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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He couldn't dream of being better than Busquets one day, mate.

Unless there is a breathtaking improvement in him technically I really dont think he will be better than Busquets.

Disagree with both of you.

Seen enough of Rodwell for England u21's & Everton.. As well as Barcelona to knows that with the right training & guidance he can match up to such levels are Busquets. He's got the qualities to be like him, but they need improving, as much as I rate Moyes as a manager, I don't believe he's the person to unlock that potential.

The potential is there though. Imo of course.

We know you are passionate about England and English players but come on now. that's just wishful thinking on your path imho.
