    I know that he's not our problem any more, but I heard on talksport that he's on trial at watford - also on Sky Sports too! Christ almighty - N'Dong might not be any good but he's better than Rodwell!!

    If it's for fraud or misrepresentation he'll definitely be found guilty :emoticon-0105-wink:

    He'll probably play out of his skin for the trial and never play a game after getting a contract.

    If it rests on a successful trial period I think he's got no chance.

    He will be back in the England team in no time. I know - he told me so

    If he gets another club I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he did ok for them. The change of scenery might do him good. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if he vanished without a trace either.

    Have to say I agree. Sadly. I always thought he’d be an ok player. He’s always looked awful at Sunderland so he has ability of some level. Sad thing is... if Watford offer him 20k a week we’ll probably have saved money not paying him off!!!

    I'd be amazed if Watford took him on unless it was on a pay as you play deal, which it wouldn't be.

    To think he could be playing for a premier league side is mind boggling considering a) his behaviour and b) he's not as good as Cattermole

    Can't understand it from the point of view that he was quite willing to be paid 70,000 and not playing. You want a player in your squad with that attitude....amazing. Pleased he has done something to get back on this board though.....lol

    I hope he injures himself.

    Nowt nasty or career ending. I'm not a bad person. I don't want him to fracture his pelvis or rupture a testicle but I'd ****ing love it if he broke his toe or summit.

    Actually... that ruptured bollock sounds fair.

    Whatever happens to him to put him out of the game would make me smile

    On this occasion I agree. The scumbag doesn’t deserve to steal a living from the game for a second longer. He’s a ****ing disgrace of a human being.
