Hot Rod to drive into the sunset?

Breaking news on the street is that Man U are going to be putting a bid in over the summer for Jack Rodwell. We have all heard the rumours before as Old Red Nose obviously likes the look of him to revitalise his ageing midfield but seems he will actually be going for it this time. It could all be the usual rubbish of course but I get the feeling this has more than a hint of truth to it and has been on the cards a long time. Some sources even claim the deal is done and will just be announced in the summer when the window re-opens?

To be honest me and my mates agree it's not the end of the world if the boy goes as long as get good money for him (i.e at least £25 million and upfront cash , none of this drip payment bollocks) and Moyes is given the money to spend on new players. If this happens it will benefit the team and club overall and allow us to push on next season a la the Rooney money. Rodwell is nowhere near as good as Shrek was then and to me looks like he'll end up a good player but certainly not as special as all the hype would have you believe at the min. Otherwise he would be running the show for us now he's played more this season and he ain't really has he?

Although maybe Jack should take a warning from everyones favourite granny nobbler and how his move to supposedly bigger and better pastures worked out. yeah he scores more goals now and has a few more medals but has he developed into the Messi like talent he had started to show at Everton? The answer is no - he never goes past ppl anymore or takes ppl on like he used to with us. His development as a player has actually gone backwards as he is simply not as exciting or unpredictable as he was when he bestrode Goodison Park
