Have it from a very good source that the Rodwell
Return is defo being negotiated, fee is around 7 million
Don't normally spread rubbish, this is from
Inside club. Don't shoot the messenger if it
Doesnt happen but it is being discussed

{Ed025's Note - I just don't see what he offers for that sort of money..

I think the potential is still there Ed, and don't forget he's sill only young still the biggest difference this time though he will be able to express himself without the fear of moyes telling him he's doing wrong all the time.

The co-op over the road is closer

He offers nothing in midfield except wasted wages on an injured player - and no one else would pay above 5m for him
The one saving grace is he could be turned into a possibly good centre back to replace distin

How's about
Coleman Stones Rodwell Baines as a back four in a couple of years time?

Please please please stop with Rodwell thing, why on earth would Martinez with a thin squad pay 7m mil 4 a player who hasn't featured at all this season and plays a handful of games because of constant injurys, this stuffs more annoying than cleverly garbage

I agree he is not my choice but if a deal can be done it will happen, we will have to hope talks break down

Just don't see RM parting with money on an injury prone player after the kone and alcaraz problems last year would see a loan deal as the only way forward to see how fit he is over a season, would be a good squad player if he can stay fit.

Rodwell was showing real promise before he got the dreaded hamstring boomerang injury. (it kept coming back). Man City believed he was worth 12 million. It is all down to his fitness. I would put him through the most vigorous fitness test ever. Assess him over a few days and then make a decision. He has not turned into a poor player overnight. He has just been blighted with injuries. Remember the goal he scored coming on as sub against Man Utd? It was real class. That shows he has the ability. It is whether his body can withstand the training and constant flow of games throughout a season.

{Ed025's Note - decidedly average for me degs..

I actually like him as a player, if we got him some new hamstrings it'd be worth it.
Can't see City agreeing to it but some deal heaviliy weighted to appearances to take into account his fitness issues would be my preference.

Hi eds and fellow posters I was just wondering if we have any interest in Spanish players and who they are or anyone in the la lugs someone I would be really keen on is Cuenca do we have interest in him? What realistic players would you guys be interested in out of that league? I for one am bored to death with these dull transfers of similar boring players Milner and colback etc I would take them both but I think we need more goals and creativity and get the squad fillers after we get the marque flair players IMO

{Ed025's Note - because of Bobby's Spanish background, and the respect he has earned from top clubs there, we are bound to be linked with some of their up and coming talent Ryan, there will be lots of names bandied around mate, but really only the boss himself will know the actual targets..

I think we will look for players of that nature, but seriously, everyone, Cuenca is rubbish.

I'd like Barry to sign permanent, try get lukaku again either loan or permanent, and thorgan hazard as a direct loan replacement for deulofeu. That carles Gil we been linked with looks tidy, and I'd love to get bony, he'd score loads for us

Mario suarez is a definite target I've heard, canalas and gil are just random rumours, let's look at cuenca ab, 2 footed, good shot, good cross and has an eye for a killer pass, he is also lazy, inconsistent, weak, not too quick for a winger and has personal problems, I agree, i'd rather get someone else

With you Swan think Mario Suarez is real target. I feel Barry played last match for us.

Exactly Swan. He's like billy. He can put in the perfect cross from the wing, but is so slow and lazy he can never get there. He couldn't even break intothe Ajax team. So many better, cheaper options.
