big rumours hes Utd bound in Jan or a first refusal on him.
Whichever version you believe, were all over him.

Ive never seen him live, but hes 17, 6 foot 2 and a box to box animal

Everton are in a financial mess so a reasonable bid should be accepted.
Great thing is were hoovering up the great young English hopes and incredible talents but are we signing too many?
If we get him well have Cleverley, Anderson, Morrison, Pogba, Tunnecliffe (sp)Daehli..( 16, claimed to be a cross of Xavi and Messi... I thought that was Iniesta lol)

point is, they all play in midfield but instead of progressing naturally, will they feel the pressure to not make a mistake? Will it help or hinder them?

saw him play vs QPR...he was the best player on the pitch for both teams in a game Everton lost 1-0

we have a good history of buying Everton youths

Still waiting for Rodwell to make that move to United that was a lock a couple of years ago when he was bound for stardom. Barkley still has miles to go to besides a nice match against QPR to be considered a "beast" in my opinion.

Its not just judged on the QPR game ffs
Hes an open secret like Rooney and Wilshere were, and how Pogba and Morrison are.
Rodwell just needs to get a run of games together and stay injury free. Its hard to judge box to box players at a young age... Inconsistency and lack of tactical awareness exposes them to scrutiny

Making mistakes at a young age is natural, it's how they bounce back from it mentally which is what will tell us if they can play for a big club like United. I'm gonna be honest and say I don't know who this player is, but if he is the latest wonderkid, then United will be the perfect club for his talent to develop and shine.

We'll give him one or 2 seasons in the reserves, then loan him out to either a Championship or a mid table to lwer table prem team. He will come back ready just like how cleverely and welbeck have.

Will be another addition to our young English set up we have going on atm.

I've only seen him on MOTD and that's not enough. We really have a lot of talent, and I say we only buy him if he is too good to not have like Jones was.

If we do buy him, I say loan him back straight to Everton.

its weird hes one of the players i bought for united on football manager a year ago and i had never heard of him. must admit i have only seen him on highlight shows but he looks like he has potential, what the hell has happened to rodwell?
