I think he is very talented in terms of dribbling and ball control but in recent times whenever former footballers are asked about future balon d or contenders,his name is always mentioned but he is 23 years of age now and still he is not a starter for man City ,his best position is up for debate(rw or advanced 8)and while he has put in some good performances for city I have not seen enough from him to say he will be a future balon d or contender consistently. He seems like Bernardo Silva level player to me which is a very good player but not a balon d or contender(consistently) player.He also resembles him in style quite a bit.
As a Utd fan I think he is absolutely class. He would do better numbers if went to a team that played more direct football and he could be the main man.
It’s because he is English and the English/ Premier League dominate English-language-speaking football forums/ TV commentary.
Foden is a good player with a great skill set he need to drastically improve his finishing game if he wants to progress to the next tier though. Creatively I think he will get to a similar level to Silva but not KDB.
He strikes me as a Grealish type player that would shine personally in a team with more freedom rather than the system managers like Pep. Not saying they wound be successful as they clearly are but in terms of personal development
Im more confused about the rashford hype at least that seems to be dying down this season.
To answer your question I’d like to show you this image
Nobody gives a shite about the ballon d’or. It is a playground argument.
Just because he isn’t the #1 footballer in any fiven year doesn’t mean he’s not excellent.
I never got the Foden love fest. Saka is a better player yet gets half the media love.
Foden controls a ball and takes it past an opponent and it gets clips on YouTube like he’s defied gravity.
He’s clearly a good player but FMD he doesn’t start for his club or his country.
No ill tell you who is massively overrates. Jude bellingham
No he isn’t overrated. Next
He’s getting underrated. Not sure where all this negativity is coming from and I dislike Man City as much as the next guy.
No. In fact I think he’s a bit restricted under pep and in a different team where he’s given full freedom he’d be top 10 player ITW
Not over rated at all he’s absolute class
I don’t watch many city games, but when I do watch he never shows much.
Token English kid with a decent dribble.
He’s the most technical English player at the moment.
But that’s not a much of a huge claim as England don’t produce players like Iniesta Modric B Silva etc.
