Phil Foden wins FWA footballer & PL player of the year.

Great reward for a lovely player,he has been managed very well by Pep and I have no doubts he can improve even more,well done Phil,one of our own.

Whilst I don’t think awards like this should be voted on until the season is over, I am delighted that this young man has be recognised by a high percentage of football writers in this country. One can easily get carried away about how good the players at your club are (although a lot of our supporters seem to go the other way?) so when a large group who are unquestionably not biased in favour of MCFC vote for one of our own, it tells you that we really are seeing someone special develop before our own eyes.

I think Rodri is a little unfortunate not to win and certainly to be behind Rice! So long as both our boys finish ahead of the latter in the league.

Congrats to Phil & Bunny.

Phil has been brilliant this season and deserves the ward but got to feel for Rodders. He’s without doubt been the strongest player in the world in his position for the past couple of years. The guy is invincible.
 
So he's been voted FWA player if the year but manty of the papers haven't even mentioned it yet! Bizare but par for the course. The press go silent when City have some success
 
Phil's patience has been rewarded. A few more of favourites over the recent years should have got more recognition well.

Clearly a deserved award. Stand out player in the league, no doubt.

I'm sure Pep will keep Phil grounded, though. He still has so much potential to realise.

Thinking of the Real Madrid games: Phil popped up at one vital moment (proving that he has the cojones for the big stages), but was absent for large parts of both legs.

He's only 23. For context, we signed David Silva and Aguero when they were respectively that age. He's already achieved much of what they did.

But his next step is to become an omnipresent influence on every match he plays. He has already demonstrated an ability to "grab games by the scruff of the neck." But now? He needs to step up in more of the big games in a bigger manner.

When he does that, he will win Ballon D'Ors, possibly even a World Cup medal or two. Such is his talent.

FWA POTY at 23 years old is a huge achievement. And deserved. But Phil can't rest on his laurels. His ceiling is too high.
