Will Rooney play again for Everton?

No. I don't want him back either. Not because I'm still angry he left, I'm over that as most people are. It's because if he ever does decide he fancies returning it will be when he's old, fat and useless. No ta.
 
He's obviously going to take a cut in wages, but he's made his money, he could come back here on 80k a week and if he did that, then he'd be rebuilding the bridges.

Maybe I'm just being romantic, I'd like to think he'd see it as the perfect way to end it, at Everton.

Far too much has happened, and to be honest, it deeply hurt an awful lot of people that the best player we had produced for many decades turned his back on the club. He could've been our 'Gerrard', for wont of a better player analogy, and been the catalyst for success, but he wasn't.

And also, before anyone says it, the argument about how 'his sale saved the club' is flawed. He wanted to go because he wanted to go, not because he wanted to save our finances - finances that were the responsibility of the board for putting us in that position in the first place.

Lol yes build bridges by accepting a mere 80k week

Yes, I don't want a player that's past it. He has to still be good enough if he returns.

Not that he will, of course.

There's more chance of me running naked through West Derby village at chucking out time than him coming back.
 
Wouldn't want him draining what little resources we have when his legs have gone.

It was his transfer that made me give up with footballers. When a kid like that, everton mad, "once a blue always a blue" etc, can turn his back on the club so quickly and then run it in the noses of the people who he once used to be, you realise football is [Poor language removed]*ed
 
"See me? I'm 18 years old and I am BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU. I am bigger and better than this club. I am going to go away now, and for the next 15 years win everything in the game, and then when I'm a 30+ year old has-been who can't play at the very top level any more, I will grace you all with my presence, because really, you're the club in my heart. Even though I taunted you all during the times I scored against you, and kissed my Manc badge too many times to mention."

BRING HIM HOME KENWRONG!!!
If he can stay fit, which he has done, he could do a good job here, until we get a billionaire we are what we are, a good honest club with much to admire.

He'd sign off in the best way possible if he came back IMO.

Bloke is a mercenary now and has been for a good couple of years.

The days of him being a lad who just loved playing football and smashing in goals are gone. The last few seasons his whole demeanor has noticeably changed, especially since he fell out with Ferguson. His body-language has been that of person who clearly isn't in love with the game anymore and is only interested in the money. Earning millions at a young age, being the nation's darling for years and having a gold-digger, attention-seeking WAG for a missus have changed him as a person, for the worse.

We could never expect to keep him, I have no problem in him leaving, and with the current modern history of Utd then you can't blame him for jumping ship when offered it to them lot, but it was all engineered by Stretford, at the most we'd have had him for another season max, he was too good for where we are at present.

I'd like to see him back, time is a great healer.

We already have Gareth Barry doing that.

At least we don't have to pretend Barry has some deep emotional attachment to the club when he's playing crap, nor do we have the knowledge that he chose to give his best years to another club rather than us.
