Jack Rodwell - young English talent NOT to sign for City

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

The problem with young English talent is that the young German/Spanish/Argentine talent are far more developed and have been brought up to adapt to the modern game.


Kids in this country are still pushed through to evolve into the next Gascoigne, Gerrard, Rooney, Shearer etc.


Such moulds of players are now virtually extinct. There's no room for an aggressive footballer anymore. Gerrard and Rooney can still look good against other English sides that play this dated English football, but every time either play the champions league or international football, they go missing.


It doesn't just run through one or two age groups either, Sunday League is the same. This whole "Get stuck in" attitude runs right across the border.


And people like Hoddle, the Redknapp's, Southgate etc. on TV banging the traditional English football drum don't help at all. Talk about being 40 years behind the rest of the world, even Algeria look a far more technical side than England.

Barkley is another, looks great in the English game, just wait until he gets thrown into the international scene on a regular basis, he'll fall short like the rest of them, but not because of his ability, but because coaches abroad were teaching their youngsters a far superior game of football than ours.


Clubs like ourselves, Chelsea, Arsenal, United etc. all have adopted the same system to those abroad, but it's still going to be flawed. The kids they all bring through are going to come from amateur clubs that have pushed such a system.

And to cap it all off, people are now blaming foreign players for being too good. Hodgson is another, the other day he was on Sky talking about how English players need more game time. It's ludicrous, giving Welbeck more minutes than Van Persie isn't going to make him a better player than Van Persie.

Too many problems and it all rests with the FA, Germany saw through such a problem fifteen years ago and are now feeling the benefits for such drastic changes.

The best solution for City is to not bow to the media pressure on delivering English players, the entire system is broke.

What ? Of course there's room for aggressive players. If we had more player like gasgoine, Rooney, shearer, Gerard we'd have a brilliant team and really good players. Why wouldn't we want more players like that. Btw champions league - Gerrard almost single handley helped liverpool won the champions league. Rooney plays well in it, gasgoine was a brilliant player and shearer didn't get to play much champions league football

Why don't we just make our own English style of playing why do we just have to copy everyone else. When spain won things all I heard was let's copy Spain now it's Germany. Why not create our own English style of playing. You don't need a world class team to do well look at Costa Rica. It's all about management and playign to your strengths IMO. English youngsters are good enough to compete with anyone, we win all he tournaments. Right throug to u21s.

Sunderland new boy Jack Rodwell advises young English talent NOT to sign for Manchester City

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 ?

I have it on good authority that Adam Johnson is a well known pisshead in the Boro, and unfortunately for Jack he has this ligament problem, which is a shame, because i like the lad as a player. If Jack has said this he`s a prick, however I more likely the journalist who had given him a loaded question then embroidered the answer is a prick

The problem with English players is the tag of The next this the next that,one decent player comes on the scene and the media are singing praises,and stupid price tags to go with it

We have won Jack Shit since 1966 playing the English way I would suggest it's a little flawed

Rodwell said nothing wrong in that interview. He was spot on with all of it.

You're right. It was the headline that was shite.

Sets the record straight. Wonder if the papers will pick it up..............not!

Rodwell has also insisted he did not advise young players to reject a move to City when he was presented as a Sunderland player.

He added: “I actually said, ‘The last thing I could say to any young player is don’t sign for City’. And somehow that was translated into ‘Don’t sign for City’.

“How could I tell someone not to sign for City? They’re one of the biggest clubs in England, with the money they’ve got, the titles they’re winning, the Champions League. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that? You’d be crazy not to.
