Romey 1878 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 4 Year deal at Chelsea then back to us? I'd rather not. He'll be completely gone in 4 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 According to ITV news, an hour ago, Utd's Chief Executive has flown home from their pre-season tour (didn't realise he played as well!) to deal with "urgent transfer business". Rooney also hasn't progressed any in the smart stakes since he ditched the ageing prostitutes for 'high class' escorts as he's been quoted (BBC) as saying he could probably 'do' Utd for constructive dismissal for the way they've treated him recently.

Wouldn't mind seeing him in a shirt with our new badge on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev627 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I know he never will but if he did sign back up as a Toffee how would he be received by the fans running out of the tunnel at the start of any match he went on to play for us?

He would need to do it soon, as it would be a bit of an insult to spend your best days playing against then expect a job when you're used up.

If he came back now or at the end of his career I think the reaction to him would be the same from most fans in that they would think he owed us so more would be expected from him than he had left to give. He's best staying away for his own and the club's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's best staying away for his own and the club's sake. The best thing for the club's sake would be for him to sign for us now. Someone could make a Youtube vid with that Coming Home song from Diddy and Skylar Grey and all would be forgotten as he fires us into the Champions League. Too bad we can't afford neither transfer fee nor wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Rooney is a real arsehole to be honest. Don't like the bloke full stop. When he runs out next season not only will the Goodison crowd boo him, but I can see him now getting the same treatment by the Man U fans. This person has had the opportunity to be a real Legend at two clubs and become part of that club footballing folklore, but instead he is going to be regarded as a real knobhead. Had the footballing world at your feet at 17 years old, and going the right way to be remembered for all the wrong reasons, by all the fans that once cheered his name. Wayne Rooney you are a real class act! I personally wouldn't want him to wear an Everton shirt again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Not the brightest of lads, and clearly hasn't been well advised in protecting his image, only in making loads of money for himself and his hangers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Maybe if he is to come back he needs to go via Wigan to be truly accepted marcopaulo and Vranny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I wouldn't want Rooney back, and more to the point, he won't ever be back at Everton you truly feel. Has been just about redundant at international level for the best part of a decade, and it's not a name that defenders really fear any longer. Still a certain degree of animosity towards the kid from some of our supporters after he left in 2004 and for some, it may never heal. If the plastics want him so bad, then they can have him ,I feel inclined on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Clearly has influential people pulling strings for him. It's either summer 2016 or never for me The only reason he would stay at United is money, is there anything he needs to achieve there??? He will likely break charltons record this year then it's just the fa cup I think. I don't want to see another hasbeen join the likes of gazza, Mark hughes, ginola, eto, who frustrate the fans by reminding them how cruel father time is. So it's summer 2016 or nothing. I actually think he's got 2 years of decent footy, 3 at a push. By 33 he will be spent - mentally and physically. Only a new challenge will get him going, he's got about £50m+ behind him. Time to put a regrettable episode behind him. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 The problem with him is that when he hasnt played football he loses fitness fast - piles on weight. He does need rest but it can work against him. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 He'll go to the states, I think all high profile players (and lower) will go there once they are getting on a bit because they'll still get paid a shed load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 does anyone recall how good it felt having him at our club? I remember thinking "we have got the best player in the world at under 20" - it was a feeling of having a diego maradona... every time he got the ball you just sensed something was going to happen. We wanted to have this assurance off him like "I will not leave". There was only one game where I felt a bit "hmmmm not sure whether he is all he is cracked up to be" - that was against Charlton in the league cup I think and Scott Parker ran the show - other than that he was just brilliant to watch. When he went to United and scored the hat trick I felt sick, they were celebrating him and I remember thinking "you dont even know what you have got" Since then aside from his first couple of years at united I have found him very "sensible" football wise, He hasn't got that rawness that I loved - at the start he would dribble past two players and bang a shot in, suddenly he is doing give and gos and placing his shots, all very effective but very ordinary and logical. If he had something to offer I would have him back. Romey 1878 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Keep him off free kicks if he does come back. Would like him here though, could see his youth as RM would encourage him to trust his instincts rather than statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was head and shoulders above everybody on the pitch. I thought then he was going to be a world beater. When he played for us and went with England I remember he turned Lillian thurham inside out and the world stood up. He went to United and I just don't think he turned out the player I thought he would be. I'd love him to come back if it was this summer but it won't and it never will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 He became a team player that's all. Still had an absolutely fantastic career no matter which way you look at it. When he was at us he was just hungry for goals and he was fantastic. Chach and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 how will he negate his 250k a week salary? how will united let him go? love him back but i just don't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 how will he negate his 250k a week salary? how will united let him go? love him back but i just don't see it happening. He doesn't need another pay cheque ever to keep him in luxury for the rest of his life; he's been winning the lottery every month for the last decade so he could survive quite happily without the salary. United would let him go purely on a business level, he's contracted 'til 2019 but he's already not contributing in line with his cost to them, and he's certainly not going to be getting any better-though he'll still have his moments. Not saying it will happen but I do think it's a possibility, he'd be a useful man to have on the bench . Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
