But it highlights that Mancini wanted him before the like of Marwood came.Paulmcfc2703 said:Many moons and injuries have past since then.pudge said:Jumanji said:Right. I don't like a particular transfer, so I must know more than Mancini. Sound logic.
When did Mancini tell you he watched him for a year? Sounds like another board signing to me.“I like Jack Rodwell but will Everton sell? Impossible"
From 2010

Regarding injuries, look at Cesc at Barca. He was reguarly on the injured list at the gooners, because they rushed him back, again and again. With better treatement (which Rodwell will get here) and a less desperate nature to play him ( which also be the same for Rodwell), he has gone an entire season with out injury. Everton have had one of the smallest squads for nearly a decade, which has meant, in Rodwell's case he has been rushed back way to soon on several occasions. Shit, even Hargreaves stayed clear of the physio room at Carrington!
I hope you're right mate, and I suppose he does have age heavily on his side. Very, very skeptical though, I doubt we'll see anything noteworthy from him for at least a season and really this is the season we needed to push on with the likes of De Rossi to really kick everyone whilst they were down.

That's become his go-to line.
So it became his go-to line 2 years ago?Jumanji said:Mancini always says when asked about a player, " I like Player X, but Club Y would never sell " ...

2. Bobby wants to sign Rodwell, you don't like Rodwell.
3. Sucks to be you.
