Definitely don't want another Bily. Someone good enough to make the first team straight away e.g. Donovan, and a young-player would be decent enough for me.

What does that have to do with anything?

Wish I could glance back at that Rodwell thread where I was lambasted for considering selling him a year or two ago to United when interest was reportedly high, and the fee may have been 60-70% higher than the one we receive now.
He is our best young player so it sends a terrible message, as was the case with Jeffers, Rooney and the like. For Rodwell I do feel this is a great opportunity, city are light in the middle and a couple of midfielders look likely to be moved on too. Could blossom alongside Yaya and behind Silva and co.
How much of this fee will be reinvested, if any? Your guess is as good as mine. The team definitely needs strengthening before the window shuts.

These have been satisfied with other money.....This transfer money will not be paid until he has had his medical today. The mortgages have possibly been paid from Sky Money perhaps ??? It certainly has nothing to do with todays transfer activity

Not happy with this, and not happy with so called Blues attitude towards a massive blue.
We will regret selling Rodwell.
In 2 years time, when he has 20 England caps, few medals, and loads of football undfer his belt, he will be one of the best in the country, and those cheering now, will be crying about how we have been "screwed" and how Rodders fecked us off !!!

How anyone can be upset by this is beyond me?
The lad is one of the most overrated players ever to wear the blue shirt.
How can people say he's got potential? He's been at Everton for four years. If he was ever going to be a top player you would see it a lot more than about the four times in those four years were he's had good games.
He plays like a lost little boy half the time, hiding whenever a pass is on and going sideways.
As someone once said about him "Too much Birkdale, not enough Kirkdale", which is absolutely spot on IMO.

agreed, at least some of us knew it was going to be an out because of foxy, thanks again to the fox.
would it have been so hard for everton to have said no, raise it to 18-19 mill, look at jordan henderson. i mean they paid us 24 million for lescott, would it have been too bad for us to have said well we rated jack higher than we did joleon. obviously for all i know maybe city only wanted to pay 8 mill and we haggled it up to the 15ish mark
ha, good joke toffeejack, good joke
