Phil Foden - What Is His Potential?

He’s the 3rd best young talent in the world after Mbappé & Haaland for me.

Stupidly good footballer already, not sure there’s many teams in the world he isn’t an automatic starter for as either a winger or midfielder.

Worst bit about it is that his dad’s a red but he followed City as a kid because of his mum. His dad failed.

:lol:

That’s actually a weird one, maybe his Dad wasn't involved in his life?
 
Now his mother was assaulted by some twat - not sure what venue it was they were at.

 
Himself Sancho and Greenwood pretty much have all the potential in the world imo.

Greenwoods is wasted now so it's between Foden and Sancho now

I'd say Foden will be better a large part though because it's easier to flourish at City.
 
That looks more like his mother hits few guys than she being hit by them. We don't know everything of course, and they shouldn't return to her like that, but she looks really agressive for some reason when he just goes about his business in that room, and she stays in the hole fighting with couple of men.

Seriously weird video.

Looks to me like they followed them down to whatever room they were in and kept giving Foden's family abuse. His mother shouted at them to go away and one of them got in her face, so she pushed him away before that guy punched her. At that point, it was just chaos.
 
Bar hopping with mom :lol:

Poor mom though, no excuse for hitting her.
 
It was clear the people provoking them wanted a reaction, hence the recording and the laughter, and the mom made the situation 10 times worse.
 
Those lads seem like utter pricks. After the initial skirmish it's hard to tell who is even doing what. Whats the arsehole with the fire extinguisher doing?

The fire extinguisher part was outrageous. Imagine if he’d have connected…even I ducked just watching the video.
 
Innocent? Have you actually watched the video?

:lol: I have seen it now.

Seems like they were being dickheads to start with but she did initiate the physical side of it. Did he need to take a swing? Probably not but I suppose if you play stupid games you get stupid prizes.

Would you not push someone away if some stranger got in your face? Punching her was cowardly and a fecking disgrace.

Punching any woman is a disgrace and they were acting like dickheads. With that said Phil did the right thing in removing himself from the situation, his mother could have shown the same maturity and avoided the whole situation.
 
Probably coked up idiots, there is another video of another group hassling then too, while Ms Foden didn't in any way help the situation to then throw a full punch to a woman is absolutely the pits, if one of my mates did that then they wouldn't be a mate any longer, though luckily enough I don't knock around with wannabe coked up arseholes
 
Removing himself from the situation was smart. I'm not sure I'd have done the same if some bloke had punched my mum in the face, I'd most likely also be swinging a fire extinguisher (and probably missing because those things are heavy).

Probably should have stayed in the room, but I suppose people are only human and with enough provocation most will eventually react.
 
Looks like a failure of security at the event to let them get hassled to that extent.

For those saying “out with his mum haha”, it was a boxing event and it’s easy to forget that he just turned 21 years old. He wasn’t out in the clubs dancing with his ma!

Mum should have gotten into the room and closed the door, but it’s sad that it had to come to that

Mum was in the room. Fodens partner screaming “someone called him a cnut” got her out.

They should have just closed the door (no excuses for any of the stuff that followed, either side)
