What would u suggest Everton should have done? We tried to get him to sign, he wouldn't. We tried to sell him, he wouldn't go.
Only Everton could do this? So what have Arsenal done with Sanchez? Chelsea have made a mess with Costa..
Not really sure what the club have done wrong.
I really don't know what else Everton could have done either, short of actually motivating him and saying - 'Look, you are the future, you're the centre of this midfield / attack, we want you here long-term'. But then there's no sentimentality any more and £100K per week should have told that story.
We definitely look more professional than we used to and I was really impressed with the social media, the decisive transfer activity, the investment in the stadium.and then Moshiri phoned SSN and rooney went on a bender. Don't forget Moshiri has invested in Liver Building, made moves on the stadium, brought in his contacts, got USM involved, there's definitely money movements happening. We shouldnt ever let go of opportunities like we did with Tim Howard, for instance, and how we could have really cornered the american market. We need to make the most of having Rooney on board commercially and for his profile, as well as his football. These kinds of things can prove whether we are a smarter business than we used to be.
Still it's a lot better than it used to be, and we can't avoid
