I agree that Gascoigne was on a completely different level to Foden in terms of natural ability; Grealish is the only English player remotely similar since, and he’s still miles away. Foden is a lot more comparable to Giggs, both in the way he plays and the fact that he’ll have a much longer, more decorated career at the top level.

In this clip Gazza was a crocked and overweight but still dominates a Dortmund team that went on to win the Champions League the next season.


Does it get any better? So far I'm four minutes in and it feels like I'm watching Masters Football and all he's done is play a few five or ten yard passes.

Not saying he didn't have a lot of talent but there's not really anything he's done so far in that video to back it up.
 
Gascoigne was a poorly behaved, uncontrollable, alcoholic, playboy. Phil is hard-working young man who is obsessed with football, with much more understanding and help with mental health issues (which may have helped Gazza a lot).

Foden could have half the talent and he'd still have twice the career of Gazza.

Gazza career honours (20 year career):
FA Cup (1): 1991
Scottish Premier Division (2): 1996, 1997
Scottish Cup: 1996
Scottish League Cup: 1997
Total: 5 honours

Foden career honours (4.5 year career):
Premier League (3): 2018, 2019, 2021
FA Cup: 2019
EFL Cup (4): 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021
Community Shield (2): 2018, 2019
Total: 10 honours
Gazza got to play in League 2, something our Phil should have done on loan to toughen him up…..

Your really showing your ignorance.
 
Gascoigne was the best english footballer i ever saw. Hopefully phil can emulate

People say he flopped with Lazio . But when he played he tore the serie a defenses apart.
 
Gascoigne from what I have seen is more similar as a player to KDB. Its does not make sense to compare Foden to Gascoigne at this stage of their careers.
 
Phils 21. If he fulfills his potential, which he looks like hes intent on doing, hell piss all over whatever gascgoine did. Gazza was a cracking player but phil will be a level above.

Nothing like De Bryune . Gascoigne was a deep playmaker, who controlled midfield . KDB is essentially a no 10 or a free 8 as he has said himself. He is a final ball man.

not really KDB most of his career here played deeper only for the past year he is playing a bit further up. When silva was here he was the one playing further up.

He has never really played in midfield .He is ahead of the ball most of the time . He has never played as a midfielder
like Modric or Jorjinho .
 

This is Gazza bossing AC Milan . The best team in the world at the time . His ability to find space and game intelligence was incredible . I am sorry . Phil Foden is no where near this level. He has a long way to go.
