DeadLinesman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 This will come as a surprise, but definitely Foden. He’s streets ahead in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Other than the fact he's a blue technically Foden is fantastic, he's being handled brilliantly as well. If only United had the same luxury with Greenwood, we could afford him game time in the games that will suit him and allow him to grow as a senior player instead of running the kid into the ground and destroying his confidence. Foden plays two or three and sits out a couple and he's allowed game time when the opposition suits with the odd element of trust in certain big fixtures.

DNA Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The fans say one thing but the managers say another, Mount is the first name on the team sheet for any club he plays for and that speaks volumes. The Euro side will be built around him and we know that. Foden also top class of course, the ceiling for him looks limitless; don’t really want to compare them, just wish we had our own up and coming English talent pains me to see Calvert-Lewin now.

You paid over 20 million for Brewster, surely he's got to fall in that bracket at that price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Although Mount is a real talent, I would have to choose the younger Foden over Mount. Foden is just a class act and the complete all round midfielder in my opinion. If he is not already world class, he will be considered so soon.

Inverted Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Depends. I'd rather have Foden has a wide attacker or attacking midfielder but if I need more a normal centre mid or a box-to-box player I'd go for Mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re players with different roles so it’s not as easy as a comparison between say Ederson and Allison, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount is the first name Southgate says, even when he’s asked questions about literally any other player in the squad. That to me speaks volumes, but not about how good Mount is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pay 40k and a snickers bar for wages, the transfer fee is always the easiest part, 100 year instalments and appearance triggers. Good to see him doing well, proper diamond in the rough.. was shocking in the academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same happened with the Lampard & Gerrard stuff ‘to an extent’, football classism, Foden looks like he’s literally been pulled from some estate in Manchester, thick accent bit vulgar outside of football with his antics etc, Mount had a sheltered life. Both top players and as stated before, thankfully operate different areas of the pitch anyway; just hope we can get our act together with Southgate for the Euro’s.

Cicero Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Better argument would be Foden vs Sancho or Foden vs Grealish/Maddison. Mount I don't consider an attacking player, more of a traditional box to box and probably the best one England have. Also, put Foden in our team, he would struggle.

Essentially why Southgate has opted for the 343. Offers a lot of protection for the back line, but as you stated, you have an abundance of attacking talent too good to be ignored.
