Jack Rodwell

[xavisionary]

He's got too much passion for a soulless, plastic club like CITEH. And he needs to play 50 games a season - injuries permitting - if he is to try and force his way back into the England fold.

His unwillingness to give youth a chance was supposedly one of the reasons Mancini got shown the door. With Rodwell though, as things stand he can't get into the U21 team, let alone the seniors.

I'd put him a level above the likes of McEachran and Shelvey. Not as good as Henderson and well, the sky's the limit for young Chalobah

I like Rodwell. Perfect replacement for Barry too for Man City.

Definitely needs a season of no injuries for us to discuss his potential level though. But if I was a city supporter I'd definitely keep him in the squad because he has a lot of useful assets in his locker and as we saw yesterday has a real eye for goal.

He's 22 isn't he?

So is Henderson. They don't change the cut-off point as they go along. If you're eligible when the qualifiers start then you're eligible throughout.

Of course, straight after I say all that Rodwell gets called up to the senior squad to replace Cleverley

Whilst that in itself is a joke. The bigger joke is Cleverley in an England squad to begin with.

Lay off Cleverley, cracking little player.
