Wayne Rooney At Everton?
Plenty has gone under the bridge since the Wayne Rooney left Everton and incredibly it's been ten years since he scored that goal for us against Arsenal. Remember "remember the name". David Moyes knew he was something special and maybe, just maybe, one day he could return.
Moyesy said: "We knew what we had at the club. I got told about him as soon as I came in the door.
"He was everything we hoped. He was a man when he was very young. He had the ability and the talent but also a desire to play football.
"Wayne could have been a goalie, he could have been a right-back, a centre-half, he could play any position because it was his love for football which I think was one of the biggest factors.
"He didn't need coaching because when he came in he could play with good players, he adapted to what he had to do.
"I think you come across these players very rarely. England have had some great players over the years but I don't think you get batches and batches of them, and Wayne is one of them."
"All he wanted to do was get the ball. There was none of this warming up and making sure you're all stretched, not with Wayne, it was a case of, 'I'm on the street and I'm going to go and kick the ball and do what I do'.
"It was a throwback to the way I felt I was brought up. Wayne was a street player and he showed that when he came out onto the training ground as a professional.
"He was a joy to have around - he was hard work at times but he was a great player."
"I think he has gone on to be the player we hoped he would be. He has been an exceptional player, at the very top, for 10 years. He has won a European Cup and titles and other cups. It's not his fault England aren't doing as well as people would like. Generally England haven't done that well for a long time.
"It has been interesting watching him develop. A lot of people said David Moyes couldn't control or handle Wayne and he'd be better going off to Sir Alex at Manchester United, but I think Sir Alex has had his problems with him as well at times."
"I would definitely welcome Wayne returning here. It's in his blood,"
"But it's probably more likely to be later on in his career. I think it might be something that he'd even welcome."
Would you welcome Wayne Rooney back at Everton?

I'd have Satan, Pol Pot and Attila The Hun if they
improved the team! I'd draw the line at Suarez and El Hadji Diouf though, obvs.
Seriously tho, Rooney's not an horrible player, and although he'll get slower as he gets older (not that he's Eusain Bolt now, but you know what I mean), he's got good vision on the field, and always will. I'd have him back so long as he doesn't come playin the diva. He loves the Blues an always will.
37
I'd have him back on a free transfer in the next 2-3 years and then I'd sell him on again for a decent fee and buy some younger, quality players.
36
Don't want him back. We have moved on as a club since he has gone and he will spoil the team spirit with his petulance and ego.
I don't even think he is a "world class" player, just a decent premier league player. What has he done for England in major tournaments since he left us? is he really on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi? No he isn't.
35
Never ever.....don't need the mercenary - let him rot at The Theatre Of Dweebs............we have moved on and have no need for someone who kisses the badge of the scum in front of us on our own ground - what was it? Once a Blue????? Joke!
34
True that Daz!(com#32) He celebrated his goal against us like a proper Redshite! And he would have many times more had he scored them! Any die hard Bluenose Roo fan has to ask themselves this! Would you have done the same against your beloved Evrton?.....Didn't think so!
33
Tony Ando yes we have all done things we regret but what he has done is unforgiveable he left like a rat up a drainpipe the first chance he had Evertoian my arse who gives a shit about him winning medals for the mancs he should off been winning them with us I wont watch England if that horrible toe rag is playing
32
i like many was one who bought merchandise with roo's name on for my son to go back school with,(pencilcase,rubber,ruler etc) the look on his 7yr old face when i told him roo wont be playing for us was something else,we apparently offererd rooney £50k/wk to stay, the same he was on at old trafford at the time,n he still shunned us,his love for this gr8 club deminished when he went, and then celebrated his goal the way he did by kissing that badge,i would never want to see him back in a royal blue shirt even at the age of 34/35 which is what he would be,my son however now realises that players come and go,and he like many have had an abundance of idol's since,(BIG DUNC,TIMMY,GRAV,ARTETA etc,) its such a shame roo cant be put in that bracket.we're aving a good season so far so me,my son and daughter will be shouting for them from the park end every wk,not praying that the day will soon come when rooney returns.he had his chance
31
his transfer money dragged us out of the shit, so yes, he was a boy then, we've all done something stupid, but remember he was on a contract that man u paid for us to break, we let him go, we finished 4th the following year.
30
People who say they would not have him back are idiots, he was a young lad when he kissed the manc badge, it was a stupid thing to do yes but can you all say you haven't done anything you regret or shouldnt of done, if you say you haven't then your a liar. wourld class player would welcome him back in a heart beat.
