City in for Rodwell

[SORTED]

Just had a text from family in southport. Jack Rodwell's Mum is of the opinion her lad could very well be playing for City next year!

[Original Dub]

I'd have him like a light - hope its true!

So do I! I can only imagine what Everton would want for him though. Think of a number, triple it, and add a few zeros.

[Beefymcfc]

Sure she wasn't thinking 'Manchester'?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

We never got Rod Fanni but that's decent substitute.

I dont think Gollum would sell us a dodgy motor after the Lescott fiasco.

[jonrambo]

how does rodwell's mum fit into your family from southport?

[MaineRoadMemories]

you've really gone and done it now; he's talking in riddles about his precious as we speak.

[Mike J]

top player. would be great to piss gollum off again.

Never had a good look at him, is he any good?
Is he a creative midfielder?

Rodwell is a midfielder mate not a centre back.

Plays both for everton but from what ive seen and read allways thought he was stronger at centre back, here we go just found these quotes

EVERTON starlet Jack Rodwell has the potential to become the new Rio Ferdinand, according to Arsenal hero and Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith.

“He’s comfortable on the ball and I think central midfield is where he’s best but maybe by the time he’s 23 or 24 he may be a top centre-half.

“I don’t know how Rio Ferdinand started his career but I think he started as a central midfield player and eventually moved back. He has a lot of similar qualities.” Mikkel Arteta

would love him at city but not sure on the validity of the source lol

I think the Lescott transfer showed it doesn't matter one fucking bit what Moyes wants.

It's worth us bidding for him just to annoy the twat. May as well chuck a bid in for Fellaini, Arteta, Pienaar while we are at it.

I read an article where he said he was using Rio Ferdinand as his inspiration, starting in midfield when young to help his around game before dropping back into defence later on. Things could always have changed in the past season and a half though.

I may be wrong and i usually am but i have never seen Rodwell play any other position but midfield for Everton.

Theres an article here: http://backpagefootball.com/one2watch/jack-rodwell/ about him - he made his debut as a central defender but seems (according to that article) to be thought of now more as a midfielder. Anyway he certainly has the potential for versatility that Mancini seems to value.

Plays midfield atm but Moyes has him marked to eventually move to centre back

Can't see the point of Moyes marking any of his young players for anything in the future...The board have marked them already "FOR SALE"...

Glimpses of very good talent, but I would be afraid of going anywhere near Everton after last time.
