Still we got paid for his potential, not his current ability.

Cleverly and Wilshire did not have injuries in the season before that like Rodwell did. Both of them carried their teams (Cleverly for Wigan at the time), something Rodwell never has been.

I liked Rodwell and believed he would be superb, but when Gibson managed to contribute more to the team in 2-3 months than Rodwell had in 4 seasons I had to re-evaluate my views on him.

Debatable.

Anyway, it was pointed out that they paid less because of his injuries. I mearly pointed out that his injuries dont seem to be a concern and IMO just part of his adjustment.

And Cleverly and Wilshire have had worst injuries to come back from than Rodwell has. So his injuries shouldnt be a concern, as Platt pointed out

Boss move for him to improve.

Rancid we only got a small amount out of the boy.

It sounds like they've got him to say that he wanted the move to take the heat away from the board, as they did with Arteta. It also gives them a defence for a low price because they can say that keeping an unhappy player is bad for morale. Jong will be leaving them shortly undoubtedly.

Sounding like a bloke from the X Files...but even if the price was less than that, you'd still have fans saying it was a good deal because he was an expendable fringe player....going to the current champions of england.
 
The stuff he's been tweeting lately would see him out of a job pronto.
My guess is it was a legitimate account,prior to being hacked.:dodgy:
 
all the he will only get 6 mill rubbish . moyes will get about 10 mill out of the 12-15 mill up front (depends on which figure is correct that rodwell went for), quite a few well placed journos have already said this . lets see what he does with the money now!

We haven't really got a lot of saleable assets. If Rodwell is only worth £12m given that he's making a breakthrough with the England squad and is still so young, what is Baines or Fellaini worth? The current champions of england and richest club in the world should be paying a premium for any player on their wanted list.
 
The best passing accuracy recorded was Jack Rodwell at 87.6%; however the player who has filled his role Darron Gibson is second on 84.1%. Tellingly however, Gibson is more involved and makes 30% more passes per game than Rodwell.
 
If Rodwell stakes his claim to be in the England side while Parker and Wilshere are out injured and shows how well he can play when given the freedom to get forward at City I will fume.
