3) Jack Rodwell
Rodwell had a hugely promising start to his career, coming through the ranks at Everton and looking like he was destined for future greatness. He was lured from the blue side of Liverpool to the blue side of Manchester however, and after his £12m move it was all downhill from there. Making just 16 appearances in two years, Rodwell’s career was stagnating. Sunderland could be a great place to revive his career, with Poyet looking like having more faith in the 23-year-old than any of his previous managers.
