Not started a league game for 348 days, according to the bbc.

Doesn't sound like the club sold him down the River. He was getting paid £70k per week to train!! Anyway, as i said, i'll give him a chance when he pulls on the shirt but surely you can see why i would be somewhat skeptical of his arrival?

Its based on Sunderland fans views. Much like Rovers fans hold Steve K**n in the same regard as something that falls out of your dogs arse but the media was quite happy to paint him as the victim and sympathise with him to the very end. I'm not writing Rodwell off but his previous at Sunderland isn't painting him in a good light for me but i'll give him a chance when he pulls on the shirt. His only saving grace is that Mogga is our manager and i don't believe he would bring a player like him in unless he knew he was going to work hard to turn his career around.

It’s fair to say that Sunderland fans hold this lad in the absolute lowest regard possible. One even wrote he was “The single worst piece of transfer business in Sunderland’s history” Mogga always talks about getting the right type of player but this guy sounds like the total opposite. Seems a bit desperate but we’ll have to see how he gets on. If you told me at the start of the summer we would sign Rodwell, I’d be pissed off.

This is a bit more encouraging at least. ws he playing Centre mid or centre back? Everyone seems to be pegging him as a cb now, I never known him to play there. I’ll ll give him a chance but he’s got it all to do as far as I am concerned.

I was wondering the same thing We need to get him on the pitch first. He'll need a few months to get match fit and he'll pick up plenty of injuries on route. Doubt he'd make the bench before Xmas.

Makes signing him even more pointless. Finances are tight and we can't keep filling the squad with freeloaders who will contribute jack sh*t. Caddis and Whitts are already taking up wages for nothing.

I get what you're saying but if we are signing Rodwell with the aim of converting him into a centre back, i'd be even more disappointed in his signing. Why not just sign a centre back instead of this utter wastrel?

Mogga's comments sound like Rodwell is a done deal and knowing the fans will be unimpressed has tried to temper the disappointment by saying he'll be cheap and we need to give him a chance. I doubt he'll make anymore than a handful of sub apps for us. Fitness and an abysmal attitude will see to that.

Ended 2-2 can’t complain after being 2 down but we should complain about going 2 down at home to Reading. Great fight and spirit though.

Mulgrew!!!!!!!!

Samuel on for Smallwood

Indeed. Sam Hart is on the bench ?

Just got in. Seen the score. WTF is going on?!?!

Villa trying to Hijack the Bolasie deal.

Looks like you can watch this game via the ifollow app with a one off £10 payment.

For anyone with Amazon prime watch All or Nothing Man City. Just watched the first episode. A great insight into football and how Pep works. Onto episode 2....

R.I.P Uncle Jack

I thought we signed him for over a million? but then again my memory is terrible, as has already been demonstrated today

Unsure on Marshall, seem to remember he was sold for a small fee. Duffy, yeah we will have made some cash, £2.5million maybe. And Rhodes as BDS mentions. So we've signed a few more than i thought who we sold for a profit.

We can't have bought many players under Venkys who were sold for a profit? Cairney, is the first one i can think of but Venkys still screwed that one up as he went for the square root of F**k all. Rudy maybe another, can't remember the figures involved.

But he’d always be 2 yards away from whatever needed cleaning ??‍♂️

Forest looking for £12m?!?! Insane. Surely he'd be starting for Forest if he was worth that much?

If Samuel or Nuttall are going to get a goal, tonight’s probably the night to do it!

5-1! Would you believe it.
