Foden agrees new deal

I’m 100% convinced Phil will comeback and that contract is the club committing to it and showing we have faith in him.
I think he should retire from England (I think that’s the main issue) as he gets nothing from it.
We need a player like Phil in midfield without Bernardo next year
 
He’s one of, if not best players in the league on his day, a proper city fan, local lad, proven winner and he’s in the prime of his career. Why on earth do some posters want him gone?

He’s one of the key parts of our identity as a club.

I know he’s been out of form, but is the rule now if someone’s injured/ doesn’t perform for a season and a half we get rid? No matter how good they are

I agree with a lot of what youre saying, but there is an irony in your last paragraph

There aren't many top players who just dont perform for a season and a half

Let's hope he can get himself sorted in pre season as a consistent Foden makes us a much better team
 
He always was going to agree to a new deal he is going no where!
He was never going to be allowed to run his contract down. Smart move either way by us. Either he gets his head down and works his way back up or we get fee if he doesn’t.
 
Doesn't even register as news to me I was so utterly convinced he would always be signing a new contract.

probably going to miss out on the world cup and tbh I think it will do him good in the long run rather than going, playing a peripheral part but training constantly and not having a break. Get a proper break, sort out whatever the issue has been, come back next season and be the main man he is meant to be. No excuses next year.
 
Great news that Phil has signed for another few years , no doubt he is struggling and we dont know the real reason , but the lad has been with our club for 20 years , he is the poster boy for our academy and its success , and vital he stays with the club. Cant wait to see him if full flow for the team next season.

Well he has had injuries as well. As I said we can’t just give up on such an excellent footballer
