He`s again injured
Jack Rodwell | Sold to City
- Thread starter Gabe
- Start date
But he gets to hang out with Hayley. Could be worse.
My bet is on Rodwell converting to a CB... Thats if we got him.
Rio's replacement is right here. Just my 2 cents.

These are my thoughts every time I watch him. Just sits there and watches the game go buy. Doesn't seem to want the ball and doesn't seem to be able to win it back easily either.
He does not need to convert to play as a CB. He can play in both positions - defensive midfield and central defense, but he prefers to play as a central defender.
He is going to be a class act, just needs patience and maturing
There is no doubt he has a lot of potential. Him playing well, maturing or reaching his full potential is not as important at this age as taking care of his injuries and find a way to stay fit. He has been getting injured of late a lot.
We dont need potential.
We need the end product. Replacement for Scholes.

Rodwell is not the replacement for Scholes now and he can never be.
Our immediate need is for a replacement for Scholes. And we are on a shoe-string budget.
No he doesn't. He's played there for England U-21s but never in the league. I've never seen him play any senior Everton game in defence, but people keep repeating the "he's a natural central defender" line - based on no evidence at all:
I m not the one yelling on here for us to get Rodwell. I m yelling for us to sign one of Hazard, Pastore or Hamsik.
Meaning that if he moved to us, he wouldn't be playing DM anymore.
We wouldn't need him there unless we lost O'Shea or something. If he's going to turn into a class act defender then leave him there.
He has the potential to turn into a top class CB, MF would be a difficult feat, but if he can accomplish it then good luck to him.
Again, the "he can turn into a top class centre back" line. Can I ask where people get this impression from? It seems based on nothing to me. How do people seem so sure when he's hardly ever played there. Can you tell me what games people have seen him play in the centre of defence that they've based this opinion on?
i seriousley do not get this thing with jack rodwell. he isnt even first choice at everton.
im not one of these who craics on that i watch every single game in every single league (like some of the dicks on here) so admittedley i have not seen a great deal of him. what i have seen he's looked ok. potentially could be a good / very good player. he has the advantage of being a big, strong lad but what has he done to justify a £25m price tag???? mehmut ozil and rafael van der vaart moved for a combined fee of around £25m last summer. i appreciate that they where out of contract/favour AND the price for the latter would have been more had we shown interest. But what i suppose im trying to say is that i would be absolutley devestated if we shelled out £25m on rodwell, as for £40 for him and henderson?????? We have got to be looking at better players than those two!!!!!!
I maybe wrong and the great man may see potential in them that i dont and they could go on to be topclass players but at the minute, and i think for the next few years a midfield pairing of anderson and fletcher would dominate a midfield pairing of rodwell and henderson.
i am all for siginging young english talent. but we are talking about replacing world class players in scholes and giggs (and keane still to a certain extent) so i would like us this year to shell out some serious money on a central midfield player who is first choice. somebody who is going to be our main man, number on central midfielder. ideally a 24 year old roy keane but as thats not possible i dont know who the answer is. but in my opinion, rodwell isnt and henderson certainly isnt.
as for this "he will be a top centre half" thats bollox
it annoys the life out of me that people think that big strong players who arent good enough to play centre midfield will be a good centra half. i think its insulting to top centre halfs. they have a skilll and desire that can not be taught.

We already have Rio's replacement.
Well I think he is the type of player we should be buying good young english midfielder with a lot of potential. People saying they don't see what the deal is what Jack needs is some flashy youtube vids to convince everyone. Many of us in here have seen this kid play for the last few years at all levels in actual games not youtube there is a reason why we are interested in him.
For Rodwell read the next Jermaine Jenas.
really?
I don't rate Rodwell as high as Jenas tbh.
You actually rate Jenas?
I did back when he first started out, and at that time he was better than Rodwell is, in that sense Jenas > Rodwell.
again i havent seen much of paul pogba but i have read interviews with fergie, the coaching staff and senior players who have all raved about the lad. signing rodwell (who may not be as good both presently or potentially) would reduce game time for pogba, tunnicliffe and the other young lads coming through. so, if rodwells case we would be shelling out in excess of £20m for pure potential. id rather trust in out own potential currently at the club and put the £20m towards signing a genuine superstar midfielder!!!!
Would rather we sign M'Vila
Aye. I see a great deal in common between the Jenas that played well for Forrest for 3 months and first couple of seasons at Newcastle with young Mr. Rodwell here. Both have great engines, can run up and down the field all day. Are capable of popping up with a goal or two, share a bit of enthusiasm but ultimately are players that had it not been for their physical attributes would struggle to command midfield slots at the higher echelons of world football.
Obviously Rodwell has plenty of time to improve on the finer aspects of the game but I am inclined to believe that he will not amount to anything better than another Jermaine Jenas. Now different people rate players differently but IMO he is not what need. We already have a Jenas type player in Fletcher (better than Jenas IMO) and are crying out for a different dimension to our midfield options.
So no thanks
Fair enough lad.
Rodwell's a holding midfielder with maturity and a presence that is impressive - neither of which you could apply to Jenas.
I don't think he's anything like Fletcher.
I don't think he's anything like Fletcher.
He's got quite big teeth.
in one!!! could not agree more
Pretty much spot on here.
He is really nothing like Jenas.
Sure he is. Light skin, English, plays in midfield.
They're practically the same person.
They're practically the same person.
The physios seems to believe that he's got a bright future ahead while its rumored that Owen Hargreaves had said that he sees him as his natural successor.
nail, head
If you're good enough you'll play. Simple.
Jack Rodwell? Injured?
Never.
Never.
I would have thought Rodwell would be penciled in for the holding role(if he is not needed in defense) with Pogba maybe playing a little further forward due to his eye for a goal like in the same way Real Madrid for example play with either Diarra or Khedira doing the holding sometimes while Alonso plays a little further forward! Rodwell is looking like a bit of a sick note though!
Except Rodwell hardly has presence whenever he's played.
