Rooney Retires

[JosteinTime]

Hung up his boots for England. Many dislike him but I think it's a great loss to the national team.

He is a legend of the English game. End of. Not too sure he's a loss to the current England setup though. He's made the right choice and doesn't need the grief when he doesn't perform anymore.

I for one hope he can focus all his spare time on developing DCL at Everton so when one of the giants sign him for £50 million plus we mere minnows at Sheff Utd see some sell on advantages :-)

Yes, we're certainly reaping the rewards of the sell-on fees for Harry and Kyle aren't we?

Not dislike, but I think we were all sold a potential that wasn't quite in him. Exceptional at club level, but disappointing for England despite all his goals and appearances. One of the golden generation who failed to deliver.
