Do you think he would be a poor hire for us, mate?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-city-join-chelsea-in-chase-1647208 Anyone heard about this? A City ITK is saying the same.

From Redcafe. So Carrick is a good player whose confidence is now shattered because the mediocre Fellaini raped him. YCMIU

Must thank you lot again. Moyes has my respect, his players fight equally hard against all the top flight. Not like Spuds where they bend over for rags. Fellaini, what a colossus. I'm envious. No one can argue that he's anything short of world class.

Please take points from the rags. Good luck.

To be honest I spent half the game agonising over Aguero and noticing much else. For myself, I'm going to give him a whole season before singing his praises or writing him off. Nasri was a total passenger for the first half of last season. Some of our best players had absolute shockers today.

Thought he did well except for the awful mistake. He is much more mobile compared to Barry, and he seems pretty mature at recognising where the risk is and covering the danger. Strong player. His passing is roughly equal to Barry's. On the whole most City fans are pleased excepting the errant...

Did not realise how intelligent Rodwell is. He sounds just like Vincent Kompany when he joined, a soft-spoken high IQ type who has injury problems in his youth. Well, hopefully we can get a glimpse today if Hodgson will give him some minutes against Italy. De Jong looks destined for Inter, so...

He only has to beat out Gareth Barry for a spot, who is 32 and coming off surgery. And Milner. I'm mystified why people believe spots in our midfield are unattainable. He won't be competing against Silva or Aguero for a DM spot.

Here is the video interview if anyone is interested. Said negotiations had been going on for weeks and he kept quiet. Thanks Everton for his time. Comes across as a nice lad. http://mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Interviews/2012/August/Rodwell-exclusive-interview

lol apologies, I'm reading BBC twitter and our official page at the same time.

It's official, 5 year contract fee of 12m rising to potentially 17m http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2012/August/Jack-Rodwell-signs-for-Manchester-City

Is he really that bad at defending? I got the impression watching him mark Silva out of the game that he's a clever player, he seems to anticipate movement well and get in good positions.

Depends what centre back means in a 3-5-2. No one except him really knows how he plans to use this formation, Rodwell could be intended as a more attacking sweeper type.

Meh honestly don't get wound up by what Mancini says. He talks frankly to the media like you talk with your mate in a pub. "We can't win the league" "Mario is for sale" "Tevez will never play again" He does not guard his tongue and just speaks openly about how he feels at any given moment...

Rodwell won't make the bench for the big games, but he will get plenty of chances against the smaller sides. People overestimate our midfield. It has Yaya who is brilliant, but everyone else is limited. Barry is old and limited, De Jong extremely limited. If he stepped in for Barry tomorrow...

Can Rodwell fill in at CB, or does he only play CM? Recall him being a victim of Suarez's cheating, but haven't seen him properly for years.

True enough. I guess I'm looking for some hope he won't turn out like Milner. He's too young to be buried that deep in a squad.

Don't get to see Rodwell much. Did we just get taken to the cleaners for £15m, or is there hope he could start at City? :unsure:

Depends what happens in the transfer window. It is wide open. If United get RVP, it's uncomfortably wide open. Not to mention Chelsea, they're a wild card with so many new faces. Arsenal have improved but Wenger never seems able to instill that defensive discipline needed to win it, not to...
