I think he will be a great signing. Very happy with this if it all goes through. Fits young hungry and talented profile as well

Top shout from the OP, I think this is a great signing and I have less reservations about it than I would if we'd of signed Martinez for big money. De rossi would've been a dream but did any of us really think it would happen?
People that think this is based on one good performance against us need to give their heads a wobble. Hes been brilliant at our place every time he's played. Comparisons to Henderson ate daft as well. Rodwell is technically very good and has a good engine. His promise and the way his career has gone thus far is very similar to Kompany's at this age and if he turns out to be half as good we have a bargain
my reservations are not about his potential, rather his injury record.
Hence my comparison to Vinny who had injury issues at that age. He's 21 and made over 100 appearances for Everton.

6 years ago we had shit like Dabo and Barton in midfield. Give the lad a chance ffs

Of course il give him a chance,but if I think someone isn't good enough il say it...hope he proves me wrong. I just feel this was the summer to really kick on and leave the rest for dust,from what Mancini has said he thinks the same...Rodwell is hardly an adequate replacement for YaYa when he goes to the ACON.

The right type of player, at the right age and the right price. He'll develop well here given time and patience. Good signing, could be great.

Great back up optionin midfield and defence, and now we seem to be operating with three at the back, he could well get games as one of the 3.

See this is a more rational response than the other one i picked you up on
