Foden agrees new deal

[levets]

Same agent as Haaland, no?

Yes, same agent as Erling

 

[levets]

Maybe just the boost Phil needs

 

[GazM]

Strange, like the Dias extension

Didn't Rico Lewis get one too ? Odd if true.

Probably the only reason Pep didn’t make that sub is because of how bad Phil has been lately

Fortunately Pep doesn’t think like that. He knows more than you

I like these extensions. Next up, Kovacic, Phillips and Grealish.

That why he didn’t put him in when Cherki was having one? Reckon he might have come in earlier in the season in similar circumstances? Wonder why!

Only Pep knows as he’s the one dealing with things in real time as opposed to hindsight.

Foden will go as he’s the back up to Kane. Don’t think your manager trusts any other striker why he tried the experiment in the friendly game. Foden best season for us if you look at where he played his football best was like a second striker, like a Dybala.

Palmer can’t do that , Bellingham is a child having a temper tantrum in Madrid. Tuchel values character if you go by Chelsea fans he put his arm around Mount I think he will do the same with Phil.

I’m fine with that , he gets to go to World Cup that will do his confidence a world of good. But he won’t have the insane amount of pressure.

I think England have played best with Rice, Anderson and Rogers. Kane obviously plays as will Saka. Will be interesting who he picks for the left side and the back ups.

Really hope he finds his form but seems v odd for a club to give someone a new five year deal off the back of two years where he's been so below par.

Maybe they know the reason for the poor form and are reasonably confident the situation will be sorted out.

Wouldn’t extend his contract if it was a long term health problem, hope to see Phil back next season after a good break.

We would all be happy with that!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

With Bernado leaving, this is surely his chance to do just that.

I don't see Foden as a Bernardo replacement - just an opinion though

Protecting your investment.

Idk how I feel about this.. love the lad, on his day a proper player.. but has had 2 bad seasons.. and to reward that with a new contract is kinda meh to me.. don’t think we need dead wood. But I hope I am wrong and he comes next season fresh and ready

Misleading headline , mods can we change the title with “ foden agrees new deal to go on loan to girona ?

 

[manimanc]

He's obviously struggling with one thing or another but he'll be back better and stronger next season.
I hope Tommy Tootle doesn't pick him and he has the summer off.
Great news getting him tied down.

when he’s on his element , he’s the closest to David Silva then anyone I can think of

 

[BlueMerlin]

I’m happy Phil is staying. He’s a great player and the extension implies his personal troubles (presumably) are behind him.

He was pretty good in the first half of the season wasn’t he? To describe him as dead wood is incredibly harsh.

He’s one of our best players on his day.

Similar to my post above wasn’t he pretty good for the first half of the season?

Last season he was injured quite a lot as well, wasn’t he?
