PHIL FODEN! 23yrs old, a local academy player, not the best player in his team overall, playing multi-positons, scored 27 goals, no pens & led his hometown treble club to an historic 4peat as THE MAIN MAN!
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALL STORYS IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL, EVER!!
What stopped your club spending £14m on Julian Alvarez?
What stopped your club spending £15m on Manuel Akanji?
What stopped your club spending £20.8m on Ferran Torres (and selling him for £46.7m)?
What stopped your club spending £21m on Ilkay Gundogan?
What stopped your club spending £1.7m on Oleksandr Zinchenko (and selling him for £30m)?
Piss poor planning, that’s what.
Don’t blame City for your club’s mismanagement. No amount of alleged illicit FFP dealings could account for the above.
The sole reason that people hate Grealish, and boo him every week, is that he joined City, which is pretty fucking tragic really.
