Even before his injury he was being squeezed out by Bernardo, Sterling and Mahrez. In 18/19 Bayern had been tapping him up heavily and by the end of the season he’d no interest in signing a new deal and wasn’t interested in working hard on the pitch.
It’s a pity as if he’d knuckled down and listened to Pep he could have been world class. Pace, dribbling, finishing and strong on the ball, he had the lot. He didn’t have enough hunger to improve, his work rate off the ball was shocking.
Such a shame what happened to him, he looked like he could have been a future world player of the year when he first came and one of the players I thought had the highest ceilings. Lost his position to Mahrez towards the back of end of the 18/19 season and then got injured at Wembley in the charity shield. He’s never looked like the same player since, if Sane had showed his promise would Foden have got his break into the starting eleven?
