Phil Foden....no longer just potential

Lake played up front for City away at Everton league cup quarter final ..under Machin.
He also played as a forward for the youth team i believe.
Lake played in every single outfield position for Manchester City, he would have been world class in my opinion, if not for the injury.
so true class player
but sadly he would have been world class and england captain at another club ? because swales would have took the first offer of around £2 million

The real reason Frank Lampard junior got into the team at WHU,was that he consistently scoring between 20 and 30 goals per season for their youth team..as a midfielder. Year in ,year out.I don’t think any of us were studying Frank as a youngster. He only got in the team at West Ham because of nepotism anyway...

Woooo this thread is getting me excited. Hopefully he can get close to Lampards goal contribution but he's a slightly different player for me. Phil can drive and dribble with the ball in a way i don't remember Lampard doing. Although he gets the Silva comparison he's not really like him either. He has a similar glide around the pitch but he is much more direct than Silva.
The most recent city player i liken him to is actually Yaya without the physical bulk. Probably eats less cake. Can pass and shoot and has an audacity that is rare to see in a player of any age but particular rare to see the consistency of it in a player so young.
If everything goes well hopefully we will in 10-15 years describing players as Fodenesque.

Our media friends have tried without success to finish Raheem. As we all know this lad will be the next target, for sure. They will build him up for the knockdown in any way they can. Just hope City really keep this lad's feet well and truly grounded. Possibly a future star.
They won't, he's white for a start. As much as they hate city, he won't get anywhere near like the shite Sterling got. Sterling had the temerity to be black,quality and moved to City from the media darlings. The dog whistle(and overt) racism from the press Sterling got was a disgrace, which only settled down after he called them out on it, with the different way Foden and Sterling were reported on for the same thing. Foden being the good family guy and Sterling being a flash fucker. From that perspective at least, Foden will get a much easier ride. On top of which, he's got Sterling there to help him deal with it should the press start going down that road.
tl;dr
Foden will be OK

He won't get it because all the hacks know the national team desperately needs him next summer.
