When Everton re-signed Wayne Rooney this summer, they’d have probably felt that they were getting a mature veteran who could lead by example both on and off the park. Unfortunately for the club, thirty-one year old Rooney was arrested during the international break on a drink driving charge. That has caused some disruption for the […]

Wayne Rooney has arrived back on Merseyside with a renewed confidence. The all-time leading England goalscorer looked to be struggling at Manchester United for much of last season but it seems his return to Everton seems to be just the tonic he was looking for. Rooney scored the winner on the opening day of the […]

I can see why the Everton board would be extremely interested in bringing Wayne Rooney back to Goodison. As a teenager he announced himself as a fantastic footballing prodigy while playing in Everton blue. Since then he has moved to Manchester United, won plenty of trophies, became their all-time leading goalscorer, captained England and also […]

After the final game of the Premier League season, we automatically turn our attention to next season and think about possible pre-season transfers. The end of a campaign usually sees a fresh start for many a player as they wave goodbye to fans that they’ve entertained for a season or longer. You got the feeling […]

Despite his best efforts at the start of the season, Jose Mourinho hasn’t been able to fit Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney into his starting eleven. The forward can’t start up-top because thirty-five year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic offers more as a lone striker and the Swede has been in sensational form since signing in the […]

One of the biggest differences between Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho so far during their stints in Manchester has been Pep’s ruthlessness when dealing with his sides more established players. The Spaniard has dumped Yaya Toure out of his team and he’s sent former number one Joe Hart out on loan to Torino. Both of these […]

Congratulations to Wayne Rooney, who broke England’s all time goalscoring record with a convincing penalty against Switzerland. But no sooner had his historic rocket hit the roof of the net than we had debates raging on social media with people desperate to compare the Manchester United striker with the man who previously held the record; […]

I had no doubts that Wayne Rooney would get back on the goalscoring trail for Manchester United. The forward is still only twenty-nine years old, so he’s definitely not over the hill. So seeing the English striker firing in a hattrick against Club Brugge and helping his side through to the group stages of the […]

As a player Paul Scholes went twenty years without saying boo to a goose. The midfielder would only do press interviews when it was absolutely required of him. Now that the thirty-nine year old has retired, he simply can’t seem to keep his mouth shut. That has surprised most of us. But what surprised us […]
