Exactly. I just really struggle with how people are still making the same excuses for us not playing him. None of them hold up anymore.
He was good enough at 16 to be playing top class football in tbis country.
No doubt about it.
He was good enough at 18 to be playing for both Manchester City and England.
The commercial decision to let David silva ride out his 10th season as captain.....and become a legend...has fucked up Phil Fodens early career....
That talent,that footballing genius, could have impacted on our title challenge.
The only thing City won this season was the league cup..when our kid was Man of the match,playing out of posistion..
Our best league performance was against the champions at home where he scored two goals ,and was again man of the match.
Our best performance in Europe was against Real Madrid.we won. Foden,again man of the match.
After all the deliberation..the stop /start fookery over the last 4 seasons.we leave him out of a crucial match and fail to progress to the champions league semi finals
Fodens goals and assists this season are on a par with merlins,despite our academy product playing maybe half the number of games...
Englands midfield is crying out for a ball player with magic in his boots.
Now tell me this young lads career hasnt been held back.
