DC United “close” to finalising Rooney deal

It's the right thing to do

Good luck lad, but if the Yanks on here are only half right, you'll need to take a new set of lungs with you.

Good luck Wayne.

Faded badly over the second half of the campaign, though Sam's dino-tactics certainly didn't help matters. Part of me would be sorry to see him go, though ultimately I think the attempts to accommodate him too often came at the expense of the team.

No matter what you think of Rooney or whether it’s a good move or not it’s still a valid point isn’t it?

A sad reflection on the team as a whole ( yes the team that have failed under how many managers now?) that our top scorer a 32 year old midfielder with 10 goals and hasn’t scored since December 18th.

Another sadder reflection is Everton never won a single game this season without Rooney in the side.

All a measure in my opinion of just how shite our current squad is but continue to hide behind whoever is in charge taking the flack.

This is the mad, mad world of Everton 2018.

However, it’s either him or Sigurdsson for me and I think everyone would agree Sigurdsson is the better of the two and so Rooney is just on the bench.

Therefore, can we really keep him on the bench when he’s on £150,000 a week, and we could even get £10m for him.

He was signed as a striker anyway, and he couldn't play in that position cos of the booze and fags, so let's save on his wages and get a younger player in.

It’s been a toxic vile season and the club starting with the board must start fresh ASAP.

Good luck Wayne if your going stateside but I think it will be interesting to see what happens.

I think he should go but I wish he had had the benefit of a season with a decent manager who could understand where he should be playing and use him accordingly.

Maybe its all too late but how I wish Koeman had a brain but my only wish for Allardyce is to follow Rooney out of the door.

Sold too early, brought back too late. I would keep him around for another season personally if only for his experience and mentoring of our younger lads.

When was the last time we sold our top scorer two years in a row?

Manager's may be blamed for not fitting him in different positions but we are not good enough to carry players. We have had moments of genius from him and yes he is no legend at our club. It will always be what could have been? He left for reasons he and the club know. I wish him well but we must move on.

It's a great pity we didn't get him a few years before when the writing was on the wall at Manure but anyway he didn't do too badly especially early in the season and it is obvious that he now has limitations and will do well in the MSL for a season or two.

The first headlines he created he when back at the club was getting caught with a slapper while his wife was pregnant!

Should never have let him back!

Wayne got used to first cabin, and now he's going to be flying sub-economy. Hard to see him being contented for long.

He's the one true top class player with proven ability and winning mentality. He's not at that level now but no one is at our club. I'd like him to stay for another season foremost because he's one of our best players but also attracts other talented players and media coverage that we need.

I can only think of 2 players that have played better and more consistent than him, Pickford and Gana, with Jags not far behind.

There's no point in getting rid until we bring in better no matter what age. If there good enough they deserve to play.

A good coach, manager, tactician would get the best out of him. We aren't good enough at keeping the ball in advanced positions. Forwards like Rooney want to be involved. He's not sulking and standing still waiting for a ball, he'll come deep and create to be involved.

He and Walcott could be the two central forwards instead of wasting their talent playing out wide and too deep, especially against the teams that keep a high line.

Walcott has the pace in his legs, Rooney the pace in his football brain. Work on their partnership.
