Jack Rodwell joins Manchester City

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Think is, Jack is a centre mid.. He plays in the kind of Essien position.. Imagine it..

Rodwell

Clifford - McEachran

They'd work very well together. Jack can pass, he can shoot, he can dribble! Proof? Check this goal vs United when they drew 3-3 with Everton.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

McEachran+Sturridge+Bertrand+Rodwell - in other words 4 english players - in our team ? You're a big dreamer mate

But I gotta admit, you have good dream and I like this one

Aha thanks.. I know it's unlikely to happen. But never know.. Someone in the club's hierarchy could surprise us

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Rodwell is worth £15 million.... but add on the fact he's English and he plays for another EPL club means we'll have to part with at least £30 million. I'd love to sign him though!

Four english players, four players coming from our academy, and 6 homegrown players. Wouldn't it be great ? :eyebrows:

We'd only make 1 or 2 high profile transfers a season with that squad.. What a dream! One day.. One day

Rodwell on radar for London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham as United and City also lurk

Chelsea are ready to rival Tottenham in their interest in Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell.

Manchester City and Manchester United are also fans of the 20-year-old England Under 21 star, but are unsure about making an offer in this window.

London calling: Both Chelsea and Tottenham are interested in Jack Rodwell

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants to bring in exciting young talent alongside experienced targets such as Luka Modric.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp wants a defender who can play in midfield and Rodwell, who started at centre half, fits the bill.

Everton need money if they are to give David Moyes any semblance of a chance of breaking into the top five again next season and selling Rodwell, who is valued at £25million, represents their best chance.

Hot property: Rodwell is currently playing for England Under 21s in Denmark

Valencia have been linked with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal like Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka but Everton would want close to £20m each for their England defenders - making a deal unlikely.

Chelsea have targeted other youngsters such as Anderlecht's Romelu Lukaku, Ajax's Christian Eriksen and Kevin de Bruyne of Genk.

Spurs also still want Scott Parker and Brazilian starlet Damiao of Internacional.

typical 'all-round' English midfielder

what's his selling point? Defending , passing or shooting?

English football can produce 100 barry but they can't produce one makelele

id say united and liverpool are out with what they've spent so far, really really really want rodwell, but i cant see us making a move for him

[zolayes 14,489]

is Rodwell really so much better than Jack Cork ..Im not convinced he is.

I think he is, don't really watch much of Everton, but when they play (and frustrate) us, he has been very good. Can go forward well for a DM, good on the ball, and solid defensively.

25m for him is too much though, 15-20m maybe.

Jack is not worth more than £10 million max. English players are just overpriced and overrated. little wonder most big clubs around europe would rather look elsewhere when recruiting players.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Jack Rodwell could be better then Sergio Busquets.

We'll never realise this though, because Everton will outprice him.

[Madmax 9,219]

Err what? Better than Busquets? No chance. Busquets maybe a theatrical twat, but he's the best DM in the world atm.

Agree with lionsden, Everton will do very well indeed if they manage to dupe someone of more than 10m for this guy.

The Guardian seems to think the two Manc clubs are the frontrunners.

[Joker10 946]

Rodwell is worth 15-18 imo, i would like us to sign him.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I said could be for a specific reason.

[Blue In Green 86]

The last young English prodigy from Everton ended up being pretty good. He also ended up being an ugly twat, but that's beside the point.

Rodwell is alright, but I'd rather take a more creative and technical player.
