Rooney to Everton feels a bit like Torres back to Atletico. Written off but has still had a positive contribution.
This,

I just don't think people can realise it. We also signed Eto'o on a similar deal, he decided to piss off after six months but he was able to make a real impact in the time he was here.
Rooney isn't the player he once was, we all know that so I don't know why it constantly needs to be said. I still firmly believe he can make an impact, his experience, leadership and ability to step up at big moments may not make a highlight package look any better but are all such valuable assets in his game, which shouldn't be overlooked.
Whilst Everton supporters may have goals of being on par with the top six and spending just as much/more money as them, we still just don't have the pulling power to bring in the real big names. We're not going to win the league with the signings we're makin. Or sig the same level of players as the six teams above us are trying to. We need to create a platform to become a Champions League side and then use that to enhance the reptation of the club so all of us stars want to say and the club can compete in transfers of those big names with everyone else in the squad. It takes a lot of progression but I feel we're taking all the right steps foward. I've never been more excited to support Everton.
