probably blown out of proportion as per, although the rumours of him cheating on mrs multiple times are true, don't know why young lads settle down so early, too much temptation causes too many issues for someone in his position.

I don't think that Pep will drop player for cheating. We had players under similar situations and even juicer stories here and Pep never meddled. Walker and Stones for example.
 
They’re all at it… I don’t just mean City players, I mean footballers in general. Even ones you’d never expect it of.

The whole culture of their lives is completely different to normal society. The wives know what goes on and they just accept it as part of the wider lifestyle that comes with the money.

I used to know that brass who Balotelli and Rooney shagged, she’s had loads of footballers, most are married.

I know someone who worked at City for twelve years and she thinks that Nedum Onuoha was possibly the only one in her time at the club who hadn’t cheated on his missus.

My brother-in-law’s sister has had a few relations with footy players n’all… all married.
thanks for the enlightenment haha, yeah, you're right there, the mrs doesn't want to loose that life style! you just don't expect really considering how everything gets out in this day and age.

I've heard a few things about Ederson whether true or not you never know.

Ah Nedum Onuoha, could his star rise any higher. It would appear he is a thoroughly decent chap.

I suppose you're right, but stones has been close to leaving, and don't think pep was best pleased with walker at the time, maybe he's just on the piss a lot and loosing focus, he'll come good again no doubt!

The line about the wives knowing. Pal of a pal is a journo, he has a story on a very well known ex player now pundit who has had multi multi affairs but its not a story as his mrs knows full well who and where but she doesnt care

Didnt giggs wife stay with him for a bit when his affairs started coming out? I guess they want the trappings and kudos rather than just being a prem footballers ex
 
What happened to this player ????


What a talent. Will be amazing again when he hopefully gets that form back. One slight worry watching that is even though he’s been taking players on far less the odd time he has he doesn’t seem to have that burst of pace he’d developed on those runs after using that sprint coach.
 
Foden has been Guardiola'd. Just as Grealish has. It's not jut a coincidence that two players who are fantastic at dribbling with the ball often turn back and play a safe pass after working under Pep. They're clearly doing what they are been told to do to a large extent. Do people actually think Phil really wants to be hogging a touch line out wide most games he starts like he's Steve Guppy?

Guardiola claimed in that spurs post match interview that he wants his team to attack at speed so that would suggest the players aren't listening or the fear of losing possession is hampering their natural instincts.

If Jack's only just overcoming that fear after a season and a half then I kind of get it. He's had a lot of catching up to do in understanding how Pep wants him to play since he joined.

But Phil's been at City since he was a kid and in the first team for years, and he was direct and dynamic for a long time. I'm struggling to understand that he's suddenly started ignoring instructions or being overwhelmed with fear.
 
Strange - rate Foden over Grealish - but I guess Foden has off-field training issues. Too bad. Hope Foden turns it around.
 
I watched Saka for Arsenal yesterday, for the last couple of seasons it's been a toss up between him and Phil for an England spot.
On current form Saka is miles ahead of him, I've no idea what Phils problems are but unless he sorts it out he's not only in danger of loosing his City spot, but his England place as well.
Hope he gets back to the player we all hoped he'd become, un playable on his day.
 
Tbh it’s not rocket science, Foden’s pay went from a “mere” £10k per week to a reported £300k per week, no wonder he seems to have lost focus which I certainly think he has.
 
I don't know what Foden is anymore and I suspect he doesn't too! He scored a goal 2 seasons ago at Brighton that proved his ability. A decisive and direct 60 yard run at full pace and incredible finish. To be honest I'm not certain, that even at his young age, we will ever see him produce anything remotely like that again.

In short, he's lost his way and shows little sign of wanting to find it.

Foden needs to shape up - he's a fantastic talent. But for Pep not to start him due to fitness issues - speaks volumes.
 
We all might need to accept the inevitable with Phil. He could easily become a player who does not live up to his potential. I fucking hope not!

Come on lad we need you back at it.
