Why was my reply a laughable response? I'm no redcafe regular, so your need to typecast me was misplaced. What Foden will win is the league title and maybe next season's PFA Young player award. Isn't that enough? Why discredit yourself by posting your daydreams.

I'd be amazed if he was a legit Ballon D'Or contender. I think he can become a world class player but I don't think he has that extra dimension.

Surprised to find out he could go into double figures for medals by the end of this season, already at eight. All being well he's going to be massively successful.

The quality of that specific response was not synonymous with how long or regular you have been on the cafe. It rather had everything to do with how laughable it was. Type casting would be claiming that was what you ALWAYS post on the cafe. Which would be a straight up lie and just as laughable to do.I'm no redcafe regular, so your need to typecast me was misplaced.
The better question is why discredit yourself with laughable responses?What Foden will win is the league title and maybe next season's PFA Young player award. Isn't that enough? Why discredit yourself by posting your daydreams.
You are here on you high horse declaring people "trolls' and "day dreamers" and "youngsters" based on nothing but YOUR ill qualified opinion. Not even an actually reasonable argument to counter why anyone has said what they have. Yet somehow you think you should be taken seriously.
Look, you sound like a decent guy. I wish you the best for the future. I'm going to do something else other than keep replying to you. Regards.Because it has zero substance. Hence, laughable.

Remember Messi and Ronaldo will both be finished in 3-4 years. No reason why Foden can't be one of the top three players left after they're gone.I'd be amazed if he was a legit Ballon D'Or contender. I think he can become a world class player but I don't think he has that extra dimension.

Unlikely, I’d say. Very good player thoughI expect this kid to be England's first genuine Balon Dor winner or contender of the modern era.

Crazy talkOther than Messi I have not really seen anyone as gifted with the ball as him at that age.
Wow, we literally watch Grealish perform mini miracles on week to week basis and people come out with stuff like this. I don't even wanna get into a Hoddle, Waddle, Barnes, Gascoigne conversation.There’s never been an English player quite like him. He’s far more like a Spanish player in his style. So elegant, seems to glide on the ball and just pass players with ease. You can see why he gets the Iniesta comparisons. His decision making for a player so young is very very impressive.

Today's performance kind of made the hyperbole in this thread not so out of the world of an opinion suddenly.

He may be the difference between City crashing out on away goals and going through to the semi finals.Today's performance kind of made the hyperbole in this thread not so out of the world of an opinion suddenly.

He was insane, apart from his finishing. But then he scored the winner anyway. 20 years old don't forget. Although that perhaps makes Bellingham's performance even more insane, considering he'll be the same age as Foden in 3 seasons time.

This kid's potential is limitless. Some credit has to go to Pep because the easiest thing to do when David Silva got old was to just replace him with a ready made replacement.

I was surprised by the speed and physicality of the Dortmund players last night. Apart from Foden's obvious skill as a football player he was often able to run past and compete physically with their players. He is small and thin but is now clearly getting much stronger and over the last few months he seems to have got quicker as well...at least it looks that way to me... maybe I'm drinking too much in this lockdown era... haha!!.

Quite annoying how good this kid is. Seems like he's developing into one of the leaders in the team.

According to wiki it's 13 including this one.How many goals this season?

Feels like more than that.According to wiki it's 13 including this one.
Naw, he's scored in a lot of big moments(game winners) so it seems like it to some.Feels like more than that.

He's a cnut, attention seeking again with this trend of covering his mouth talking to Haaland again. He knows it will be in the papers.

Whereas if he would be talking without covering his mouth, it wouldn't 'be in the papers', right?He's a cnut, attention seeking again with this trend of covering his mouth talking to Haaland again. He knows it will be in the papers.

No idea and...I don't really care, as we're just talking hypothetically about a scenario that can't and won't happen. I'd like to think that we'd find a place for him, somewhere.Where would he play? He isn't displacing Rashford, who is better.

On the plus side, at least the national team can benefit from him playing and doing well, so there is that. Some sort of consolation.Yeah he seems like a mature young lad, I'm sure he'd be liked.

On current form Foden would certainly be in ahead of Rashford. He’d get into the team even from the right side.Where would he play? He isn't displacing Rashford, who is better.

I'm curious if he's as effective on the right, because he's keeping out Sterling right now.On current form Foden would certainly be in ahead of Rashford. He’d get into the team even from the right side.
