Everyone who agreed to sign him should tender their resignation immediately.
Unless heās a marqueeā¦
Iām not calling for him to go. Iām too invested in this exercise now.
Iām actually surprised he has played that many minutes so far. Iād have guessed way lower than that. Maybe Iāve just assumed he is always crooked
If you have low expectations, you can never be disappointed
Stick the bloke on a long term injury list, let insurance pay him out, bring in another overseas CB thatās not injury prone.
But weāre making the finals now, so he might have an extra few matches to get the remaining 616 minutes in
Iām loving the press conference Jack Rodwell question meme after every game.
Corica always, ā1 week or twoā 
Heāll score the winning header in the Grand Final and earn himself another 2 years.
āSo Steve, when do you expect Rodwell back?ā
awkward silence
āEr, who?ā
āJack Rodwell. Your English Center-Backā¦ā
confused frown
āIām sorry, going to need a little moreā¦ā
āRodwell, you know, the injury prone Center Back you signed from the Wanderers thatās barely seen any game time this seasonā
Shakes head adamantly
āNope, sorry. Itās not ringing a bellā
āOh, come on Steve. 6"2, ruggedly good looking. Played Premier League with Everton, Manchester City and had a Saga at Sunderland, speaks wif a bit a funnie accent ehā
Shrugs non-committedly
āI do not know of anyone at this club by that nameā
Robbie Stanton leans in and whispers something in Coricas ear
"Oh, Jack Rodwell chortles heartedly āI thought he was just a member of the cleaning crew around the training groundsā.
Squadās in, Rodās out.
Fishing trip?
Match Day 16 update:
The overall season target
828 minutes in 26 match days: just under 32 minutes per week
The story so far (to Round 16):
212 minutes in 16 matches: 13 and a quarter minutes per week playedThe target:
616 minutes to go in 10 matches: 61 minutes per week needed
Status: ATTAINABLE but DIFFICULT.
Fun fact 1: To reach the target, heāll need to spend just under twice as many minutes on the pitch per week in these remaining games, as was the case at seasonās start.
Fun fact 2: If we give him all of his next (contracted) season to hit that 828, heāll need to play just over 17 minutes per week over 36 games - which would still be more than heās averaged so far 
Fun fact 3: I need to get back to work
Do finals count? I maintain he is being held back to be unleashed in the finals to lead us to glory in our home grand final (after finishing fifth)
To be honest, when I started the thread, finals didnāt look like a problem we were going to have.
Iād prefer to keep it like for like, but we can look at an extension if and when we are in that situation.
He was on the training pitch in the 10 news segment yesterday. I donāt know if that makes him closer to playing or increases the risk of a new injury.
It doesnāt necessarily mean he was training. He could have gotten lost between the car park and the physio room. 
So apparently none of the injuries Rodwell has suffered with us have been recurrences of old injuries and the latest issue was a bad bout of influenza, heāll be back āsoonā
