Where does Jack fit in?

[Lien]

For arguably the first time in my 20 years of being on this here planet, I look at our midfield and feel quite smug about it. We have a smashing group of players to choose from, but I can't help think: where does Rodwell fit into this all?

I haven't been on GOT much the past few months but I can only assume the general consensus is one of Fellaini and Arteta in the middle. Where does one of our (and England's) most promising central midfielders in years come into the equation?

In between me and Diego Forlán.

I think short term he won't get his chance until Neville is dropped, unless we have injury or rotation.

He is strong going forward, but I see him as a long term partner for Fellaini.

Something like this:

......... Fellaini ................ Rodwell ........

.................... playmaker ....................

Right mid .................................. Left mid

At the moment we have Pienaar, Arteta, and Bily for the 3 positions, with Cahill an option for a different formation. All depends if we play one or two strikers.

In FIFA 10, I was winning by a lot and Cahill was getting tired so I decided to sub Rodwell in for Cahill. What resulted was a hattrick in 5 min. It was a video game like, but he looked a natural in that position.

 

[bluebastardo]

If he scored that super Australian goal against a top 4 side his value would have set daily papers alight.

 

[Summerskin]

He'll fit in where he's told, unlike Gosling the blert!


In all seriousness though, plonk him in the centre somewhere and let him roam, pick up balls, pass, shoot, like how Lampard will do for Chelski.

 

[EFCTim Cahill]

In my opinion Rodwell doesn't fit in as a regular starter YET because I still believe Fellaini is probably the best player in his position, Arteta and Cahill the same, but Jack is a very useful replacement for any of them if they get an injury and he is also a great impact player and while some might argue he's got more about him then Cahill, I think Cahill has got qualities that hardly any player in the world has and he is vital to Everton if we are to have a breakthrough season

The inbetween me and Forlan answer nailed it.

 

[Tezzy Tez]

It's a squad game these days, you need more than 11 great players to be successful.
Jack right now will be a quality impact player and a quality player to bring in when needed throughout the season.
He won't be a first choice just yet but he'll be the main man very soon, just needs to pay his dues like all young players should.

Great minds.

But I'm first!

 

[chicoazul]

Pah. But I'll takes slops.

I do it on FM10, and he's ace.

Fine. You can have Jack. Me and Diego are taking our business elsewhere.

 

[Cena]

Play him in an attacking midfield role and give him license to get forward. I think he could be a great attacking midfielder, but he will be amazing werever he plays

Hey I called Rodders way before the two of you. He's mine!!! Ask Helen.
