He's never had more than a few decent games on the spin. Let's see him do it regularly before we start spending big money on him.
Jack Rodwell | Sold to City
- Thread starter Gabe
- Start date
Thats not what a lot of people on here were saying at the time
At £16 million it was a great deal - because he looks like he's ready to really step up to the next level based on current performances.
Will be a key player for us for definate.
Well I'm no expert but when you consider that Pastore signed for PSG for 40m+ then Young is a bargain at 16m.
Indeed - not all English players are over priced.
I think all players who are on a long contract, at a rich stable club and has the potential to become WC players are overpriced.
It's the other Everton lad we'll end up breaking the bank for. Or trying to, City probably won't let it happen.
It's actually gotten to the stage now where fans write a players career off as finished before the player is even old enough to have a career yet.
I reckon we're keeping an eye on him. We'd probably only decide whether to make a move atm if someone else did first and forced our hand. We seem to do that quite a lot with young players who'd carry a fairly big fee, which makes sense so long as the player's value isn't skyrocketing in the meantime.

Actually reports in Italy that Pastore cost only 22 million, the rest of that 18 million went to the very dubious third party ownership / agent nexus that surrounds some of these south american player and the dodgy owners of PSG.

So do we all want him again yet?
It's a transfer. In these lean times, anything is enough to get the muppet juices flowing, even an appearance in a meaningless England friendly
I think he's very good, not sure where he fits in at United, but if he worked with Cleverley we could have an incredible English midfield.

Let's be realistic here
You seem to be forgetting our best player there....
This is the team of the future. He plays for city now.
Plus I couldn't fit him in other than on the left and then I'd have to deal with all the best player out of position bs and it would detract from the team.
He will play for City in the future?
You think?
Erm I asked you. Isn't that what you were implying?
I think there is a possibility yes. But I'll probably play welbeck on the left and move him up front instead.
Brady can bide his time on the bench.
Agree with this. He must want to win something else than the La Liga and CL. This line up is only 3 years away!
All these team of the futures change all the time, few years ago it was pique and evans in defence etc
I'd take anyone for our CM
Seems to have rediscovered the form that got him noticed, I thought he played well in his two recent England outings. I'm sure come the summer we'll be linked with him again if he keeps the form going.
& rightly so. He is a player who would suit us and we could turn him into a bonafide star.
Is he a goalgetter from midfield or a Keano-esque personality? The one player whom I really haven't paid much attention to.
Neither. he's not a goalgetter at all and there arent really many keanoesque players in the world atm.
he's primarily a defence minded midfielder who can also make those late runs into the box actually. good talent but needs some luck with injuries.
I think Rodwell would make sense for us, be apart of that spine of the english team with Smalling, Jones, Cleverley, Young and Wellbeck and he would fit in well with Cleverly in CM imo.
Rodwell would be an absolute star here, will become a better version of Carrick.
I agree. He's excellent off the ball. Not stationary at all. Would compliment Anderson and Tom
I dont see why people kept saying he would be a player to fit into the defence as a CB. Id like to see us get him and Fergie to help develop him though.
I think it was mainly because David Moyes said he thought he'd drop back into centre back later in his career (Moyes has always favoured experience in his defence which is likely part of the reason he didn't play there at all) and because he played most of his youth career there.
Fair enough. He does look really good in a defensive midfield. Ive said it before but for England id like to see a three of Rodwell, Cleverley and Wilshere.
He'd be a potentially good addition to our young English core Fergie is building.
One for the future definitely but i want him to prove himself at everton first on a consistent basis. the lad needs luck with injuries too. dont want us to spend the 25mil that it'd cost to bring him here now tbh. wont really solve our problems atm in CM.
