Sell Wayne Rooney at Your Peril, Bill

It seems every media outlet, has The Duke already sold to Man Utd or Chelsea for £30m - £50m, depending on who you believe. All around Europe, Rooney has made the headlines on TV, Radio, web sites and papers.

As Evertonians, we new this would happen. We see what he can do every week. It only needed a goal or two to light up Europe. He has also highlighted Everton Football Club. The HEADLINES say: "Everton's Wayne Rooney......Wayne Rooney of Everton." A bigger advert for the club, you couldn't pay for. Now is the time to let this work in our favour. Kenwright, Birch & Moyes need to seize the moment and get out there and say to the players they are after. "Wouldn't you like to play for Everton with Wayne Rooney?"

Don't be kidded by the lure of £30m. Football is all about having good players in your team. That's why Arsenal win things every year. They have the best players. What good would it do to sell our best player? Some say with £30m we could buy some players. Most of the £30m will go to pay off the debt, leaving Moyesy a few quid to buy some average players.

Leeds Utd sold Rio Ferdinand and other players for big money and look where they are now.

Moyesy says: “It’s a good feeling that he plays for Everton and he’s part of the football club - hopefully, it will remain that way for a long time to come,” Here at bluekipper.com we go along with that. Sell Wayne Rooney at Your Peril, Bill. (19/06/04)
