Back in full training. Sounds pretty confident this time according to interview on OS. Let's see how he goes.

Hope he gets some game time soon. I know he made a couple of mistakes when he first played for us, but I reckon he is a real talent. Maybe replace yaya if barry and garcia need a rest. :o

He'll turn out to be a good un and you will look back on this topic with a smile and a little embarrassment one day.......maybe.


Great game from him on Sunday. Nothing beats watching a match live to get a true understanding of a players performance be it good or bad. Rodwell was pretty damn good IMO. If he had stayed on he would have been close to motm. Mancini was right to bring him off. He hadn't played above about 30 mins prior. As he tired he would have been more susceptible to another injury (if that's possible) plus he was on a booking and if he started to tire could have made a mistimed tackle and been off.

I have no reason to change my previous opinion. :-)

My opinion of him changed after Sunday, he was bloody good and I'm wondering if Mancini is giving him a form of Yaya type plan b. Lots of late runs into the box to get his head on stuff

yep...where we have missed de jong, for the rest of the season, if rodwell plays like that, it may just give us the scope to play like we finished last time ..could be that spark.
garcia is a decent player, but i just don't think he has got the pace of the prem yet..at all..
But rodwell on that form, to release yaya further ahead, seems good to me...
probs should have had a goal too...

Had a good game on Sunday and I imagine he feels he owes us a bit after his oppo assists early doors (I am not having a go at him about it, these things happen in a new team).
Good to see us get Nasri on the bench and move Yaya up the pitch - both players in their best positions

Jack Rodwell warns English youngsters over joining Man City

Midfielder Jack Rodwell has warned young English players to think twice before signing for Manchester City.

The 23-year-old joined Sunderland in a £10m deal on Tuesday after playing only 26 games in two seasons at Etihad Stadium.

"I would weigh up your options and ask yourself if you want to be playing regularly," Rodwell said.

"I would ­probably say, 'don't sign now; get as much football as you can'."

He added: "The first thing I'd ask is, 'how good are you?' You just never know - you could go there, do really well and be winning league titles and everything.

"But just because you're English and young, it doesn't mean you're not going to play for Manchester City."
City's young English signings

Jack Rodwell: signed from Everton in 2012 aged 21 for £12m, played 26 games, scoring twice. Sold to Sunderland 2014 for £10m.

Scott Sinclair: signed from Swansea in 2012 aged 23 for £8m, played 14 without scoring. Spent last season on-loan at West Brom.

Adam Johnson: signed from Middlesbrough aged 22 in 2010 for an undisclosed fee, played 97, scored 15. Sold to Sunderland 2012 for £10m.

Rodwell, who spent five years at Everton before joining City for £12m in 2012, says a lack of regular first-team football cost him a place in England's World Cup squad in Brazil this summer.

"If I'd been playing regularly for the last two years, I probably would have been there," he said.

Despite struggling with a hamstring injury since moving to City, Rodwell has dismissed the suggestion that he is injury prone.

"Last season, over the course of the whole season, I was injured for about three weeks. I was fit and available for 47 of the 57 games.

"That might surprise quite a lot of people because they probably didn't see my name on the team sheet and just assumed I must be injured.

"I've been fit for a year-and-a-half now. I'm just ready to go."


So there you have it, its not normal to play more than three games in a row apparently!
