Tommie Tickle has said he will play in a central position as a 10/9. Given that he was very descriptive on Bellend playing 10 I'm not convinced that Phil will get that much game time.

Problem with Foden is that most people who watch football are idiots and support red shirts. He will finish his career severely under rated by most who haven't spent 10 years watching him but instead think they know his game because they saw him play for England for 10 minutes getting the ball in all the wrong positions because no one will pass it to him when he's got two players on his back.
He needs team mates that trust him. Look at the players who came up with him and won the U17 world cup and you'll see Foden has massive excelled in comparison - this is obviously helped by playing for Manchester City but he outperforms Scholes, Lampard, Fabregas and Gerrard in terms of goals and assists per game in the league (according to chatgpt) but he will not often be talked about being in their same bracket. He even dare I say it has a higher G/A per game than David Silva. Bergkamp and Kev are on another level.

Phil will likely finish his career with more trophies than any English player in history. He is already the most successful at his age. The way he is underrated by the English press confirms that we have the most ignorant sports media in the world. David Silva is revered as an all-time great in Spain but not by the morons over here.Problem with Foden is that most people who watch football are idiots and support red shirts.

Phil getting a cameo may be the best thing for now. Last thing we want is him being shoehorned into the team, struggling, and then all this media lambasting crap starts again.Tommie Tickle has said he will play in a central position as a 10/9.

Or worse he picks up an injury. I only care about him playing for England because being picked makes him happy. Otherwise fuck England.
