Foden is so similar to early Scholes when he was playing behind cantona, though he doesn't have the same heading ability
England do seem to have lots of attacking talent at the moment, it’s interesting to see how they’ll all fit together, a formation to make it work and who will be left out.England are going to have some great squads in the next few years. Hope we can find a daring and exciting manager to extract the best out of them. Foden's going to be a great player. We're oozing with attacking talent, might actually be fun to support England for a change.
They started together in England’s last match.They’ve never started together.
To be fair the only other young top talents that Pep had who were first team players aside from Messi were Alaba, Pique and Busquets, and it depends how much you rate them 3 really.What a player. Guardiola once said he is best young talent he has ever worked with... well other than Messi, he is not wrong I guess.
Never seen them in the same room.Might seem pity but his hair style really bothers me.
Other than Messi I have not really seen anyone as gifted with the ball as him at that age.Even with the plethora of young talent in this England squad, it’s clear he’s going to be that player that the future teams are built around. He’s absolutely sensational.
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.Other than Messi I have not really seen anyone as gifted with the ball as him at that age.
My goodness, you must not have seen many players thenOther than Messi I have not really seen anyone as gifted with the ball as him at that age.
You’re right, not many with his talent at 20.My goodness, you must not have seen many players then
Rosicky :cough: :cough:You’re right, not many with his talent at 20.

What utter bollocksThere’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.

Not sure if you’re trolling. Foden is a talented player, but what you said is an extreme exaggeration. Maybe he has a unique ability for an English player at 20, but not across the board, that’s crazy talkYou’re right, not many with his talent at 20.
Iniesta, Isco, Götze and i am sure plenty more. Ronaldinho must have been as good on the ball as anyone at that age. Foden is great and stands out in England, but i think you are forgetting the past a bit.You’re right, not many with his talent at 20.
Don’t think he starts. He’ll be in the squad and can play pretty much any position.Where do we think his best position is for England? With Rashford, Sterling, Jadon Sancho among others very good in the wide areas id play him next to Rice but doubt Southgate would be that attack minded...
That is just hyperbole.Other than Messi I have not really seen anyone as gifted with the ball as him at that age.
Yeah silly statement really. He is 20, so there are a lot that I could name at his age that were better on the ball such as;My goodness, you must not have seen many players then
Gascoigne perhaps?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.

In what way you talking about because there have been plenty technically gifted Iberian esque English players, Waddle Hoddle, Mcmannaman, to name a few.There’s never been an English player quite like him.

What’s that got to do with this, and does anyone rate McNeil as Foden-level?Love the fact that we took McNeil back off these blue nose cnuts.
Just have to wait and see won’t you mateWhat’s that got to do with this, and does anyone rate McNeil as Foden-level?
I doubt his pressing or energy is as good as Mounts but his output is definitely better. That being said they don’t play the same, it’s like comparing Lampard to Carrick.Foden is good but is he better than Mount? Would Mount do better in a well stacked city team?
More like Lampard to Gerrard or Early Scholes, Foden and Mount both occupy the same positions.I doubt his pressing or energy is as good as Mounts but his output is definitely better. That being said they don’t play the same, it’s like comparing Lampard to Carrick.

No. As underrated as Mount is (the "Frank/Tuchel jokes are just silly), Foden is clearly better, so far, and it's not because he plays in a better team.Foden is good but is he better than Mount? Would Mount do better in a well stacked city team?
It's ok to let people get excited, even if you'd like to remain stoicSome hilariously over the top comments in this thread! He is talented but he has a long way to go before I'd be getting too excited.
They may occupy the same positions but their roles are certainly different, from the City/Chelsea games I've seenMore like Lampard to Gerrard or Early Scholes, Foden and Mount both occupy the same positions.
I doubt it. He is not good enough. Doesn't seem like he has that something extra to offer to place in the top 3. You're trolling, or you are too young to gauge players on their merit.I expect this kid to be England's first genuine Balon Dor winner or contender of the modern era.
Laughable response. I bet you are the type who assumes because a Guardiola doesn't play a player he can't be all that. I bet you think Sane overrated. Plus Sancho was never good enough so Pep let him go....I doubt it. He is not good enough. Doesn't seem like he has that something extra to offer to place in the top 3. You're trolling, or you are too young to gauge players on their merit.
