Wayne Rooney - The worst thing to happen to Everton in the Premier League Era

[RFUS]

No ta, I'll just be me. All I can expect from anyone else.

Suits yourself mate.

Yes, well done. Maybe back to the start of the thread to reveal the other 90%.

You're going to have to convince me that an alternate world with no Rooney would mean we'd be drastically better off.

As far as as I can tell, we'd just be the same only without 17 goals and £28 million. And our fans would be less optimistic about our youth talent. As alternate realities go it's not exactly 'what if there was no hitler'.

Suits yourself mate.

I see what you did there. Did you mean that?

Think your programming has broke mate. Say something generic about loving our forum and having fine fine products to offer.

Without Rooney we'd have probably been relegated in either 2003-04 or the next few seasons. And the four years of european football would never have happened.

Thank you. Utter perfection. Beautiful. xcxc

Still not really getting it mate. Are you saying you think it's a myth that he's a once in a generation player? Your response isn't really very helpful.

Before Wayne the concern was the players on our books would be pinched because they weren't true blues. Ferguson had been offed, Speed forced out, Kancho, it is a situation that extends back beyond the formation of the PL. What Rooney did was bring a 'Hail Mary' to a support needful of such. Since then every kid has been the next saviour, Kissock, Vidarsson, Rodwell, Baxter, the expectation - the possibility of a fast sale, a quick buck, a few quid for transfers. And then what, the criticism for selling the family silver.

"Better to have loved and lost"

Maybe not.

How were Ferguson and Speed not 'true blues' ?

Speed was a lifelong Evertonian....and Ferguson has an Everton tattoo.....

And you have extensive corroborated evidence to not only prove that but to also take to the BU, KEIOC and of course HMCS to bring a case.

:Sick of laughing:

Worst things to happen to Everton in the Pl era:

Johnson. Kenwright. Paul Scharner. Brett Angell. Distin's back pass. Efan Ekoku. Operation Kirkby. Istanbul. The sky money, leading to foriegn investment killing any even playing field. Mike Walker. Walter Smith. Moyes blowing the Lescott money on Bily. The calender order botch job that meant our years start in january. Kroldrup. Villarreal. Clattenburg. Penalties against Fiorentina. Malouda vs Hibbert. Reading at home.

Clearly there are never once in a generation players as other sides wouldnt fill there ranks with similar. Is this Brain Surgery???

Well no one will ever now know the Speed thing, but if Gerrard or CARRAGHER had an Everton tattoo.... ?

This is clearly a bot, mods. You can tell by the sentence structure that it's posts are just fragments copied and pasted from other boards. Ban it before it befriends our younger members and starts selling penis extension pills to them.
