What is Cole Palmer's comparison with Foden like? Of course, besides the points that they occupy slightly different positions and Foden is a little ahead in development ( older age + more game time )?

Based on what? A dozen penalties and leaving the club Foden just carried to the title with a POTY season as he couldn't even start games?
Obviously it’s necessary to needless overrate performances to mythical levels for no apparent reason. No single player carries this City team. Financial fraud just might though.

I really hope they strip all City players of all of their medals.

Just to send a signal to future players who’ll want to grow up in or sign for a shady club - That there is a risk by doing so.

Future talents like Foden or Palmer will sign for the next shady club if not and the cycle will continue.

He’s a great player, mind you. But it’s just a shame to see the best football players being wasted at a club that numbs football.

Yes agreed.

Also we scrutinise clubs so much for their actions but the players and managers are often protected from any criticism whereas they are culpable in enabling and covering up the frauds and ultimately destroying the value of the league. The whole “they just want to play” is just very convenient.

He's got to the stage where you know the ball's going in the net if he's given space to get a shot in, in and around the box.
While he obviously goes for more power, it does remind me of Messi (especially in the later years) where you just knew every shot from outside the box will most definitely test the keeper or go in.
