Would you take Wayne Rooney back?

[johnjoeefc]

I wouldn't

 

[Abraders]

Never. Shouldn't have come back anyway.

Never. Shouldn't have come back anyway.

Very true answer. Was a disgrace we brought him back. No room for sentimental expensive experiments in football. Thankfully everybody realised it had been a disaster and he was off quicker than most of us had expected.

The reaction he got from some on here was embarrassing. It was as if they were saying, “we are small time and understand fully why he ditched us for another club aged 18 having given just two years for us, we’re now delighted he’s given us the great privilege of watching him see out his twilight of his career with us after more than a decade away giving his best years to the club he left us for”.

“I know he slid across the Goodison Park turf in his red jersey as he scored against us again, I know he banged in over 250 goals to become United's all time record goalscorer while we had to watch Beattie, Bent, Beckford, Johnson and co leading the line for us upfront, matters not, welcome home Wayne”

It shows how far the standards have fallen at the club that there were some (many?) who rolled out the red carpet for him. He gave almost zero service to the club (he’d scored 17 goals in 77 games, his price tag came from his Euro 2004 displays for England), and him coming back was an insult. As a chubby has been he added a grand total of 11 goals on his return.

Oh but ‘he’s an Evertonian who wears Everton pyjamas’. Who he supports means diddly. He gave his best football to another club after coming through the youth system here and jumping ship first chance he got. Tony Cottee gave his best years to the club, hit 82 goals (almost three times the amount the great Evertonian managed).

To do what?

I'd take Coleen from the back.

Terrible thing to say about our next manager's wife. (I presume it's a done deal, otherwise what is the point of this thread?)

I'd bring her in to manage our social media.

Can't be having Vardys missus knowing what our line up would be prior to every game mate
