For me, Foden is very similar to Bernie, he can play as a winger like Raheem/Sane, but also as a playmaker like Dave or KDB. So, for me, he should had played more this season with all the injuries, but signing Mahrez last summer meant that Phil will not have a huge starting impact.

Now, I don't like Mahrez that much, however I think he has a pretty decent record for us. The only thing that annoys me is about him is that penalty.

Loaning him out can have big benefits with the right clauses inserted. I would send him for the remaining season for someone like Palace, etc, put a starting clause in his contract, or first team, put them 0% part in his wages and give it a go.

He needs game because he looks like he has a hell of a potential.

Loaning Mehrez to some team in Iraq will do. Hopefully he won't return

Correct.

PG prefers Mahrez over Foden in the starting lineup as he believes he can swap Mahrez from the wing to attacking midfield Mahrez during a game whereas he hasn't that flexibility with Foden .............which I think is bollocks, as Foden has the skill and speed to play anywhere out of the back 4 and Im sure Ive seen him play on the wing.

I also think Foden has more unpredictability in his play, skill wise, than ''one dimension Mahrez'' has.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"
