Whats Everton looking like now with Lukaku going, is Rooney going to be thier main striker or replacing Barkley?

They brought in Sandro a young Spanish striker who's highly rated and are currently linked with Giroud along with Rooney.

Still remember the day he signed for us, still cannot believe it's been more than 10 years, he won everything that he could have won with us

If he left like 3 years ago I would be devastated, his dramatic decline makes it more like a 'meh' situation since everybody thinks it's the right thing to do, best of luck for him

I talked about the fans who mock him. Yea liking and disliking a player is different but to say, "glad he's going", "good riddance"...etc etc is mocking his achievements at the club. Why can't fans just be graceful when a player leaves? Hell, if a player leaves and he mocks United, every single fan would be up in arms...& rightfully too.

We should just show the lad some respect. If not for him as a person but for his achievements at the club alone should merit it.
As you probably know I mock him all the time but i don't mock his achievements, he's been very good for us but I'm very happy he's going/gone, same when RVN went.

13 years. As I said above I was at his debut. What a night that was. I left buzzing about the new player we had signed. The next 10 years were amazing then like flicking a switch bang he lost it.

Same, I don't really get this overly emotional stuff - maybe a slight pang of nostalgia but that's mainly linked to realising how old I am and how quickly time passes.
Same here. I have no connection with Rooney. He is a millionaire footballer. Thanks for the goals, good luck at Everton, but I won't feel anything.

He's been a fantastic servant to the club but its definitely right to let him leave. Time both parties move on. Thanks Wayne!

Don't sign old players and cast offs
Why the feck would we fund his wages? We might as well keep him as a bench option if we are still paying him.
It doesn't say 'fund his wages', it says 'part fund his wages', which is no doubt a guess, but likely an accurate one as it's standard practice when offloading someone on an extremely high salary.

Lot of talk that Rooney is taking a huge cut in salary to rejoin Everton, so we may not be funding part of his wages. But there is talk of a huge loyalty bonus that United will pay Rooney, so that maybe the way it goes down.

I'm not aware how much you knock him. I generally reply to someone's post rather than reply to the person. But that's fair, at least you appreciate what he's done for this club, others would make out he was a complete waste of money and wasn't value for money.

Wonder what kind of reception he'll get. He's been hated there for years

Wanted us to accept Chelsea's offer, after Fergie left, so not exactly surprising I'm not sad to see him go.

Haven't been a fan since he decided to publicly announce his desire to leave because we weren't spending enough on transfers, before he realised actually it was that we weren't spending enough on his salary.

Was a very good player for us, in his peak. Will be remembered fondly by most, before too long, I'm sure.

We will sign another striker along with Rooney. Koeman is a manager who doesn't want a strong first 11 and naff replacement players but a squad where players can be replaced and their replacement is of a similar level. We have the funds to accommodate that now.

Wow he is finally going. Thank you wayne for the goals and memories.

I feel like the club can finally move forward now.

Oh and give Mourinho a contract for life. Did what was needed to be done.

If he had the discipline, work ethic and nutrition of Ronaldo, he had the talent to go down as one of the best ever. But he ruined everything.

I can't say I've seen that level of criticism of him and obviously it's nonsense, I just think he's outstayed his welcome and with his wages etc people have just got sick of him.

Yeah we're paying you £130m for Lukaku so you should be able to get some top talent

SSN just showed some footage of him outside the Everton training ground in his car signing autographs.
