Nah it’s real. The current best English player is Cole Palmer and there is nothing wrong with it. Doesn’t make Foden a bad player.

Well, don’t be a clown. Put your case.This has got to be a joke...
Palmer isn’t as good as Phil.Well, you sound like a bit of a clown so please explain.
I’m not sure there needs to be much more explanation.

I might even agree with you but at least state your case. Somehow, “Phil 1’s not sure” doesn’t do it for me.Palmer isn’t as good as Phil.

Unable to explain that Foden over many seasons has been brilliant, who’s just come off the back of a clean sweep of awards for actually confirm he’s one of the best in the world. Who is savvy enough to adapt to many roles in order to play for the best manager in the best team in the world as opposed to a good 12 months in a team that allows him the freedom to shine individually?You mean you are unable to explain?
The only explanation to think Palmer is better is the people saying it only started watching football a year ago.

No, you dick. I started watching City in the early/mid 1960s.The only explanation to think Palmer is better is the people saying it only started watching football a year ago.
Haha! I’m well aware that you’re a long time blue. Makes your opinion that Palmer is better all the stranger but I’m not arguing with you.No, you dick. I started watching City in the 1960s.
You asked me for an explanation, I gave you mine.
What’s yours for thinking he’s a better player?
Pretty sure any highlight reel will favour Phil.

I’m actually a big fan of Phil and always have been. I’m not saying Palmer’s better than him unless or until he sustains what he’s currently doing, which is:Haha! I’m well aware that you’re a long time blue. Makes your opinion that Palmer is better all the stranger but I’m not arguing with you.

-Inspiring, if not galvanising, an underperforming rag bag of individuals
- Scoring loads of goals
- Getting assists
- Shooting on sight (which we desperately lack), and
- Passing like a good un.
On those counts and on present form, he most definitely eclipses Phil. Over the last 3 or 4 years in total? No. Longer term future? We’ll see, but hopefully not.
You’ll get no argument from me on Palmers merits. He’s brilliant. I always feel that there’s some recency bias involved when it comes to him and Foden comparisons though.I’m actually a big fan of Phil and always have been.

As an aside it finally looks like Phil’s head is back in the game after an uncertain start to the season.
Let’s see how it plays out.
But I changed my username from Pablo1 to Phil1 so that should convince you, surely? Haha!I might even agree with you but at least state your case. Somehow, “Phil 1’s not sure” doesn’t do it for me.
