Honestly reminds me a lot of Bernardo Silva when he was the same age at Benfica. Better as a 10 who drifts out into wide positions, but it's important to learn how to play off the wing as well as it gives you more chance to get into the team than if you can only play as a 10, as everyone wants to play there. What he has that Bernardo didn't though is two feet, I genuinely don't know which is his better one.

I thought he was, but then sometimes I see him and he only uses his right.Diaz is clearly left-footed.

It's not that clear mate, he takes pens + set pieces with his right.
Based on watching them play many games actually. Foden plays the free 8 role better than Diaz, Diaz plays more like a CAM or SS. In terms of positional sense Foden is better, although Diaz has better dribbling ability.Disagree, Diaz is at least equal as CM/AM . Unless you're basing this opinion on 1 game vs Utd.
Not a knock on Diaz and I still want him playing in the center, on the wing he is just too ineffective.

Cheers, didn't know it!It's not that clear mate, he takes pens + set pieces with his right.
Me either. But using a playmaker on one of the wings is a usual thing for Guardiola (remember Hleb or Iniesta), guess it's not the last time we've seen Diaz there. An it could help to get some minutes while he's still fragile and can't cope with the physical play in the center.Not a knock on Diaz and I still want him playing in the center, on the wing he is just too ineffective.
What are the current rumours on BD for the next season? Staying with the EDS or sitting on the bench doesn't make any sense. NAC or Girona maybe?

His right foot is very much his strongest

Thanks good one. Hope he gets a start in a preseason game.
He is a huge talent who is very young and has some development to do.
He has outstanding balance and dribbling technique. He can open up tight defences with his close control and he has good vision.
He holds on to the ball too long and gets caught in possession when he tries to dribble the 'extra' man. Christiano Ronaldo had the same issue.
This player is very talented and should be slowly nurtured with some minutes in the first team. He is beyond EDS level but not yet at full first team level.
