City agree fee for Jack Rodwell

[nmc]

I'm not convinced at all then after speaking to an everton ST holder today at work, he doesn't give two flying shits he's gone. Said not enough forward passes to play in a team like city. This is something de Jong has started to improve on aswell.

Interesting that an Everton fan should criticise Rodwell for not making more forward passes. Is this the same Everton that kept 11 men behind the ball and played without a recognised striker for the entire game at the Etihad last season... Not surprising he doesn't play it forward enough. I'm sure Jack will adjust in time from playing with superstars like Hibbert and Gibson to slumming it with Yaya and Silva!

I'd like to see a diagram of his passing range but even if his range is limited he is very neat and tidy with the ball like the man he appears to be replacing NDJ.

Jack Rodwell had a better pass completion rate (87.6%) in the Premier League last season than Gareth Barry, as well as Luka Modric, Aaron Ramsey and Frank Lampard, who all played in a similar position.

At the end of the day its not what about Everton fans think or for that matter what we City fans think, all that does matter is the manager has seen some qualities in him and followed his progress to be convinced enough that whatever position he wants Rodwell to play in that he feels he can fulfil it. None of us currently have any idea how Mancini is going to utilise and accomadate him but he's seen something he can work with and that's good enough for me.

Surely you mean it's Marwood that's seen something in him that he likes ;-)
