Reports: Rooney to leave Everton

[Zatara]

Nice to see Rooney go and a few other midfielders -- Schneiderlin, McCarthy and Besic on the way out.

We have Gana/Baningime and Davies so lets just go and sign a top player there.

The hattrick against Watford was decent, file under ‘alright to see him play for us’ right next to Eto’o.

West Ham.

MLS ? What will we get for a fee ...3 million?

 

[ART]

Not sure his Mrs would go state side, and he will not be allowed to go on his own.

West Ham.

I’m not sure West Ham would have him mate.

 

[Billy Dean]

Loses possession just as much if not more than Davies. No problem with him leaving

 

[TippEverton]

I just think he shouldn't be playing every game tbh. I said when we bought him I'd be happy with him being a rotation player but shouldn't be playing every game. I still think allardyce will go, was just asking the question as to why Rooney would want to leave to go somewhere like that.

The way I see it if we get to a cup final for example, who on earth do we look too under pressure? There's more to a footballer than what he produces on the pitch and I think we have so many squad players to sell already without shipping off our top scorer.

Can't see him being forced out myself, I'd say he's had a fairly tempting offer and maybe realises it's now or never.

Now I'm jumping to conclusions.

I'm not so sure he scored a hat trick against Watford either, all a bit of a blur this season.

Didn't he always start leaking his upset to the press at Utd? He was always after assurances / pay rises / a specific role. And accordingly there were always other clubs interested. Apparently.

Sorry Wayne, you have to earn your place at Everton lad. If you don't like it the bin is over there...

That goal against West Ham was one of the best I've ever seen at Goodison Park.

Generally though I've been disappointed. I was expecting to see a lot more class and ability on the ball. I'm shocked at how often he misplaces a pass or is dispossessed. At his best still an influential player, but the fact he's been subbed 24 times this season speaks for itself. We need better. Let's ship him out and bring in a box to box midfielder.

No problem with him leaving.

It’s like seeing a bird out in town that you were on terrible terms with after a breakup , making amends and clearing the air, then going your separate ways again.

I'm not a fan of the sense of entitlement. He'd still be playing for Manchester if Mourinho hadn't walked through the door. He was the only manager that had a high enough profile to banish Rooney to the bowels of Everton Football Club.

I wished him no ill when he left the first time. We were in a bad place and a big club came after him. He had every right to be ambitious. He just isn't the same player anymore. Signing someone for nostalgic purposes is the type of move that puts you in a bad place.

Take it and run. And no, he probably can’t hack it in MLS these days. The game is not as slow here as advertised. A team like Atlanta will make him look just as bad as he did at times here.
