Sunderland are now odds-on to sign Jack Rodwell from Manchester City. The Black Cats have emerged as 8/13 favourites, pushing previous frontrunners Everton out to 9/2. See all Sky Betâs summer transfer odds here. I would be delighted if this happened.
Only takes about 25p to change Skybets odds. Hope this one does come off tho with us inserting some insurance clause into the deal due to his injury record

12 mins · Sunderland are hoping the arrival of Frank Lampard at Manchester City can push Jack Rodwell towards them. Manager Gus Poyet has been keen to sign the 23-year-old Rodwell all summer but faces competition from West Brom and Southampton among others. Rodwell is keen to leave City and play more regularly having played just 10 games last season.
You lot seem to have a good relationship with them lot, can see this happening as a loan initially since he's a risk at any price given his injury record. If he puts a decent season in you've got yourself a top player, Fergie was very interested in taking him to United at one point. If it's a permanent deal, with his injury record I'd be worried paying more than £5m for him until he's proven he's not just another sicknote.
Think we should try and get Rodwell/Sinclair personally Would sort out 2 positions instantly for a relatively low fee...possibly a loan and £5m
Good luck getting his dimwit **** bucket to move to Sunderland... I seen her in M&S once in town in the food hall 'on her phone' apart from the fact that no known person has ever got a single bar of signal in that concrete bunker, she looked like she'd just finished a shift as a human toilet brush in Belle Vue Greyhound track bogs. She's thick as **** obviously, that's no secret... there's a fairly decent chance she probably thinks Sunderland is in the Med.
