Only to the extent that he is under contract so maybe unlikely that they will give him away for free / pay his wages.

It depends what the club want to get from signing Rooney.
If they want press/media attention and that big name signing that puts your name on front and back pages, Rooney would do that and if the club scripted it correctly they could play out the whole "prodigal son returns home" BS like Newcastle did with Shearer. People love that stuff. Signing Rooney would do more for Everton's PR globally in a few days than singing any other player that is realistically available to us. off the pitch that's a very good thing...... BUT If the club bring him back for footballing reasons, sadly it would be a year too late. To catch the 6 teams above us we need players who will improve the SQUAD and whilst I've always been a yes to him coming back - unless it improves us on the pitch, where it matters then it's pointless.
Maybe playing for the team he grew up supporting would get the best out of him again (assuming he actually gives 2 monkeys about us) - there is also a W/C around the corner to keep him motivated but for the money he'd demand, no sell on value it would be a risk

Still better than Howard (last 2 1/2 years), Paul Gerrard, Steve Simonsen, etc.

Didnt Rooney say Everton are the only other club he would play for in England?

A reason I'm hearing as to why we should sign him is as a 'statement of intent'. Surely it's an even bigger statement of intent to turn our noses up at Rooney, thereby telling the world that he's not good enough to get into our first team, which quite frankly I don't think he is.

£3.6m wages?? He earns £15m per year mate.

If we have the opportunity to sign him and we don't I bet it will be twisted to say it's because we can't afford it, (which may be true) yet more proof we are not with the big boys yet.
Absolutely or twist it so it's like he turned us down.

My mistake. Pay his wages and a small loan fee.

Only a statement if we say no and get someone bigger. Definitely not better than lukaku at the moment but if Rom leaves i'd take him at a reasonable price/wages

You think he's still worth that much?

Potentially ye. We should have masses of leeway in regards wages now.

I'd take him for a decent price (15m) but knowing Jose ... he's want the 30m back and a % sell on fee and buy back Clause
