Jack Rodwell is the word from former manager

Wasn't Moyes pictured at the Etihad in one of realfblokes twitterposts the other day?

Yep, was there agreeing the fee for Rodwell and Phil Neville if my sources are correct.

Great stuff.

Why the fuck would he be a guest speaker on a cruise through norwegian fjords.

how the fuck do i know im not his PA or travel agent, I asked him about football not his arrangements.
Was it a sportsmans dinner type cruise, stag do or old bids with blue rinses, just can't get my head round old big ed on a fjord cruise. Surely I'm not on my own.

Apart from my kids i was the youngest at 43 but in the dinner there were many my ageish, but a lot of old timers though.

Just for the record Joes best keeper was big bert

Some strange comments there.

Not good enough for us...but good enough for the league champions.

I would sell him for 5m

We'd be buying potential basically, not the ready-made Bob seems to want with De Rossi.

To be fair mate, you've cherry picked a couple of posts on there, that are negative, there are also plenty of positive posts about him. The biggest issue regarding Rodwell seems to be his injuries.

I hope that this is bullshit, not the OP but that we are in for Rodwell.

What is it with our strategy? Can't believe we are trying for these kind of players when there are players like De Rossi and Martinez knocking about.

I wasnt happy i must admit
 
Rodwell's match at our place was the best opposition individual performance at the Etihad last season (after Gokhan Inler). Very good player, still time to fill potential but his injury record is awful. I'd stay away just because of that.

If true, I think signing Rodwell and Sinclair would be in order to comply with the homegrown players rule. I imagine they'd be squad players used mainly for domestic cups, whether the players would be happy with that is a different matter.

I don't see why signing Sinclair would impact on Johnson, they'd probably both play in domestic cups. I think Johnson will stay regardless of who we sign, he's a valuable member of the squad. I know most of his goals came in games that were already won, but as we know from last season, Goal Difference can be huge and to have a player who can regularly score coming on as a sub is a great quality to have.

I agree that Johnson will stay. Everton would need to sell (not that it's worth much) to pay Johnson's wages.

Lot of Everton fans on Twitter saying they'd take £10million and laugh their way to the bank, a lot of them don't seem to rate him anymore? Or maybe it's his frequent injuries. A lot of them want AJ in exchange.
Literally every everton fan on twitter say they dont want him and theyd rip our hand off at £15M.
Why cant we be after Fellani?!?!


Twatini says we can't afford him...
 
For fucks sake can we sign a player who will actually improve our squad. He is not better than De Jong, Yaya, Barry or Milner and I personally would play Razak ahead of him.

Milner won the best young player award when he was playing as a CM for Aston Villa !
 
Odd one this, was a quality prospect a couple of years ago but never really pushed on, whether that's been the often mentioned injuries/lack of playing time, played out of position, I guess 'Shackattack' would be a better source of info.

I don't supposed Bobby sees him as a Center half in the making, in the Vinnie mode ? From what I've seen of him can deffo see the potential with that one.
 
Really good young player in my opinion but he'd be a huge risk considering the injuries he's had and the price we'd have to pay.

Bacon chops saw him as such until he was put off by injuries and form,then Jones became available.
 
I wouldnt be surprised if mancini asked for Agger De Rossi And Hazard and gets Rodwell and Sinclair

Yeah I thought that was the case mate, just wasn't sure whether I was imagining things, saw him as an eventual successor to Ferdinand was what I recall ?
