JakeOTIB Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just re-signed for Everton. Fair enough, seems right for all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Gives him a better chance of getting to the world cup. He should've been in the most recent squad instead of Defoe if you were going off of form. I hope we can see the Rooney of old come back for a season or two, for football's sake.

JakeOTIB Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Depends where he plays to be honest. I'm not sure if he's Lukaku's replacement and if he is, that's not really a good replacement... Heard they're in for Giroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Barkley supposedly available (not signed a new contract with a year left on his current deal), he could easily play that #10 role or as the 2nd striker. They have supposedly got him for free with Man Utd paying half of his wages so that'll still leave Everton paying about £150k p/w & whatever his signing on fee was (which I wouldn't imagine was peanuts). Everton have also signed the Spanish U21 forward Ramirez & a few younger midfielders, so they could be vastly improved as a team compared to the last few seasons. I wouldn't right Rooney off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think Everton are more capable of accommodating him in their team, in a central midfield / number 10 role. I think this could be a good signing for Everton. They've done some good transfer business, albeit spending a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Typical bristish sports fans ... Enjoy building a player up just so they can knock him on the way down 10 years later. Simple fact is Wayne Rooney as a free transfer is a good signing. Two year deal is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 My issue with regards Rooney is the moving him about so much (in regards to playing position), he's England's & Man Utd's record goal scorer so what makes anyone think he's suddenly become a midfielder? He clearly knows how to score goals & in the last couple of seasons Man Utd have failed to play him in his natural position, now that maybe down to the managers chosen formation & Rooney not being the best available option for that chosen formation (in the managers view). But up top with someone alongside him, I believe he could still do a job, he is still only 31 years-old, so should have a couple of seasons left in him.

Agree, I expect him to score 20 plus goals this season. Everton are building a decent team for next season, expect them to still sign a centre forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 On a free, it's an absolute no brainer for me. From a business & profile point of view it will be brilliant. Most importantly you are getting a good footballer, his best days are gone, but still a good footballer. You are also going to get a born winner & someone with a great attitude. You only have to look at how he handled himself last season, when not playing & getting dropped from England squads because of it. Lesser profile players would of kicked up a right stink in the same situation. Yet he just towed the line & played when asked. IMO he still has a couple years left at the top, so a 2 year deal is perfect for both parties. If played up top & regular, I would think he will still get 15 - 20 goals this season.

poland_exile Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 the stats and medal cabinet show he's had a fantastic career, but I'll always be left thinking he didn't quite fulfill his potential to become one of the best players on the planet. Seems a pretty good signing for Everton, but I was under the impression the fans think of him as a traitorous turncoat?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Busy Summer so far for Everton. Considering all these big signings and their recent good form under Koeman, could they trouble top 6 next season? Top 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
