Everton FC boss David Moyes tips Jack Rodwell to emulate Tim Cahill

Jack Rodwell 300DAVID MOYES has tipped Jack Rodwell to become as potent a goal threat for Everton as Tim Cahill.The Everton boss believes that the teenager's conversion to an attacking midfielder has been so successful, he could even prove an eventual threat to the Aussie's starting place.It is no small compliment from the Goodison boss, who rates Cahill, with 57 goals in Royal Blue, as one of his greatest ever signings.But Moyes warned that for now Rodwell, who scored against Huddersfield in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, may have to bide his time. He said: 'He's probably more of a threat at the top end of the pitch where he could threaten the likes of Tim Cahill because he looks like he can run, come in from deep and score.'It's a while since we've had someone at Everton who can score from shots outside the box and I think Jack can do that as well.'He's got a smell for a goal a wee bit. He's doing well going forward, but it's been difficult to accommodate him because we've got a big selection of midfield players.'We've talked about Fellaini, and we've got Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahill. We might need to find a role for Jack, or he may have to bide his time and get through when he can.'Moyes admits he was forced to play Rodwell more than he intended to last season due to the well-documented injury crisis.
