No way, he didn't make any difference to the squad when he was here, he was just a body to fill a shirt.

His 3 claims to Everton fame will be;

Wrongly sent off in the Derby
Went to City
Will always be in anybodys top five for unfulfilled potential.

I don't think City will end up regretting the decision to buy Rodwell. In this era of non-athletic midfielders that cover barely any ground even the most limited holding player costs a fortune, so they haven't done too badly to get him for £12m.

They must be gutted that Michael Johnson didn't have an attitude like Rodwell's.

it was actually 17m
 
Pity Moyes didn't suspect Rowdell's pillow, could made his Everton career longer.

From The Mirror:

Jack Rodwell has revealed he has doubled his daily workload in a bid to beat his injury jinx.

England midfielder Rodwell joined Manchester City from Everton for £12million last summer, but has spent much of the season injured.

Rodwell, who has made just two starts for City, has changed his lifestyle to overcome his hamstring problems, including moving closer to the training ground so he has a shorter drive each day.

He also ditched a sports car in favour of a 4x4 vehicle to ease pressure on his back, took up yoga and also changed to a different PILLOW in a bid to end his injury misery.

And now the 21-year-old has revealed he is doing an extra hour-and-half's work every day to build up his core strength and overcome his fitness problems once and for all.

Rodwell, who played the final half-hour of Sunday's FA Cup win over Leeds, said: "I've been working really hard, keeping up my work and feeling as fit as ever.

"My main aim now is to stay fit. That's been my main problem for the last year or so, an inability to stay fit and shrug off little injuries.

"That's held me back, and I think if I can stay fit, the games will come.

"You have to rule out everything, and then nothing can be a problem. I think it's worked, but it's more to do with the gym work I've been doing with City.

"The physios have highlighted that and done a really good job. I've stuck to a six- or seven-week programme where I haven't had a day off.

"I've hammered the work, done a lot of hamstring work and luckily, touch wood, it's worked. I intend to keep that up for the rest of my career and hopefully I'll stay fit and strong.

"I come in early every day, have a load of treatment and then for half an hour before training I work on my own.

"Then after training, if necessary, I stay for some more strength work, so all in all I probably do an extra hour-and-a-half.

"One day it will be hamstring, another the back, or core fitness, to keep everything strong.

"I do yoga as well, two or three times a week, depending on how my body is feeling. Everything is helping.

"It may be down to the way I was growing, as I was only 20 to 21, and hopefully I have finished growing and it has all finished now and I can just move forward."

Rodwell

Did anyone see yesterdays City vs Chelsea match? Jack Rodwell looked like the player we all thought he was going to be.

It probably won't last but good to see the lad performing well.
 
If I'm being completely honest about Jack, he does the easy thing wel and that's about it for me. He's a neat and tidy footballer but hasn't got that additional spark to change a game.

I'd take Barkleys potential over him anyday.
 

Started again for City... and now he's going off injured 21 and a bit minutes into the match. He looks distraught.
