I don't doubt that it's the platitudes in which we offer to these over the hill players, it does my head in.

Thats not true, tell me about how we were close to going bankrupt?
This idea that it suited all parties isnt correct, we didnt elect to sell him in fact the opposite, he handed in a transfer request.
Presently, its quite simple, has he been worth a 180k, no. Its been a bad move for Everton that never should have happened.
Ultimately hes shown zero loyalty to Everton, and taken a huge wage out of the club on his return that is unjustified, his behavior toward the club has always been uncaring and disrespectful.
Simply put he doesn't deserve a role or wage here in the future.
I don't need to hate the player, but it's ridiculous to call him an Everton legend and a nonsense to have any interest in putting any more relevance on him than say James McFadden or Naismith or whoever.
There are actual players out there who do care a lot about their club to the detriment of their career. Totti is a great example.
If a jot was given by Former Manchester United Football Club Legend Wayne Rooney he would have taken a pay cut at some other point in his career and gone back to "his" club. Instead he signed contracts to continue his stay at one of "his" clubs biggest rivals.
He then decided to come back coincidentally when we finally had money and he was no longer wanted at his actual number one club. Whoopdee doo
He is absolutely entitled to do all that of course, but it's ridiculous calling a player who as spent all of his decent years in football at a rival club an Everton legend.
Hopefully he will be gone soon and the conversation can die a death finally and he will go on to be just a wee tiny story in our history,

He should donate half his wages to souljers!!!1’

Wayne is more than 50 Everton appearances behind Ross Barkley, only just got as many as Rodwell ffs!
Any hero worship for him from Evertonians astounds me

Bang on. It's actually, given the persistence of (presumably) his supporters and media types perpetuating this line, more accurate to call him an Everton Myth.

Hahaha sure. An everton great. Are you wumming?
He handed a transfer request 4 days before the window shut so we couldn’t get anyone in for his own gain, not the clubs. Regardless of that one goal you mention against arsenal, what has he done to deserve being called an Everton great? I don’t care if he played for England or not, it’s testament to our academy, doesn’t make him a club great, makes our academy great. He is a united great, not an Everton great. He could have stayed for another season when we were in desperate need of him as we had nearly been relegated but was only concerned with himself, which is fine, but don’t then use that to make out like he was saving the club from ruin, he wasn’t. We rejected offers, if we needed to sell him to stay afloat, it would have been done earlier and without him handing in a request which would lower the value.
He has scored 28 goals for us. Nothing special. lukaku did that in one season for us.
Hibberts more an Everton great than a rooney. (I love Tony so may be biased).

His goal against Leeds breaking a hoodoo against them that went back years was fairly nice.

But still doesn’t make him an Everton great. He’s scored a Few decent, or important goals, but James Vaughan scored to become our youngest ever scorer, is he an Everton great?
Brutal lol

Its not weird.
A grudge is a grudge. Its supposed to stay forever, it's not something that can be turned on and off depending on the situation.
Footballing grudges (and it needs to be purely footballing, nothing personal, I don't hate Wayne Rooney the person) are an essential part of football and they need to be pushed harder and not just be forgotten about.
I don't want to be part of a game where I can't sing "Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside" about Steve McMahon 20 off years after he has retired just because its fun for example.
