Jack Rodwell

[bluesince76]

He'll probably get his first three points at the Etihad as well.

Good luck to him - was miles in front of anything else England had as a prospect a few years ago, but injuries may have ended that. I just hope he gets to play some football over the coming years

Loan or permanent deal?

permanent

The right decision for us and him.
Wanted him to do well as I think he has the ability and seems a decent lad but I gave up on him after the home cup game this year (Watford?) when he got hauled off at half time. He had a shocker!

Keep Boyata and lose Rodwell...don't get it. Wages?

Boyata academy trained for CL squad, Rodwell isn't. Only other player academy trained and over 21 is Richards.

Boyata is club-trained homegrown. Rodwell isn't.

You've lost me

One is a defender, one is a midfielder

One is always fit, one is never fit

One is garbage, the other is garbage

For 8m sell him before Sunderland finds someone else.

Hull,Sunderland etc. these few teams able to pay 5-10m for some English talents these days (AJ, Wickham to Sunderland, few another to Hull recently or last season...)


Give us 10m for Rodwell and you get Sinclair for free.:)

It would be unreal to count all of the fees and wages spent on Rodwell/Sinclair and compare it to what they really given to us. Not much better than Bridge or RSC in similar comparisons...

wages, Boyata is club-trained, Boyata is happy to sit on his arse for another year and not play whilst Rodwell isn't, thus Boyata is merely filling a spot with little intention of actually playing him, with Rodwell we have to construct scenarios where he plays and then lets us down, but then people pretend he did something right at some point in the distant past to justify it.

Good move for Jack, a club at his level and he'll be looked after up there, good set of fans and he'll get playing time, provided he stays fit. Can resurrect his career at his level and sod's law is he takes 3 points off us, but that's just life.
