Everton may sell Man Utd target Rodwell to fund squad rebuild

Everton face the prospect of selling Jack Rodwell in order to rebuild their flagging team.
The Mirror says manager David Moyes does not want to sell the teenage midfield prodigy, but with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid interested in the 19-year-old's immense potential, Rodwell could command a fee well in excess of £20million - just as Wayne Rooney did when he left Goodison.
And while Rodwell has rich promise, he is not yet remotely central to the operation of the Everton team, in the way Marouane Fellaini is.
Indeed, Rodwell is still a peripheral player who has yet to prove he will fulfil his massive talent.
Selling him would be devastating, but only to the psychology of the club, not the function of the team.
Indeed, it would raise the funds to take Everton forward - as Rooney's sale to Manchester United did six years ago.
