I can guarantee you I won't regret the Gerrard comment. I have the capability of putting down the blue-tinted spectacles. Gerrard has been a fantastic servant to Liverpool through the rough and the smooth, and any club he joins after Liverpool will be what it is - a move away from the place he belongs.
I would not welcome Rooney back at Goodison at any point. We're not a stepping stone for him in his "Gazza" years. He's quite simply burned his bridges.
Gravesen did it the right way. He left for Real Madrid, everyone understood why, and he was welcomed back. Why? Because he was honest about it, and didn't **** of the club or it's fans. He went to a bigger club for the money and prestige - simple.
If you seriously want fat past-it Rooney back here at the age of 32-34, I pity you, as you have no respect for our club, it's size and it's tradition.
The only thing I'm grateful about Rooney is the £27m. But he didn't leave to "do us a favour".
