2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[toffeejack]

To me, he's come back built a few bridges but he won't be missed.

Thought you were on about Charlton then haha

Where is our "legend"?

Belfast? The USA? North West England?

Has he left us to be a legend elsewhere? Frankly it feels like the deal is replicating Wayne's form this season. Decent start, a few flashes where something looks like it might happen and then a gravy addled bloater struggling to keep up with the pace of the game.

Is this the cause of his rift with Allardyce? Not enough gravy to go round?

Very good questions.

I suspect the answer is yes to the 2nd but not sure about the first

It's not drugs relegated so he shouldn't have a problem

See ya' then Boss Hogg.

He’s rich, convictions don’t matter when you’ve got money.

He got the same punishment that any first time offender who did what he did would.

If he'd have hit somebody (God forbid) or crashed, then it'd be different.

Football Legend -yes
Everton legend - no.

Exactly. Do wish he could accept a role as an impact sub.

Not gonna lie, it still feels a bit surreal he is back, on a free. (ish).

Early signs are encouraging, think thats fair, but the coverage him coming back has generated has been quite amazing.

Quietly optimistic that he will ram some of the crap that comes his way, back down some folks throats.

Wayne Rooney is very much past his best. Everton have to balance the books a bit, reduce the squad and Wayne is highly paid so that is an issue.
He has not got the pace for ninety minutes 'in the thick of it' any more.
He is also beyond doubt the most talented individual to emerge from the UK in my lifetime, and I am 58. If he was a bit more of a selfish pratt like Ronaldo he would be recognised as one of the best ever in the world. Rooney's skills are beyond belief but he has always been a team player. My Man U friends used to tell me that Ronaldo got the press, Rooney ran the game. If he could accept being an impact sub once the game has matured a bit and opened up then I would be pleased if he stayed. He has more skill in his little toe than most players ever to set foot in this country, but he can't be a starter in the Premier League any more.

Isn't it ironic that when we wanted him to stay he fcked us off ( rightly so in hindsight from his point of view ) and now he wants to stay were telling him to f off ( hopefully anyway )

 

[4737carlin]

I still want him to stay

 

[Death]

Rooney if you got to go away,
Don't think I could take the pain,
Won't you stay another season?

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Get out and don't come back no more
Get out and don't come back no more
Get out , don't come back
Get out, don't come back
Get out and don't come back no more

 

[billyblue80]

Be boss to have those wages off the books

 

[BiggyRat]

If the pace is beyond Rooney, then perhaps the game needs to slow down for him...

It’s over.
