Pep Guardiola on @PhilFoden: “We didn’t give Foden a new contract by accident. He is the only player that can’t be sold under any circumstances. Not even for €500m. Phil’s going nowhere - Phil IS City. We won’t be signing anyone else for that position..."
“When David Silva leaves, we know exactly who our new magician will be.”
“He’s grown up with us. He’s one of us and he’s going to be brilliant - one of the Premier League’s best. It’s better to take things slowly." [via @SunMartinB]
AND BREATHE
None of that means anything. Pep has spoken many times in the media about how Foden is the best thing since sliced bread and yet his actions don't reflect that. There's only so many times he can keep bigging him up and saying how bad he feels he isn't getting any minutes. Actions speak louder. If he truly believes what he is saying then fucking get the lad on the pitch and let him win us points.
