Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[joey_macmo]

I have said before, stats like that mean nothing to me. They are just numbers.

Just from a simple eye test. He looks finished (when he actually plays).

I do find it odd that we seem to be turning our nose up at players who are "not good enough for a team challenging the top 4" yet lots of us seem chuffed at the thought of signing a bloke who in 2017 is not good enough for a team challenging the top 4.

You'd make a great barrister then.

You cant make absolute statements like "zero evidence" to people that are clearly based on opinion & expect to be taken seriously.

He has been crap for two years.

That's as basic as I can put it.

Track record of being snubbed by players playing champions league.

Perez can't get in a struggling Arsenal side apart from cup games.

If we're throwing stats, Del would still be here.

Ged is another one who looks good on a piece of paper though.

.

Perez was 17M and has got 8 goals in 22 games. If he got a game every week then who knows how he may have done. Rooney has 5 in 35 by the way.

probably even longer than 2 years

I'd rather play Lookman. Or some hungry kid from the lower leagues. Take off the blue tinted specs and it's the same thing. Save us a lot of money and frustration down the line when people realise it's not the second coming they want to make out it's going to be.

Maybe we should have a bit of dignity as a club. The time for Rooney to come back (and it making any sense) was 5-7 years ago, but obviously we didn't have any money back then. That's when Rooney could have have made a statement and said, "Yeah, I'm a REAL Evertonian!"

People want him back now. When there are better options. Lol... How's that for ambition.

"Not that the stats tell a true story or anything."

You conveniently missed out this bit?

Bit naughty of you that....

I would only take him as a squad player but sadly I think Koeman would see him as a first teamer due to his name. If we got Rooney and shoved him out wide/in the hole and Southampton go and sign Sigurdsson I'll be fuming.

I'd like to update the thread with my latest feelings on the matter.

He can eff off to China, and our management/scouting team can do their job properly please. Thank you.

I'll have a rethink in a few weeks and let you all know the latest. thanks guys

I think if Koeman wants him , id rather trust his and Walsh's judgement of a player
than a few lads on here

If he's on something like 150K a week and we pay a nominal fee, he's going to make that back in just shirt sales alone like

I can't see that, most Evertonians I don't don't buy shirts, those that do hardly put a players name on it. The United fans around the world who buy Rooney's stuff will move onto to whoever they buy this year.

I can't see the shirt sales justifying £150k a week, that's before you bring whatever deal we have with kitbag into it.

 

[Groucho]

Btw, if he doesn't arrive this summer, can we put this to bed once and for all?

Probably until he becomes our payer manager at the age of 43 yes.

In my eyes, casuals will go nuts for Rooney Everton shirts, especially if he does well and we have a good season

From a solely business perspective, there's some merit to the idea

From an on the pitch perspective though, questions will rightly be asked

I actually think we'd market it well though with the new lot in charge
