I would love to see Rodwell play in a strong team. There have been moments for Everton where he has looked totally in control of the game and he's looked special. But then he's been dropped for a month after it or not played anywhere near as well.
The first time I saw Rodwell play I think he was 16 and he went up and won a header against a big, senior pro, took the loose ball and strode forward before rolling a great through ball. He's all class and is one of those players who looks like he's got so much more time than normal players and never seems flustered or under pressure.
But £25m for a guy who has never played consistently well in the Premier League?

My issues is exactly that £25m for a player who is very inconsistent seems crazy to me. I'd rather go into the european market, for the same money we could get some better options imo.
