Most of us Everton fans are delighted with this tbh. He was behind Gibson (sorry lads!) and Fellaini anyway and Barkley has 10X more potential than Jack. We won't have let him go for a small fee either. Wish the lad all the best at you lot though.

I'm sure he'll flourish now he's going to be playing football instead of rugby.

The FA Cup and PL winner who was a main-stay in the best defence of the last 2 seasons.

I'm sure that Scouse Blue aren't really that happy, he was one of their 'Future World Class Players' not too long ago, a player that Taggart has been constantly trying to pry from their hands.

Hi all not at all claiming to be ITK, just passing on info that was given to me on a recent cruise to the Norwegian Fjords, on the cruise was Joe Royle as Guest speaker and he stated that City are in advanced talks to take Rodwell.

I dont know anymore whatsoever as the cruise is over, so make of it what you like... but he was very convincing!!!

OP was obviously right, but I'd still love to know why Joe Royle knows these things.

He probably has genuine contacts from both sides
 
He has hardly ever played centre back so he's not very good supposed defensive cover. He's gone off the boil for the past few seasons, sure he put in a good performance on Silva, but we don't have to man mark people out of games like Everton do because we're better than them. It doesn't at all appear like Mancini would have been overly keen, he's moaned about a lack of signings and suddenly this just comes about? He's a decent squad player true, but for £15-20 million should we be paying that amount for a squad player?
 
I see this as a signing with the home grown quota in mind. Stuart Taylor left on a free, Barry isn't getting any younger, Johnson is unlikely to be at City long-term. So we need to always be on the look out for home grown players. I also wonder if that's what the thinking is/was with Scott Sinclair (if there was any truth in that story).
