I’M disappointed with the timing of Wayne Rooney’s Derby departure. He may think the new owners can’t put in the money to fund promotion or he might be firing a little shot across Frank Lampard’s bows if Everton don’t have the best start. But it’s hard on the players Derby have left that he has gone just before pre-season given they’ve probably spent the summer thinking, ‘After the disappointment of last season, at least we have Wayne Rooney and we’ll give League One a good go’.
