I think Rodwell will get plenty of gametime. He'll probably be Cahill's main backup as an AM,..... If you really think about it he'll probably be Arteta's and Fellaini's main backup too. I mean who would you rather have on any of the CM positions Osman, Captain Pip, Heitinga or Rodwell ? All of them are very good Mids in their own rights. Osman got some very good close control and he is always a goalthreat, and Pip and Heitinga are very cool and composed at DM, but Rodwell is like all of them mix together. I don't know about you all but I would rather have Rodwell. So I'm not really worried about him not getting enough playingtime.
As for Big Vic. He has been showing since the end of last season, a couple of friendlies with Nigeria, and pre season that he has improve ALOT, and I mean ALOT. We've always lacked a good RW (Pienaar and Bily feel more comfortable on the left and Osman is better at CM) but Vic has been great on that position. His size, pace and power + his new-found intelligence, awareness, and ball control has made him a nightmare for most fullbacks. IMO he should be in our starting Xl until someone else shows his better than Big Vic on the RW.
This should be our starting midfield:
-------Fellaini---Arteta-------
Vic---------Cahill-----Pienaar
With Rodzilla coming in as a sub at somepoint during the game.
