Sunderland made a lot of mistakes in the past few years - an awful lot - but spending £10m on Rodwell in 2014, and giving him a five-year deal, worth around £3.6m-a-year, must be near the top of their extremely long list of blunders.
The situation has become so farcical that Black Cats manager Chris Coleman has admitted that he doesn't even know where Rodwell is. The former Wales manager told reporters on Thursday that the 27-year-old midfielder won't be involved in Sunderland's game against Fulham this weekend. Coleman clarified later in the press conference that he knows where Rodwell is physically but rather isn't sure where the player is mentally.

It feels like a very long time ago when Rodwell was one of the brightest talents in English football, and Coleman was Wales manager as the country reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
