Varney will be a good signing for Leeds sadly, he's got decent decent pace and puts in a real shift every time. Just not a great finisher but stick him on the wing and he'll be decent for them. Aluko is a bit of an enigma to me, he's meant to be very tricky from the little I've seen of him but those players tend to be so hot and cold he could well flop.

Thank fuck Renoylds has gone, horrible in league 1.

 

[Crayo]

Looks like United might miss out on Lucas and RVP -.-

 

[seabs]

Lucas is already a PSG player isn't he? Where is RVP off to? I thought you were nailed on lol. Finally what do you think about some of the shares being floated on the market and why is some of it going to the Glazers rather than the club ?

Thank F*** Renoylds has gone, horrible in league 1.

And now Aberdeen are plagued with him :win:

Re: RE: Summer Transfer Window - News

And now Aberdeen are plagued with him :win:

He apparently did OK last season there but god he was hideous with us, always caught out of position at FB. I guess the SPL just fits him better.

So polite, the SPL is just completely shit compared to the 3rd tier of English football is probably why lol

Yeah he is, PSG spent I think £46m on him or something. That's incredible for a 19 year old who didn't really light up Liga Du Brasil. Don't get me wrong Lucas is awesome but you're buying potential for £46m...

RVP wants to coem to United apparently, he wants Rooney's wages which we agreed tol (again, apparently), and wants a club with history which we have, but Arsenal are basically ignoring us. Fergie is bemused by it, but Arsenal simply want to give him to anyone but us but only us seem to be there to get him. As for the stock market, I'm good that we're going public but I expected Glazers taking some, it's Glazers, every Man United fans want to shank them. The faster they leave United the better.

Manchester City have agreed to sign midfielder Jack Rodwell from Everton for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old will undergo a medical with the Premier League champions on Sunday and is valued at about £15m.

We need someone who wants to win, is good tactically and is a good player for the future

Mancini on Rodwell

Injured midfielder Gareth Barry is sidelined, while doubts remain over Nigel de Jong's future.

"He is a good, young player. It will be the first time he is at a club that plays to win - it will be different for him," City boss Roberto Mancini said.

"I am sure that in a couple of years he will be a top, strong midfielder because he has good quality.

"We are looking for other players, I don't know which players. I don't want to say, speak to [City's chief football operations officer] Brian Marwood. I am waiting and tomorrow we will have time to talk about new players."

It is thought the overall package for Rodwell, named by Roy Hodgson in the England squad to play Italy on Wednesday, could reach nearer to £20m because of a number of performance-related add-on clauses in the transfer contract.

On Friday, Mancini said he was "not happy" about the club's lack of new signings this summer.

Rodwell is Manchester City's only high-profile new arrival this summer, although the club have been linked with transfers for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie and Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger.

He will add depth to a City midfield department without England international Barry, who has a hip problem, while De Jong is stalling over a new deal. The 27-year-old is in the final year of his contract and has attracted interest from Bayern Munich.

Rodwell rose through Everton's youth system after joining the Premier League club at the age of seven.

He represented England at four junior levels before making his senior debut in the friendly win over Spain in November 2011, replacing Phil Jones as a 56th-minute substitute.

Three days later, Rodwell started his first full international, playing 58 minutes against Sweden before being replaced by James Milner.

A big move here for City, the kids got a huge ceiling but has had problems with injuries over the past season. I can see him being the long term successor to Barry but in the short term I'm unsure if it's the correct move.

 

[Crayo]

Saw that today, pretty gutted as we were apparently nailed on for the lad. Though, he's never really stood out for me so far. He's one of those maybes for the future, but I'm not overly disappointed.

Been a City fan I'm happy with the signing of Jack Rodwell as Seabs pointed out he's most likely the long term successor for Gareth Barry. I've been a fan of Rodwell for the last couple of seasons, and I'm quite surprised Man U didn't snap him up a season or two ago when they were really interested. I think Rodwell has massive potential if he can keep fit. I'm sure if he puts his head down and works hard on the training pitch he'll get what he deserves. Hopefully we can add a couple more signings in the next week or so. As I believe we need another Centre-Half.
