If heitinga and jelavic do go we need to replace at least 4 as rm said we need to replace Kone & Gibson. I would like to see Rodwell back at goodison I think he would flourish under Roberto and can play cb or cm. I think we need the 4 players if we are going to push for champs league. I have faith in whoever rm brings in. And would not be surprised if we make Barry permanent in January. And if so would thus allow lescott to come on loan?

he is always injured, has been at fault for a city goal nearly every time he has been on the pitch and is a useless and headless chicken, people said jelavic, heitinga and osman would all greatly improve and flourish under rm, haven't seen that, we got 12m for him somehow and don't want him back

Agree with Mike.

12 million, not sure who managed to sort that but well done. Never saw him change a game except when he got sent off against Liverpool. Unfortunately the change went the wrong way for us. Not to be too harsh on the lad, it wasn't a red card.

I suppose it's all about opinions really if everyone liked the same players it would be dull certain managers believe in certain players and I suppose us supporters are no different.

Rodwell would be a cracking player if he stayed fit but I think he's heading same way as James Vaughan

I wouldn't mind it, to be honest, as long as its for a fraction of the price we got for him (which was a miracle). He certainly has a long way to go to cut it at a top club, but he has a very well rounded game, without any glaring weaknesses, and could really flourish under the right leadership. I remember hearing that his preference was actually centre back, not centre mid, so perhaps he could actually fit our system as a [comparatively] very technically able centre back, just needs to get better at defending, first!

He's out injured with another hamstring injury so I doubt we'd go there this month plus I don't think he'd be any more than a squad player under Roberto.

If we were to return for Rodwell, I would like rm to bread him as our new comfortable passing centre back to replace distain when he eventually retires. Rodwell certainly has the ability to play a simple pass as he has shown on previous performances for both us and city, he just isn't creative enough to play as the box to box midfielder moyes tried to bread him into. Stick him in our reserves for a few months with alcaraz / stones playing alongside him and I think he'd be ready for the step up with stones in a year or 2 time.
