    3 goals and 1 assist in the PL last season, aside from running around a lot, I'd call that ****e for a second striker / No. 10

    It's not really what he's there for, though. He only got 5 when they won the league.

    Stats don't always tell the whole story. They're often quite misleading, in fact.
    My favourite is still the old Brunt > Xavi one that I used to throw around a few years back.
    Chris Brunt got more goals, more assists and created more chances than Xavi one season, while playing for West Brom.
    Clearly the better player...

    Okazaki is no Xavi mate ;)

    He's also not a midfield player........

    He's also not fit to lace Rooneys boots

    Fookin hell.....hardly inspiring ,though not at all surprising..... This sort of signing is probably a contributing reason why Everton have underachieved for the past couple of decades !
    Can see all the " welcome home Wazza " banners flying outside every brothel in Merseyside if this deal comes off !
    My heart goes out to poor Coleen !

    My younger bro been to his house delivering food mid week, says he is all about the kebabs this was towards the end of the season when we were struggling with injuries and had EL finals coming up

    My bro is big utd and Rooney fan, his mate owns a takeaway and Rooney rang in an order while my bro was visiting his mate, couldn't believe it so offered to deliver it in his E class feeling badass, then saw Rooney's cars <laugh> said may as well have taken his mates delivery micra

    Really nice bloke though happy to pose for pics and chat on his doorstep for a while. Exchanged numbers too and its actually legit but my bro won't let me have it<laugh>.

    At this moment in time yes.

    Bit tongue in cheek okazaki vs Rooney. Obviously Rooney of old would wipe okazaki easy peasy.

    If we're being honest nowadays, between the two of them i think its more horses for courses. They are both not outstanding and depending whether you want to to press as a team or have a bit more guile in Rooney then you pick 1 over the other. I would say theres no much between them nowadays. Think rooneys hunger and legs have gone. Even his shooting isn't what it was.

    Okazaki misses a load of sitters but he's a constant nuisance. He's a park ji sung and he was an asset to United. Rooney i'm not sure what he does nowadays as he's not really played much football at all.
