Jack Rodwell

Didn't ever see it with regards from the talent tbh.

I saw it from day one with Rooney and Barkley, Rodwell was never anywhere near that level. His whole reputation was built on the back of people saying he was a brilliant player without ever actually watching him.

No mate, he had a quality of movement and a range of passing plus a fairly decent shot about him. He was quality but lazy.......

I'd say every one of our centre mids is a better passer than him now. All he did was knock it backwards and sideways.

One of the best bits of business done in football getting what we got for him.

City spend a combined £35m-ish on Lescott and Rodwell then sold them for a combined £10m. While the former was a great player that is absolute madness.

As I must have said in here about 50 times - a fantastic athlete who was technically sound but never had the heart or mentality for it. That plus being constantly injured means a case of wasted potential.

Was overplayed at an early age, think Moyes clocked that an all hence not playing Barkley et al. very much.

No bollox. Could have been a great. Had all the attributes, none of the steel required to make it at the top level.

I don't think he is fully lazy. A bit of a mixed bag. Mostly lazy though.

Suffered from being deployed in safe positions instead of bedding him down as a ball playing center halve he shouldve been.

Didnt take him long to turn into an safe shithouse of a player

Agreed. Had the odd good game but looked mostly lost, like a centre-half playing in midfield.

Was boss on FIFA...

.....safe footballer for me, generally played the way he was facing and rarely took the ball on the turn. The likes of Pienaar and Osman do this naturally and it's a great attribute to have. Rooney is another, always takes the ball on the turn, different gravy.

Classic Everton youngster... shows so much promise, decides to hit the gym and get wedge at 17, grows all out of proportion, gets injured, fecked.

Lay off the weights lads

as somebody attached to the backroom / training side said. Too much Birkdale not enough Kirkdale.

Like McFadden nobody ( including themselves ) could say what what their best position was, then or now.

12 mill - we did good