29
No. 22 Paddy, nice one! :o) All he had to do was say No to the transfer. Then he kissed their badge as well. He's got a lot of apologising to do before the fans will take him back. It's his own fault, nobody else's, he made the decisions, he said Yes, he decided to kiss their badge. I have no sympathy for him whatever, he can't have it two ways.
28
a great deal of people need to remember the stick they gave him game in game out.
His only reply was goals and a kiss of the badge.
he was young and hurting what do you expect ?
The best player ive seen in a blue kit id run up to old trafford and carry him home like a lost son
if your unhappy about the badge it says more about you than him grow up.
His sale alone saved this club and the signing of him would raise our profile somewhat.
27
I am ashamed at the comments made below, how fickle many so called blues are! Time heals all wounds but not this one, kissing the manure badge infront of us and thats ok???? Go and support someone else you lemons! He's well past his best anyway, he's mr inconsistent now, couple good games, couple bad games. Plus he'll upset the apple cart with his ego. No thanks! Move along!
25
Like a shot. Anyone would have gone to man u. He has won leagues, champions league and cups in the time he has been there. dont forget the money we got for him started the progress moyes has made.
24
NEVER EVER. P.K. No10 Spot on. One of us he maybe but he relinquished that privilege when he kissed the badge of the Manure.
Ever Blue
Ever True
EVERTON
23
Come on the lads a Blue and how does the saying go? As long as we keep our players together, him and Barkley attacking mid in a couple of seasons...
22
Rooney coming home would put a permanent smile on my face ,but don,t leave it till your over the hill wayne
21
i was there 10 years ago also at wrexham on the wednesday before wen he got his first 2 goals for us i was excited about him then and would be the same if he ever came back but he'l only come back to finish his carrer off and by that time he probably be finished and no good to us
20
I think he'll be back. When his current contract runs down.
Duno if he will be accepted. For me, yes. For Others , No.
19
thought we were past the Walter Smith stage of bringing in players who were in the twilight of their careers. Rooney may come back, but not until he's 34 or 35!
18
No chance he shit on our club let him rot in Manchester carry on kissing that Manc badge your not welcome here
17
One of us?! Are you serious? He lost his right to be one of us eight years ago when he left in the fashion he did right at the end of the transfer window. People can try to claim his sale money saved the club and he never wanted to leave all they like. Its an excuse because hes a good player so people are desperate to believe it wasnt down to him and his snake of an agent. Wouldn't let him back in the ground. Anyone who thinks that playing for Everton isn't "good enough" is not one of us.
16
Deffo !!! The badge kissing was a stupid thing to do, but he was a young lad caught up in the moment, getting abuse from the crowd ! He's a blue and quite a talented one, I'd have him back now or in 4/5 years, he will always be a great footballer !!!!
14
iv had it from horses mouth that he wants out at utd and that he is desperate to play for everton again, to things are, that we could,nt afford him and secondly and more importantly you dont kiss the badge of another team after scoring against us, an evertonian wouldnt do that......
13
He'll be way past his best if he ever comes back. But he won't. He's a Manc now. Be bad news as well if he ever tried to buy the club. His none football life hasn't exactly been a storming success or full of diplomacy has it? Can't bear to think what kind of an owner he'd make.
12
I would go and pick him up myself and bring him back in my mondeo, but i'd drive him past anfield with him on a chain, let him smell blood!
11
Wayne would have to take a substantial pay cut to return to Everton.you could see it happening maybe happening 4 years from now, but not anytime soon. Only if we get a abramovic take over maybe sooner. Wouldn't hold our breath
10
Does no one remember him kissing the Utd badge infront of the Park End ???? Id never want to see him back in a Everton shirt to many people are fickle!! He made his choice and acted the way he did, and why would you want a Rooney back whos gave his best years to the Mancs. So just come back at the end of your career to appease the fans and everything is okay, not for me!
9
No!!! Because he would only be coming back once his best years are behind him. Why would we accept this? If he said 'next year I'm going back to Everton', then yes, but this wouldn't happen. He'll be about 34/35 when he says he'd like to come back!
8
He obviously loves the Blues, his family are totallly Blue but kissing that red Manc. badge against us at the Park End still tastes bad.
7
I've never boo'ed him, he's one of us, for that reason i'd want him back. I think he will, due to age reinvent himself and I see him as a top class mid thirty year old holding midfielder, hopefully in a blue shirt. coyb
6
no problem,he,s still a blue and players come and go its a fact of the game,peanuts came back and look at the job he is doing???and lets not forget we got £27,000.000 for him,so if it happens lets welcome him back to his first and real football home
4
Too right, I'd have him back like a shot. He's one of us and always has been, don't think he's ever had an outstanding game against us because of it. He won't be back though, we can't afford him :o(
