47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Charlesfarsbar]

When he takes over Kevin’s role in the team in about three seasons he’ll be the best midfielder in world football

if Haaland is still here at that point I can’t see anyone stopping us

A 25 year old pairing of Haaland and Foden with around 700 senior appearances between them ! Frightening

He's a natural goal scorer imo. I know some people don't think he is but he's got the ability to create space and time for his shot that I don't think can necessarily be taught. Heck of a pass to Haaland as well.

He is definitely a natural goal scorer.

 

[Josh_D]

He’s finally signed a new contract…here till 2027

 

[OntarioBlue]

Just seen the news of the latest contract extension. This is a great move by the Club. Phil is a generational talent and we are building our future around him and Haaland.

from what I have seen in the past few games we have some exceptional young players that Pep is clearly comfortable to give game time to.

The future is looking as bright as our present.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Perfect timing for the announcement.
Love it.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Brilliant news , but the breaking news on Sunday morning before the "big" game for the Dippers , will be the release clause where he can sign for the Rags in 2027 for a chip barm cake.

 

[xgorton]

Bet he never thought that night when he was ball boy watching us beat the Rags 2012 (Kompany header) he would one day be a regular in the first team and be on £200 grand a week.

What age for being skipper? 27?

 

[gman07]

incredible stats, 52 goals, 36 ass so far... wtf I didnt know it was that kind of figures... and i watch all games :-)

25

He’s the 8th most capped player in the squad and only 3 players have been in the first team longer.

In 3 years time there will probably be no Mahrez, Walker, Gundo, Bernardo & if KDB is still here he will be part time at 35.

Would be a thing of beauty. Here's hoping.

Yeah the players obviously vote and tend to do it a more european style of most caps/experience etc.

 

[Blue Maverick]

I remember years ago Mansour saying he hoped for 10 local lads to be playing for us or a few and one been captain, Phil will be that in 5 years

Haven't you been reading the Sky Sports news app? Haaland will be off to Madrid in January.

A generational talent for sure.

 

[stonerblue]

Stagnating. Probably played too many positions and not been allowed to master one

Hahaha

Milner pocketed Foden.. why didnt he challenge him on pace, instead of doing The Grealish light and do backwards passes all game..

 

[01cravend]

He did alright overall but he was playing a almost 37 year old out of position. It should have been another Vini Jr vs Fernandinho

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Because we're seven years in and still not playing a left back. The only time he was productive was when he drifted inside because there is no option other than backwards on the left.
