No, Rooney for whatever reason looked like a league 2 layer for us in the end. He needed a change.
We should of spent the money on a better player.

He certainly does seem to have had a new lease of life at Goodison.
I would certainly at this moment be taking Rooney to Russia if I was Southgate. What do you think about him going?
For all the criticism of Lukaku I don't think he's done that badly. It's a big step up for him from Everton and maybe it'll take time for him to fully settle. Andy Cole was the same and he became a really good all round forward after a few seasons. There have been signs recently that Lukaku is improving in this aspect.
I wouldn't have taken the OP scenario though as Lukaku, even when not playing that well, will stay in and around the box. Rooney, IMO, would still be dropping deep and going into other players' space. We have enough No.10s as it it!
No, Rooney should never stick an England shirt on again.
He isn't a midfielder and he isn't a great striker anymore.
Wilshere should be the playmaker with Alli and Dier in a 3 man midfield.
I'd certainly be tempted to rewind - not to have Rooney back, but to have the opportunity to replace him with a different player. I don't doubt Lukaku will end up being comfortably a greater asset for us over the next 3 years than Rooney would have been. I still don't think it was wise to tie up so much of our money in a relatively one-dimensional attacking player.

Ah well that's the end of that debate
Another interesting fact in Lukaku v Rooney debate.
Rooney has scored same amount of goals with 50% of the shots Lukaku has taken.

Yeah but you said moratta was better, and he is awful, so that cant be taken seriously
Agreed Morata and Lukaku have both been underwhelming if we are kind about it and flops if we are not.
Rooney is the real star from the 3.
Hasn't Rooney scored like 5 pens with a couple of them being rebounds after his initial pen was saved?

you can't just compare the two directly. Lukaku you have to see what the two bring to the team and the players around, which unfortunately can't be compared unless you go to a parallel universe where we still had rooney and compare the results.

Rooney hasn't got much left in him. He's slowed down so much. But he still has great control, and vision. Lukaku runs around a lot. Often in his own half.
