I think alot of people are forgetting how hyped he was until the last few months. I've not been a member here for that long and when I first joined there were threads discussing if we should sell Jack for £30 million! And I'm not talking about the odd person saying he was worth those amount, but...

The one thing everyone seems to think he has lots of, which I completely disagree with is talent (obviously enough to be a Prem player, but not the levels required to be a special player) . I keep reading that he can be whatever he wants to be or that he's so talented, but just needs more...

In the current market we'd struggle to sell any of our players for decent prices. Our best younger players aren't of interest to the wealthier clubs and no one wants to pay decent money for players approaching 30. Lots of clubs are struggling to get rid of players, so there is no reason to...

If we sold Rodwell and brought in 3 players with the money, how are we going to pay their wages? The examples the thread starter gave would all be on higher wages than Rodwell.

Xavi is just under 5 years older than Iniesta. It's a bit like saying Rodwell and Rooney came through together.

My doubts are purely to do with ability. If he was an aggressive ball winning type player or showed Cahill goal scoring instincts, then I'd be less concerned. But to be world class in the position he currently plays, I think you have to show incredile technical ability. I wouldn't mind if he was...

N'Zogbia would be a great signing, but he'd be a great signing for a number of clubs, many of which will pay higher wages.

It can be said he's only 20 and will progress and move up the pecking order as older players start to decline, but the chances are that there are several players aged 16-18 that will be better than Rodwell in 3 years time. In the same way that Wilshire has progressed so quickly there will be...

Yes I'm and and Everton fan, but my boyfriend joined to ask a Spurs based question. I don't go on forums, but made the mistake of starting to read a few threads on here and then couldn't resist posting some supplies and since then have become a bit addicted. Technically I'm not joey55, I'm his...

My boyfriend is a Spurs fan, so i watched more Spurs than Everton this season. There really isn't that much difference quality between their cast offs and some of their first team. Jenas is not rated by anyone, yet he and Palacios together are easily a top 6 quality CM pairing. There isn't that...

They could easily afford to spend a fortune. They only made a £7 million loss last season and that was without selling any players or CL football. Without player trading last year they made a good profit. Player trading often scews things as it can make it seem as if a healthy business made or...

It was a good goal, but with a lucky bounce. It really wasn't that spectacular and the main reason it didn't recieve much attention was because the show largelly revolved around the relegation battle and they had a lot to fit into a short amount of time. They didn't exactly lavish praise on...

I'm glad they went down because of the whole Olympic Stadium thing. Because it became a fight between two football clubs no one seems interested in what appears to have really happened. It's totally scandalous. My boyfriend is a Spurs fan and like most of them he didn't want to move there, so...

Pitroipa and Petric would be good signings. My boyfriend (who originally opened this account joey55) is a HSV fan and he thinks Petric would be perfect in the Prem. Pirtoipa is a fast and tricky winger. Petric only has a year left on his deal, so shouldn't cost much. He's a bit old, but is very...

CahillsCornerFlag said he didn't see the tournament, not me. I've said before that i watched the tournament. But to be honest, anyone who hasn't seen the tournament could have said as much, as, like I said, i can't see how he can have been one of the best players when he played 1 full game in...

You've said this before though and whilst accept that opinions differ we should put what you are saying in perspective. He only started on game in the tournament, which was against Germany, after both teams had qualified. So only 8 of the 22 players that started the final, were chosen for that...

Gerrard played regularly in the qualifiers for the 2002 WC. He actually went to Euro 2000. But we are comapring them to a player who hasn't even had a call up. The long and the short of it is that some are suggesting a 20 year old, who hasn't even been called into a full England squad yet, is...

But the point with Milner is that he wasn't bought for his potential, he was bought for what he had become. At 20 he hadn't done much and thus wasn't valued highly. He wasn't even valued much at 23. People are saying Rodwell is worth £25 million for what he might become. So using Milner as a...

At 20 Gerrard and Lampard were England internationals. Lampard had already scored 5+ Prem league goals for 3 seasons running. Gerrard was already a regular for a Champions League club and at 20 was named Young player of the Year. He was also named PFA Fans Player of the Year and in ther FA team...

But how many players by that are woth £25 million at 22 have shown as little a Rodwell has at 20? I think there are 2 sides to this argument, those who are judging him what he does on the pitch and those who judge him on what he might do later on in his career. Personally i don't think there...
