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.
I love Phil. But Pep called him the most talented player he’d ever coached. And at this point I think it is fair to compare him to peers like Saka and Bellingham. By those standards he is far ahead in titles won, but fair to say not quite as central to our team as they are to theirs.
