    About time he steps his game up. Cost 10million quid, about time he starts to show why.







    ack Rodwell will have the chance to reclaim his starting spot as Sunderland prepare to take on three of the Premier League’s big-guns.

    Midfielder Rodwell was the Black Cats’ £10m star buy in the summer but after starting each of the first six league games, he has begun only one of the last six, and has found himself playing second fiddle to fellow new boy Jordi Gomez.

    Think after a long time not playing he needs to get back to grips with the speed of the league tbh

    Tbf Gomez whilst has scored he is very slow and does dawdle on the ball quite a lot

    However think that Rodwell would suit Larssons position more instead of the attacking option in a midfield 3

    Hed start against Chelsea for me up against Matic. Catts vs Fabregas could be tasty.

    Fletch was poor all last season when he missed the pre season games but he's doing OK for us now. JR could be the same. Disappointing up to now but he has youth on his side.

    He looks to be struggling for some reason, carrying an injury perhaps, or maybe he is another lemon, time will tell. He certainly is not going to take us to the next level any time soon imo.

    He needs to put himself about a hell of a lot more than he currently does

    He's wrapped himself in cotton wool

    agree with these, he is one of the best players on our books, brought in for reason, gus's plan isnt even 30% complete imo, lets see what he does next to compliment him, and others

    WMS&#8230;..you are kidding me, this lad has only ever started 25 games max in a season, flash in the pan when he was a kid. Gus has bought a pup, compliment him !! Why ? He is sh*te, I can see in 6 games why no one else wanted him. Makes Andy Carroll look consistent.

    I will eat as well if wrong, so hope you are right WMS, but 3 years in since his last good season&#8230;..I don't think he has it anymore.

    He has to step up, he has no choice. Seb is playing very well, Gomez is being handy, Giacc and Alvarez are coming back and can both offer creativity down the middle. If he doesn't step up he could find himself slipping down the pecking order very fast.

    Nobody has managed to get shot of Danny Graham, Why? Because of the Lucrative contract he's on, who our DOF did not offer him. All the more reason not to keel into the demands of Striker who has a much worse goal to games ratio than the man who we can't get rid of. Logic man.

    Fletch was injured, he's proven quality premier league. Rodwell...no idea what hes ever done that made Man city want. He was simply hyped. I'd much rather have a huddlestone or milner than a rodwell. I dont see what he offers. Hes not strong, hes not fast, hes not got great passing range. Hes just an also ran. Fear you've been sold a complete dud.
