Phil Foden - 2018/19 Performances

[borassic]

Foden starred for the u17s at the World Cup playing as an inverting wide right forward, the Mahrez role; most prodigious but diminutive talents start out wide before gradually making the transition inside as they mature - both Silva’s are prime examples. Phil could have doubled his participation this season had Pep put faith in him and Diaz to share that role, rather than spend £60m on Mahrez.

Instead we’re going to lose Diaz, and compromise Foden’s development - having already lost Sancho, it’s going to be a shame to lose 2 of 3 elite young European talents for the sake of Pep vanity signings (the pursuit of Alexis likely contributed to Jadon backdooring it in pursuit of a fairer path to first team football)

Where's this ones IP address then?!

As long as we don't bring a ginger pig out of retirement, buy him back for a world record fee and then realise he's a useless dabbing twat.

You'd be disappointed if we told you :)

Go home

Unless you've developed rapport with Sun Jihad (and hence your comment is in jest) - this two word post illustrates nothing other than that you're a condescending prick.

I would suggest you read Sunny Boy's posts before you start judging

Touche (I have not read any of Sun's posts other than the one Dax quoted) - but I've read enough of Dax's posts to be confident of my comment with the caveat provided.

If Dax disagrees with Sun, he should make a counter argument, rather than be cryptically dismissive. Or if he can't tolerate Sun, he should just ignore him/her.

He's getting the odd game or so and some late substitute appearances. But I think he'd improve more as a regular starter.

As a regular starter, your side counts on you. Your performances are critical to team success. This places an emotional demand on you which you'll need to learn how to cope with. Phoden would likely be the best or certainly one of the best players in whatever side he's loaned out to, placing further demands on his performance.

On loan he'd not only start more often - and be relied upon to produce with the attendant pressure and personal development that this entails - he'd also be exposed to a different management philosophy and would learn how to adapt to different coaches - and he'd experience a plethora of opposing talent in all-out, important, it-really-counts games where there's no holds barred, deepening his experience both from a purely physical performance perspective as well as from a mental and team perspective.

No... a loan for Foden would clearly have been much better for his development IMO.

Surely that would depend on who is coaching him

Have you United fans grown some balls after you’re flukey win against Juve? Haven’t seen a Rag WUM like this on bluemoon for ages.
