2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[BiggyRat]

I was certainly in the camp against his return but I'm man enough to admit that I almost teared up watching that goal!

Right...time to smash some concrete!...*ahem*

His name carries so much weight, not often you see an Everton video on YouTube get 150,000 hits in 12 hours

Not his biggest fan but got us the win and played well in the second half. More of that please Wayne.

...I was thinking similar myself. We beat Stoke 1-0 and nobody would be interested but because Rooney scored its on newscasts all over the globe. I'm sure that's part of the reason he was brought in. More specifically, to raise the clubs profile.

As much as I love watching him, I still hope the Manager uses him sparingly.

Can reinforce that. Just made the evening news here in Oz! Now...to capitalise!!!

United was work. Everton are love. He was playing for fun once he slotted. Proper footballer.


Welcome home lad

Top post, I think he will make a massive difference on and off the field, yesterday was just the start.

Can someone send the DVD of his 2nd half performance to Barkley please.

 

[blue to the bone]

Look at the sports pages of all the Sunday papers today. He is headline news. Has to. Help raise our profile. So as well as scoring Match winners that's what he also gives us

The lads posting on the first few pages of this thread never saw yesterday coming.

His goal was pure instinct, anticipated the cross, got his body in a good position, bullet header into the net. Hope there's more to come like this, because he's clearly still an incredibly talented footballer.

Now imagine that move with old rubber shins....

Gana lays ball into him. Ball bounce off the big galute 5yds behind Gana & Stoke attack...

You can't really teach much of what he did yesterday, it just is...he had it at 16.
