Rooney is hardly zimmer frame material yet.
We will hopefully be playing a lot of football next season in Europe and domestically.
The experience that a player like Rooney will bring to a young inexperienced squad will be invaluable. I would also add that a move to any club but in particular to Everton would invigorate his career
Gareth Barry has been given a contract extension by RK and is very clearly a squad player at this stage and will not play every week. Rooney would also bring a lot to the younger players.
I don't want it to sound as if I think we should sign Rooney at all costs.. I don't, but I certainly can see why people would say that we should.
Ultimately I think the finances may be a stumbling block.
Today, in my opinion was a flier to the Everton fans to see how such a move would go down.
