Kimbo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'd be so disappointed with signing Rooney if I was an Everton supporter. Really poor signing for a team in their position. He'll be expecting a regular starting position as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Look at what he has won and what he has achieved. He simply had to leave Everton to fulfill his ambitions and potential. That said, if I were an everton fan I wouldn't want him back. He leaves when they were not at their best to become the best and now returns when they are at their best (or heading that way) while he's at his worst. And on those wages as well. Fuck that.

Dave Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If it was anyone but Everton I'd think it was a terrible transfer, a huge flop waiting to happen. But I'd be quite excited about if I was an Everton fan tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It's a no brainer for Everton, if they can afford the wages. At the very worst, he will graft his bollocks off and at best he will rekindle some of his old form. As someone else pointed out, he needs to slow his game down and stop chasing the ball around so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Aye, it could go either way but I reckon he'll do well and I'd be buzzing if I were an Everton fan this summer. He'll have to alter his game but he'll be working under a good, ambitious manager who can give him some attention now. He'll get the help he needs to adapt his game, because there's no way one of the great English talents of our time is finished at 31 imo. Agreed, think a change of scenery could do him some good. Certainly on the downside of his career, but there's still a very good player in there. Think Everton fans are kidding themselves if they're not content unless they replace Lukaku with a striker of similar quality, simply because there aren't other players of that caliber around. And they wouldn't be signing for Everton either. Kinda like Spurs with Bale a few years ago, no way they were ever going to replace him like-for-like. But a good opportunity to re-invest in the squad and add depth. Sandro, Rooney, Klaassen, Keane, Pickford, (and Sigurdsson) is a pretty good haul, even if some of them don't work out long-term.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 As good as Lukaku is, I always felt considering his power and pace that he doesn't dominate as much as he could. He's a better goalscorer than he is a footballer. Compare that to someone like Drogba who is the reverse and as such was better. Costa at Chelsea is better as well.

Mike Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 wish we would spend a fucking fortune on ordinary players like Everton. Spending the going rate on the players that Rafa wants would suffice.

I actually think in Mourinho he probably has as good as a coach as he needs right now in terms of his development because he will become more tactically astute, harder working and probably more efficient. If less exciting. Drogba lite perhaps, but more goals? He's a very good player mind, but needs to do more to be really world-class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better goalscorer than he is a footballer. Compare that to someone like Drogba who is the reverse and as such was better. Costa at Chelsea is better as well. The Drogba comparison is crass. Sure they are both big, black, strong and quick but their styles are very different and they've had very different career progressions. Drogba and Costa are far more similar. Both came to prominence a little older. Both are great all-rounders first and goal scorers second. Yeah but where was Drogba at 24?

I think there's less incentive when he scores so many. I can see him refining his movement and his 'plays' so he can score more but at the moment I struggle to see him becoming a Drogba, Shearer type fulcrum of attack.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Eh, black has nowt to do with the comparisons.... Anyway we are talking about centre-forwards at leading clubs. If you read my comments properly you will clearly see that I have defined both as different types of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Always felt that Lukaku could do more in the air. For such a big guy, he doesn't score enough headers. He's best with the ball at his feet toward goal. He'll need to improve that hold up to further himself as a striker. He's not someone I would class as dangerous. When he's on the ball, I honestly expect him to make a mistake, so I'm suprised when he does score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
