City agree fee for Jack Rodwell

[Joehannes]

English = Marwood

Foreign = Mancini

That's obviously how it works. Then if the player turns out to be shit he's a Marwood signing.

You get the idea...............

NM, just seen above.

Nothing new on City I'm afraid

I'm hearing Barca are in for Luiz though but I can't see Chelsea selling

Again? His defensive frailties wouldn't be as exposed in La Liga, plus they'd probably overpay and fill Roman's pockets.

They see him as there next Puyol

Well he certainly fills Puyol's role as the Real-Life Sideshow Bob.

I thought Barca were close to signing Alex Song? Luiz will cost an absolute fortune.

They've been sniffing around him for the last two windows and they're not going away

Just looking at the fee I cant believe we would have spent £20 million or anything like that on him with financial fair play in mind and the fact that Yaya, Barry, Milner and currently De Jong are all miles ahead of him in the squad.

This is much more like the AJ signing. Hes being signed as a squad player for the games that dont matter on the basis hes english, proven in the PL and is still young so could improve.

Its also clear Everton are absolutely desperate for money and are in a very very weak bargaining position. They sold Cahill their best player for years for penuts. This is not like when they sold Lescott or Rooney this is more than likely a forced sale to pay off some debt and keep the banks happy. The fee will be in accordance with this.

If you look at it sensibly the fee is much more likely to be £10- £12 million with maybe a few million addons based on success (fair enough)

Hes not a top player and Everton are pretty much bankrupt. We were only willing to pay £15 million for RVP so all this talk of a big fee for Rodwell is clearly well wide of the mark.

Eh?

Barca are going to get shafted with Luiz. They had already baulked on Martinez and I think Chelsea want to recoup their money with Luiz. Good luck to them.

They've been sniffing around Vinny as well :(

Only a matter of time before they start putting in derisory offers for him

We won't get shafted on with Vinnie. His contract extension has put paid to that. My concern is with Real and David Silva. Still no news on his contract?
