Rodwell Loan to Everton in Jan??

[mgreenz97]

Absolute tosh.Will not happen.Why strengthen one of our leading opponents .... MP isn`t fucking daft.

You have low expectations if you think Everton are one of our leading opponents

One game lost all season so far,playing well and scoring.They`ll be nearer to us than the Rags.

They aren't title contenders though, they'll be pushing for Europa League at best considering how strong the current top 4 is.

Unless Arsenal are now on the start of their yearly fuck-ups.I still think Liverpool are not as strong as they like to think and Chelsea,well at the moment they can`t score.Just think that Everton could make a top four,but yes the Europa League is very much on,for them.

Working in Merseyside with a decent guy who's a big Everton fan who says they are going to buy Barry in January and also then they want to loan Rodwell from us for the rest of the season. Seems plausible to me, maybe we should loan Coleman from them as cover for RB?

Is that why he wasn't on the bench again today?

BBC live text was trying to peddle Rodders sold for £7m and trying to suggest the Rags would buy him from us.

Idiots, if Everton want Barry and Rodwell then we should get Coleman and first option on Barkley.

Have the BBC been smoking the wacky baccy this Christmas? No way we will sell Rodwell this season, especially directly to a rival.

If we bought a mid in January I wouldn't mind loaning him. Didn't even make the bench today and we know he's fit. He won't improve just playing the odd cup game.

Rodwell + Barry for Barkley could be a good deal.

According to the times we were willing to loan him out if we got Fernando.

Edit:

Jack Rodwell’s future at Manchester City has been thrown into doubt after it emerged that Manuel Pellegrini was ready to allow the England midfielder to return to Everton on loan, only for the proposed deal to be scrapped after City failed in their attempt to sign Fernando from Porto.
A complex double deal in which Gareth Barry would have joined Everton permanently, with Rodwell going back to his former club on loan until the end of the season, was set up on transfer deadline day, with City planning to bolster their midfield with Fernando.
Roberto Martínez, an admirer of Rodwell, wanted to take advantage of the 22-year-old’s lack of regular first-team football at City and lined him up for a return to Everton 18 months after he moved to City in a £13 million deal.
Premier League rules prevent a club loaning two players from the same side and, to free up space for Rodwell, Everton were ready to pay £1 million to turn Barry’s temporary switch from City into a permanent deal.
Negotiations took place between the clubs and, at one stage, Everton were hopeful that they would come to fruition, but the proposed deal was called off when City were forced to curtail their interest in Fernando and Eliaquim Mangala, his Porto team-mate, because of a prohibitive £40 million asking price for the pair. While Barry’s future at Everton now seems assured, with his transfer set to go ahead at the end of the season when his City contract expires and he becomes a free agent, Rodwell finds himself in limbo, the likelihood being that he will be made available for a permanent move in the summer.
Since moving to City, Rodwell’s progress has been stalled by a succession of hamstring injuries and he is viewed as a squad player by Pellegrini.
Martínez had wanted Rodwell to bolster his midfield options in the short term, given Darron Gibson’s long-term absence with knee ligament damage that increases the load on Barry and James McCarthy.
Having missed out on Rodwell, the Everton manager decided to keep his powder dry in the transfer market, preferring to keep the remaining funds available to him until the summer after signing Aiden McGeady for £500,000, Jindrich Stanek, the Czech goalkeeper, for a fee that could eventually rise to £1 million and Lacina Traoré on loan.
“The summer window is different to the January window,” Martínez said. “The January window is a gamble. That means you can go for players no one expects to be available or, if your season has not been good enough, you change things around. We have done incredible to bring Aiden McGeady and Lacina Traoré to us. We don’t need to gamble.”

we should have got rid somehow, either permanent or loan. His career at city is just not happening, especially now Pellegrini rates Demichelis as a better midfielder than him.

Shame it didn't go through. Getting £1m for Barry is better than nothing and Rodwell needs the games
