We've agreed a fee with Everton like the statement they read out on itv during the game, apparently, the mail says, in the region of £15 million. Although some of the twitter journos say it is closer to £12 million but heavily ladened with financial add-ons and a 'gentleman's agreement' to first refusal on any players we choose to loan over the next two seasons which might explain why Moyes was at the Etihad during the week.
IMO potentially a very good player and has the oppurtunity with Barry out, NDJ in the last year of his contract and Milner possibly being deployed at wing back. My only concern is that he has been very fragile the last 2 years, spent a lot of time in the treatment room, albeit with two completely different injuries.

Jack Rodwell became City’s first signing of the summer transfer window in 2012, coming in for an undisclosed amount on the same day as the Blues’ 3-2 Community Shield win over Chelsea. A versatile player, equally adept at playing as an attacking or defensive midfielder, the 21-year old has been touted as one of the brightest prospects in English football since first breaking through to the Everton first team at the age of 16.

One point I'd like to make is that I have read somehwre that City's 'conditioning and fitness' coaches have been praised by some medical organisation or other saying that City have had the least serious injuries of any other club in the Prem and that our players have missed less matches than any other team have had to miss due to serious injury.
Our guys will keep him fit, I'm confident in that they will get this guy conditioned properly in a month or so.
Once last comment - yet again, this name was not attached to us oir even hinted at by any of the media morons. Just the way I like it, the soonest we know is when City release it on mcfc.co.uk. Perfect IMO
