Jack Rodwell Free

Post by Colburn_Claret » Wed Jun 02, 2021 11:26 am

Only joking, I wouldn't put him in our U15s.

Post really about how life is unpredictable, and what sort of demons was/is he carrying to fall off a cliff like that.

Since appearing for Everton at a very young age he's played

Everton played 85 in 5 years
Citeh played 16 in 2
Sun'land played 67 in 4, some in league 1
Bastards played 21 in 1
Sabbatical 1 year
Sheff U played 1 in 1


Collected 3 full England caps as well, God knows how.
Still only 30 which isn't old by today's standards, yet released yet again.
It might be of his own doing, but I can't help feel sorry for him

Was an excellent prospect but injury has ruined his career. He’s made plenty of cash though.

Made a fortune at Sunderland, even in league 1.
Bizarre that he was never picked, despite apparently being fit.

Looked a real prospect at Everton.

Nothing to feel sorry about for him, he's loaded and some club will try their luck with him, same way that belm Ravel keeps finding clubs.

With all thats gone on and is going on in the world, I must admit feeling sorry for Jack Rodwell hasn't particularly crossed my mind.

He shat on Sunderland big time
They offered him a large payoff yet he chose to stay and take a wage while not playing
Absolutely no shame.He knew the club was near bankruptcy but held out for his wages while others took pay cuts

He sold his career for cash, cash he'd have likely have made anyway in the long term if he made correct choices.

He was honouring the contract they signed him on. It was their choice not to play him.

Also their choice to not have relegation clauses in their contracts and why they were still paying him silly money in league 1 :lol:

I disagree, I think going to Man City and never playing ruined his career. Didn’t do his bank balance any harm though!

So would I. He was a good player in his day.

Think wilder had a few brain farts going on towards the end, the transition from 1 brilliant season to the last 1 just gone was bizarre.

I'll let him know the next time I see him. I'm guessing SHP has let him know already.

First season he had Henderson in the nets with a good defence in front of him and plenty of goals from midfield.
This time they had Ramsdale in the nets with a banged up defence in front of him and hardly any goals from anywhere. Shame for them but it kept us up.

Wrong hemisphere with that one.

He randomly ended up at Western Sydney Wanderers, made 14 appearances, scoring 3 goals and has now joined Sydney FC.
