Mikey1874 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Its okay A decent career and possibly under rated Might a waste of money by Everton but maybe a second wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashauskis9 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Possibly one of the greatest free signings ever. The guy still has it, he'll play another 5/6 years at the top level so Everton have scored big time here. Jose really is a clueless twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think he'll do more harm than good. Everton play the game on the counter at pace. Rooney will slow the whole thing down. Rooney has been poor for a few seasons now and should have been emptied from United ages ago. He's spent the last 3-4 seasons either benched or playing weird positions because nobody could figure out what to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Could go either way. Its his childhood club so hopefully he still has the hunger and drive to achieve something before he's too old. If he doesn't it won't end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a winner and will be a great signing for Everton, as a club they are way behind Man Utd and he will help them getting closer to the top 4.

Placid Casual Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 A great career he's had for sure, but physically on the wane now (no pun intended!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Walsh Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The best English footballer since the Premier League began. No doubt about it. An unbelievable career. He's been at the top for around 15 years now, and given his all action playing style it shouldn't come as a shock to see his powers dwindling. A great move for Rooney, not so much for Everton who I believe sanctioned this transfer with their heart, and not head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashauskis9 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He's not going to Hearts He's gone to Everton presumably to play 10/12 games at most He'll be in the starting 11 most weeks and will most probably take over the captaincy from Jagielka who I reckon will find himself behind Funes Mori and Williams in the pecking order. I genuinely can't believe folk are writing him off because of lack of game time. I would actually have doubted him more if he had played a bigger part in the Old Trafford circus last season.

Bauld Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Probably!? Of course it's probably. It's football. He might turn up and head straight for the treatment table. Brown might break both his legs in the league opener, earning a deserved yellow card. You can say he would come up here and piss the league. That's what Celtic fans said Roy Keane would do.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Great player but needs whipped into shape. If they can get him fit and keep him fit he could still bang in 15-20 a season and create a lot more. Needs someone to make runs off him though because I'd imagine he'll play off the main striker.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He is finished IMO Too many fags. It's why mourinho never plays him. He is blowing within 5 mins of getting on the pitch. From Everton perspective, it's a good free transfer but I don't see Rooney setting the heather alight. Happy to be proved wrong as he was a great player to watch in his peak years 10 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashauskis9 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Remember when we signed a rusty Rudi at age 31. He was rank rotten wasn't he, we should have game him a wide berth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Casual Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Rooney has never looked after himself the way Ronaldo has done (few players do, to be fair). Combine that with the amount of game time over the years, I can't see him playing at the top level in 2/3 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think it's a brilliant signing for Everton. They've bought a lot of young quick attacking players. Rooney will be the focal point of their attack I reckon, back to playing him as a number 9 he'll get a lot of goals. Getting rid of the lakaku for 75 mil is great business. Mourhinho is just a spender who I think is getting found out season on season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Striker Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If this was an 'Eggs in one basket' type of signing then perhaps it would be more of a gamble - but it's not. Everton are splashing the cash and are strengthening the squad with some (at least on paper) astute signings. However, the squad has little experience when it comes to winning titles and cups, so having someone like Rooney back will help bring a winners mentality into the dressing room. A change will do him good and Everton will benefit from it IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mir00005 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Rooney to be top goalscorer in EPL is 100/1 on SkyBet. He will take every penalty and free kick for them. Free money, if he can stay fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The key to this will be how much motivation Wayne has to get in shape because he has been fat for some time. Embarrassingly out of shape in the modern era prem league. So if he gets his fitness up then obviously he has the talent to do it but this is the main question mark & there are significant doubts he actually has the appetite now to get physically fit enough.

Lovecraft Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Genetics and lifestyle have caught up on him. 10 games max this season, 5 the year after. His style was explosive, that's what made him special. He has now lost this, and as other people have said, Man U have struggled to find a position for him.
