Should have kept Rooney

[Jimmy Grimble]

For just this season, and jettisoned Tosun instead. We all know he's on the wane but stick him up front with orders to stay in and around the box and I reckon he could have been effective, especially with the service he would have got from Richarlison, Walcott and the Brazilian magician.

 

[GwladysPhil]

I would have kept him, still got a cracking shot and finish on him.

 

[Parker]

Not a chance, he would be on the halfway blowing out of his arse as we counter attack in the 70th minute with Richarlison and Walcott leading the charge if he played striker.

And he's not good enough to play midfield. His move to America was the best move for both parties.

We also couldn't get rid of Tosun because he had been here 6 months and looked a lot better than Rooney in that time.

 

[ijjysmith]

No. Obviously.

It’s exactly the same question, and answer to, ‘Would you like Everton to sign Bradley Wright-Phillips?’

Have a word.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Absolutely not. His age, ridiculous wages and declining ability have no place at Everton. Combine that with how he got a sad on if he didn’t play and you have the reason we jettisoned him off.

The MLS is absolutely toilet too, no wonder he’s scoring.

 

[Neiler]

Nope was worth bringing him back just to bin him off.

Hopefully he feels a bit of what we all felt when he binned us off.

If you stay around long enough everything comes full circle.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He still scores goals something our strikers don't do very often. Perhaps January may shed some light on a goal scorer until that time we can only hope our wingers and #10 do the job.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Wouldn’t get in

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

He may have been an option from the bench and there will be games where his experience and leadership would have been handy but he just didn't have it in him to start week in week out at this level any more. Fair play to the guy it's great to see him doing well in the States but it's the right level for him at this point in his career.

 

[Nymzee]

No. Don't let the MLS fool you.

 

[Zezti]

Is it even MLS? I thought he was in some small regional league or something

 

[dublinbluenose]

Well he's made a .massive difference to a side that was struggling down the wrong end of the MLS and made them a mid table side on probably a bigger wage than he was in here and a percentage of shirt sales as well. So no.

 

[MikeH72]

Why can’t we ever just forget about the past and move on?

 

[Ring master]

For me,its a no,i was one of the ones that wanted him to come back and still think we made the right choice of signing him and getting rid of him,him doing well in the usa will of course have some saying did we get rid of him to early and he could have had 1 more year etc,or he could play in the prem league for another team,which off course he could if he wanted to,but he said he didnt and wouldnt play for no one other than man utd or Everton,good luck to him though i have never been a hater of him, while so many were.
