Now we can move forward. I still don't know what Everton think they are going to get out of him.
Wayne Rooney rejoins Everton | United save £30M by giving him £10M pay-off
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
Some people have become so embittered by the last few seasons that they just can't bring themselves to acknowledge the scale of his achievements in a red shirt. He's carried the can for every shitty manager, signing and performance since Fergie retired.
Not a legend? Our record goal scorer?! Get a fecking grip of yourselves. You're like children.

Good luck to him and thanks for the 13 years of service, still sad to see him go one of my favorite United players and many fond memories of him. Fair play to him aswell for staying in the premier league to try to prove his worth could of easily gone to China or MLS to get a big pay check.
What this bloke said.
Best of luck to him. Hopefully they can get a few years out of him
Thanks Wayne and feck you Moyes
Hope he has a good season and leads out the England team in Russia.
Wow, I thought this thread was just a joke.
The world has changed.

On your Rashford point - you've used the key word yourself. Potential. If anyone's jumping to conclusions it's you.
On the Rooney point, sure his past 3 seasons have stained his legacy somewhat, but there's a reason why he was getting that massive contract everyone loves to bash him for.
Just a number in the team? Have a word with yourself.
We have seen the white pele.
What a player at his peak.
What a player at his peak.
Rooney was an integral part of a team that got to 3 Champions League Finals in 4 years. We were best or 2nd best team in Europe (so essentially the World) during that time. That's slightly different to Fletcher who was a good squad player and also unfortunately suffered loads of injuries over the same period.
The greatest manager of all time thought he was pretty bloody special and so do I.
Every time I see Moyes' nameI wonder if he's moving house? He currently lives in Prestbury, in which I can say is a very impressive plot of land and vast amounts of living space.
He's been there for about 10 years I think and all his kids have been brought up there etc.
His daily commute to training ground etc would only be 45 mins each way.
God, I'm a sad fecker aren't I.

Because I like to quote myself.
---------------- Rooney
------Ronaldo ---------- Messi --------
------------ Xavi ------------------
----------------------- Verratti ----------
------------ Makélélé ---------------
---- Lahm ------------------------ Dani Alvès
--------- Ferdinand --- Vidic -----------
------------------ Buffon
---------------------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CLEVER TEAM ----------------------------------------
Motto: Because Rooney deserves to be happy
Inspiration: SAF & Guardiola
Philosophy: a back four with two relatively deep central midfield players with the King of the Pass
Offensive strategy: a fluid front three
---> Ronaldo, Rooney and Messi were all highly versatile, happy to play either on the wing or through the middle
---> The three had a wonderful understanding in and around the penalty area, meaning I could effectively hand out three ‘free roles’ and sit back and witness the results
---> Rooney and cr7 understood their defensive responsibilities.
Rooney version: 2006-09
Midfield: 100% collective players to set the tempo of the game
Credentials:
Manchester United's 4-5-1 away at Roma in the quarter-final, which resulted in a 0-2 victory for United.
Manchester United's 4-4-2ish shape in the Champions League final, where they defeated Chelsea on penalties
Rooney 2009/10: 34 goals in 44 games + 6 assists
Rooney in the football forum 
Club ambassador really? That would be wierd.
I'm very conflicted when it comes to discussing Rooney, loved him for the first 8 years here and gradually disliked him more and more. I respect his record for us but also find myself a little befuddled by how highly some rate him.
Gone 4 years too late in my opinion but thats more the clubs fault than his.
I'm not sure even you know what you're on about
No where near good enough for Everton...God knows what they are thinking.
Great player (until about 4 years ago) but always felt traditional coaching and taming his temper killed his ability

Any Everton fan here or somebody else who dare to judge what kind of status Wayne Rooney will have in the club? Two years at the club + coming back as a rotten apple. Hero or parasite?
This might be among the most ridiculous posts I have seen in the Caf. You think he was not as great as Vidic or Rio, (would agree with you on Scholes and Ronaldo), ? Makes me wonder if you have only been watching football for the last 3 years. Fletcher was a good, solid dependable and loyal player. Not a great, but he contributed to the trophies we won in his time here, but without him, we would have likely won most of those anyway. Without Rooney it is likely as not that we would have won far fewer trophies. It is too early to make a judgement on Rashford one way or the other, but heep in mind that at 20 Harry Kane had only scored around 10 goals for Spurs. Lets wait and see what his record looks like next May before we write him off as overrated.
Good luck legend, wish you all the best and thank you for all the memories.
Great player.
Great player.
He could and should have been better in the last seasons.
However, he can be proud of his career in Manchester on the whole.
Some have short memories and will always prefer to moan and say bad things.
Of course, he has to be considered as a United Legend even if he never was in a position to apply for a Ballon d'Or.
Sad that his last game at OT wasn't a tribute for his contribution but it is just delayed!

Huge figure in the history of the club, will hopefully be remembered as the great player he was, wish him all the best. Besides against us of course.
I also believe Rooney will get something like Ronnie when he will return at OT with Everton.
Below the return of Ronaldinho at the Nou Camp following his move for Milan.
Rooney truly deserves to have something like that.

Would suspect he would celebrate a goal against us if it was at Goodison, but not at OT. I really think he would not do that.
The family name of Wayne is Rooney, not Adebayor!
Utd legend and a breath of fresh air to see such loyalty in the game. He would have had a heap of offers guaranteed but he has gone back to his boyhood club help them fight for success. Really refreshing to see.
And not nice to see people saying things like good riddance. He deserves more respect for what he has done.

Wasn't that Ronaldinho return in a friendly? No chance Rooney gets anything like that in a competitive game against us. He'll get a round of applause then the sarcastic boos.
Hmmmm you could be right, more likely he went back to his boyhood club because his Mrs isn't prepared to move too far from merseyside, not that there is anything wrong with that, it's nice to see someone putting their family first rather than uprooting them all for the sake of a bigger salary
That post is a dumpster fire. Don't bother to reply, I've already ignored you.
EDIT: Not you @Sparky_Hughes the other I tried to reply to must've been, well, ya know...

Indeed, a friendly in August 2010.
I was frustrated with him for the last couple season but I miss him already. Thanks Wayne, a legend of our club.
Thanks for everything and best of luck
no worries chapMeanwhile it's extremely mature to freak out over differing viewpoints/opinions. There's only one truth and you have it, am I right
Cheers. Not sure what happened with that quote but I can guess.
Quite a sad moment to see him go but the time is right. One of the greatest United and England players ever and hopefully he can rediscover some form at Everton and go out on a high. I'm looking forward to the reaction he will get coming back to OT, I think it will eclipse what Beckham or Ronaldo got.
It needs to be understood how much of a global attraction it is for fans to see legends and former players of their clubs back in their colours. But it seems like you do not consider him a legend, so I understand your perspective, but respectfully disagree.
