De Jong is probably on the way out.Where will he play? They have Y.Toure, Barry, De Jong, Milner, Silva, Nasri.

They needed to replace Hargreaves.Suppose shitty had to sign someone , things were getting desperate.
Silva and Nasri play ahead in a 3 man midfield and De Jong might be on his way out.Where will he play? They have Y.Toure, Barry, De Jong, Milner, Silva, Nasri.
ESPNSoccernetManchester City are on the verge of signing Jack Rodwell from Everton after the Toffees confirmed they have accepted an "undisclosed" offer for the midfielder, who will undergo a medical on Sunday.
If he's earning more then 30k a week i'll laugh myself silly. He's got everything to prove. He's achieved nothing. Half the time he's injured.I do wish Fergie would buy another central midfield though.
So how much do you reckon they're paying Rodwell, £125k+/week?
Much more than "half" you'll probably find.If he's earning more then 30k a week i'll laugh myself silly. He's got everything to prove. He's achieved nothing. Half the time he's injured.
Nonsense. Transfers under the Glazer regime have generally been extremely quick and efficient.City sure do their business fast eh? If it was us, this will drag till deadline day
It reminds me of when Chelsea signed Parker. No room for him, but they wanted him anyway.He was a top prospect about 2 years ago. Looks a bit of a panic buy to me. I bet he never secures a regular spot in their side.
Rodwell isn't better than De Jong by any stretch of imagination.He's good, better than De Jong and will probably be better than Barry one day but damn, the guy needed more match-time at Everton as it was. Manchester City will now stall his development or at least set him back a few years. I guess he'll be playing with better players though, winning things and making millions.
Wonder if he'll regret this at 28... for every Joleon Lescott there's an Adam Johnson.
I know, wasn't Parker's time at Chelsea lesson enough? What of Adam Johnson at his new club, a player with the talent to be mroe than he is at present if at the right club.when will these young talented players learn? Enjoy the bench.
Reportedly 15m.Anyone knows how much City paid for him?
friendlytramp has the inside scoop on these things. I'd PM him if I were you.Anyone knows how much City paid for him?
I want to know how much. He's probably only worth £10 million at the most considering what he's done but in today's market £15-25 million seems reasonable, particularly as it is City. Also wonder if we have tried to get someone on loan like Adam Johnson.
No room? They only have De Jong, Barry and Toure for the midfield spots and if De Jong does leave that's down to 2.It reminds me of when Chelsea signed Parker. No room for him, but they wanted him anyway.
Exactly, think he played very well against them in that 4-2 match. Just like Rodwell did man marking Silva.It reminds me of when Chelsea signed Parker. No room for him, but they wanted him anyway.
So why are you relieved. He wasn't coming here and he wasn't going to harm us being at Everton?Relieved to be honest. Never really rated Rodwell that highly.
This. Wouldn't have wanted us to spend £15-20m on him.Relieved to be honest. Never really rated Rodwell that highly.
A pistol shot to the head has always worked for me.Absolute nightmare. I just botched my suicide attempt. Now I've got to live with this transfer.
Fast and quietCity sure do their business fast eh? If it was us, this will drag till deadline day
He can still do it. people on here are way to quick to write off a kid who has had a hard time with injuries. Rodwell is rubbish but Cleverley is great yet he has played twice as many games in the PL and is 18 months younger. I think he will prove a good signing for City.I've always rated Rodwell, a couple of seasons ago he looks promising but lost his way a bit with injuries and lack of form. Still, if he can fulfil his potential then he'll be a good buy.
City are getting a player who I don't think will strengthen them, and we won't see the Rodwell thread in here anymore.So why are you relieved. He wasn't coming here and he wasn't going to harm us being at Everton?
I don't understand..
