Rodwell is a perpetual sick note, who's never fulfilled his early potential.
When he first broke onto the scene at Goodison he looked to have tremendous promise, but a succession of niggles and seemingly chocolate hamstrings, restricted his appearances and meant he never cemented a starting berth in the side.
He was notably described as being more Kirkdale than Kirkby, which was a reflection on his grit (or lack of it) on the pitch. For me, he's a tremedous athlete, but lacks the football intelligence needed to be a genuine top notch CM player, as he gets caught out of position and doesn't read the game that well imo.
We were largely chuffed when City handed over big bucks for him, and not surprised in the least, that it's not worked out for him.
I hope this move sees him staying fit and genuiely progressing as a PL CM, but I won't be having any money on it and I think you've massively overpaid lads, sorry.
