Speaking on ourĀ Weāre Not Really HereĀ live matchday show, the former City goalkeeper and former midfielder Michael Brown were asked to nominate their stars of 2020/21.
For James, the answer was simple, as he purred over Fodenās impressive campaign.
āItās Foden, definitely,ā he said. āThe is the last who at the beginning of the season, everyone was saying should be playing more, or needed to go out on loan.

āI remember watching him at the West Ham game - he literally changed the game. I donāt often get excited about watching footballers but I get excited watching him.
āHe reminds me of that movie Kes - not for Billyās footballing ability because he just hung off goalposts! - but thereās an innocence about him. The things he was doing in the Cup Final were ridiculous.
āIf heās not happy with what heās done, you can see it; almost feel it. Itās very emotive and the skills he has...ā
Brown was equally complimentary about the lifelong City fan from Stockport, echoing Jamesā sentiments about Fodenās passion - but the former midfielder was spoilt for choice on his Player of the Season selection!
āItās a sheer love for the game,ā he added. āHe even goes home and plays football!
āCan we wait until next weekend for the vote?! Thereās Ruben Dias, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne - heās the matchwinner; he can be the difference...
āRiyad Mahrez has done remarkably and had a good return, John Stones has had a great season, Ilkay Gundoganās return of goals, Ederson too with his amount of clean sheets...
āItās so tough! Itās a special season.ā
