Hi Maximus,
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my mail. Having seen what I have of Rooney, I think that he can fill an attacking/creative midfield position as well as he can a position up front. The few times that I have seen him play for England, that is what has impressed me more than anything, his link up play, creativity, directness etc.
Would agree about spending that much on a redundant player. I was merely looking at it from this point of view:
If Rooney stays, evertons money worries remain...only exagerrated by the increased pay check to rooney each week
Moyes needs players, whether Rooney stays or goes he needs players (he talks of at least 5 for a squad at the moment).
Liverpool have a bunch of players that they are looking to shed. Not too many people are looking to buy them by the looks of it. (3 weeks to go to the season and the 'dead wood' being identified in the media are still at the club)
I was just supposing that a deal could be done at little cost to Liverpool that would benefit both teams.
I don't see too many other clubs that would be able to offer that to Everton.
was just a thought.
