The 32-year-old says he had options to move abroad on a big-money contract.
"That's not me, I need those goals, I need that pressure. That desire to play would have been lost if I'd chosen that other option," he told Football Focus.
Speaking to former Everton team-mate Kevin Kilbane, Rooney said he could have decided to see out his career "earning a lot of money".
But he chose to return to Goodison Park 13 years after leaving the Merseyside club.
"I knew that coming back to Everton was more pressure - that's what I wanted. I wanted to prove myself again to the Everton fans and to try to help this club move forward and win silverware.
"I think it was the perfect fit for me and hopefully in the next two or three years we can do that."
...

Guess his love of Everton was not as strong as he thought

Once a blue, always a blue....... or a red or any colour that pays well.

Once a granny shagging scouse cunt....

are you sure you read that correctly? he just signed a new long-term deal and is set to be named captain next season. Favre loves him after their time at Gladbach. the article I read said that we were interested back in January before he signed his deal.

I read an article on a Dutch football site, referring to a Bild interview. I didn't check Bild myself. Now the Dutch site has taken the article down, so they probably were talking out of their arses.

yeah the recent bild report was about our interest back in March prior to Reus re-upping with Dortmund.

So, basically, some Dutch journalists didn't know how to read German that well. Or Nool isn't that good at Dutch. Or at writing in English. It has to be one of them.

I don't think we'll make a better signing this summer, if you know what I mean. And two more years of shit football for that shower of shit on the way, by the looks of it.

I must have watched the one other match he played in because in both France games I've seen I had him as their weak link.

He absolutely was the weak link. He was dirt.

That's Rabiot mate, he's being linked with a return to us. Looks a classy player but a quite lethargic style from what I've seen, not sure he'd fit.
