The new Black Cats midfielder says the pick of the nation’s talent should head to clubs where they will get games

Jack Rodwell has advised the best English kids not to sign for Manchester City.

The Sunderland midfielder says the pick of the nation’s talent should head to clubs where they will get games.

Rodwell has moved to the Stadium of Light for £10million after quitting City to reignite his stalled career.

Asked his advice to teenagers courted by City, Rodwell declared: “I would ­probably say don’t sign now, I’d say get as much football as you can.

"The first thing I’d ask is, ‘how good are you?’ You just never know – you could go there, do really well and be winning league titles and everything.

“But just because you’re English and young it doesn’t mean you’re not going to play for Manchester City.

“I would just say weigh up your options and ask yourself if you want to be playing regularly.”

Rodwell is the latest England star to go backwards at the champions, who face Arsenal in the Community Shield tomorrow.

Winger Adam Johnson, who also moved to Sunderland from City, was previously critical of the chances he got at the Etihad Stadium.

What, Jack ?

Re: Jack Rodwell - Avoid signing for City

Media in twisting player's words shocker.

Try being fit to play occasionally and you might have a chance

Don't read the headline, read the quotes, nothing like the headline, and I'd agree with him right now.

F**king mirror, only useful if the toilet paper runs out.

I don't see anything to get worked up about in what he's said there. Although I'm sure some will.

He's basically advising young players to find the highest level that they can expect to play regularly at.

The fact he was asked about English players and City are irrelevant to what he's said really.

Read the words not the crappy mirror headline.

I don't see anything bitter in what he said. I thought it was quite good advice for any young player going to a big club.
