already accepted that he may be an auto-inclusion for serious fixtures whether I like it or not. We can't have McDonald's Rooney show up tomorrow.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'd leave him out tomorrow personally.

I'd leave him out tomorrow personally.

Koeman said he's starting unfortunately.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Massively important game for him today. If he can get a goal to relax himself and get his confidence up he can drive us on in the next four very difficult games and we could make a flying start.

If he takes a while to score this season he could be trying to do too much.

 

[arbok]

He'll be fine. Why is everyone so worried?

I saw him whenever he got games at united when he was a goal off equaling/beating their goals record and he was trying too hard and making the wrong choices. I don't want him under pressure to make his 'triumphant goal scoring return' or whatever the media want to call it.
