Hi ed002 what do you think of the Rooney signing and what will he bring to Everton on the field and off it. The whole country seem to be spilt saying crap on the pitch but will get Everton more publicity off it thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Personally I think it a mistake and a costly mistake. Everton need to be looking to the next Wayne Rooney and not the one discared by Manchester United. Perhaps this has been done to keep the fans happy? Certainly off field he could shake a few hands - as long as he keeps the talking to a minimum. I am not so sure that he would bring widespread publicity for the club - go buy a Chinese international if you want to do that.}

I hope you're wrong Ed!

If it's been done to keeps fans happy, it's a bit of a risk as it seems the fans are split on having him back. I also doubt that he's been signed to raise the profile of the club, he's hardly club ambassador material!

Dunno ed. He will probably play cup games amd may even chip in with 10 goals. As long as he doesn't expect to play every game and sulks, it could be ok.
I think I just hope it works out but I completely understand the trepidation of fans. Could be a complete disaster but as you always say, ed, we should not worry about the cost because it's not coming out of our pockets but Mr moshiri's.

I'm with you on that ED. The other signings we've made are the ones I'm excited about and with talk of Sig coming this week we should have a damn good team next year.

{Ed002's Note - I think it will be good side John - not so sure I would go way overboard and say "damn" good though. "Half decent" perhaps, or perhaps a team that "vibrates like a fish in the waters of the Manneken Pis".}

He may not be the player he was but he will sweat blood for your team lads. I reckon between him and Giroud if you sign Roms goals won't be missed much.

I agree with ed but I am sno expert and Koeman and Walsh haven't done much wrong as of yet so I have no reason to doubt them. And I agree we should be looking at the Next Rooney/ lukaku maybe dembele.

Ed, I am think your spot on. but definite split between fans. I'd say half the lads I go game with are for and the half (including me) are against. but, I'm happy with what club have done with other transfers so this is one that the likes of me will just have to accept. he may surprise us neigh sayers.

I'll take that Ed after seeing our team look dead in the water before Koeman's arrival!
