Well said. An unbelievably talented ‘home grown’ lad from a lovely family. He manages the involvement of his family ( little Ronnie El Wey ❤) very well, without allowing them to be over exposed. The rest of this great team are like uncles to little Ronnie and it is very obvious that Phil is such a popular man and player with his fellow team mates and staff at Man City 👍

I'll give y'all a interesting fact about him he is wat England really needed in midfield euros yea we did well yea he played but u think pep says all his players are the best he seen I'm a ex footballer an if pep says that with his experience then fodden deserves to be a starter just off the strength of that an one more he needs to be fed the ball he is raw talent I saw him come on in semis stood in acres of space to not receive the ball him starting an being the attacking engine could and would have been the difference in my opinion an bet he ain't shy to take a penalty either

Foden is the best Pep has seen at that young age. As for the best Guardiola said it many many times - the best is just one, the best is Messi.

Love watching this lad play, I'm not a city fan but I love to see great young English footballers doing well unless they play for newcastle that is. He's got unbelievable talent for a lad as young as he is to acheive what he already has is amazing. Hope the lad wins a Euro & world cup medal for England as well.
