I’m sure there was a similar thing with Sarri and Hudson-Odoi last season.
Not so sure it was such a big deal. That was, if my memory serves me correctly fueled by contract negotiations and the fact that other wingers at Chelsea were performing poor (or at least according to a substantial number of CFC fans).
Not like Gundogan and Silva are lighting up the world at the moment.
He was never going to leave and he was never going out on loan
Yep. And thats why i personally...have had to pretty much STFU about Foden..becauce it all gets wrapped up in media anti City,point scoring shit....They are desperate for Foden to go out on loan or move all together,claiming he needs to be playing regularly,hmmm is it because he is at Manchester City,if for instance he was at Everton or wolves would they be crying about game time I highly doubt it,also you can bet if he did go out on loan and wasn’t getting game time there’d be no mention of it from the media,Phil will get game time and plenty of it this season these cnuts are just absolutely desperate for any crumb of negativity aimed at city ...
The only way it could be viable is if he goes on loan in January and plays 90 competitive minutes every week for 5 months ; it’s unfair to expect him to go from mascot to midfield metronome without suffient football to mature in between.
Which club will commit to playing him 90 minutes a week for 5 months?
And he’s never going to be ready to replace David Silva next season, because he won’t have played nearly enough football to suddenly be a starting every week for a top club - it had to be a gradual process from the start of last season, but generic players like Gundogan and an over-played, geriatric Silva are occupying what should be his development minutes.

You are losing focus on the point we discussed. If I was less polite, I would say you are being obtuse.
Are you stating that Hudson Odoi last year and Foden's position now is identical? That is the point we were discussing. I am not getting into a debate comparing the quality of Chelsea's wingers with our midfielders. A rather ridiculous comparison.
Isn't a dipper forum missing you?And he’s never going to be ready to replace David Silva next season, because he won’t have played nearly enough football to suddenly be a starting every week for a top club - it had to be a gradual process from the start of last season, but generic players like Gundogan and an over-played, geriatric Silva are occupying what should be his development minutes.
