Really torn on this. He isn't quite the player he was and he left on such a high note it seems a shame to risk his legacy at the club. On the other hand if he can produce somewhere close to his last couple of season's form he'll be a welcome addition!
He's had 12 months warm weather training in the Barça sun. He'll be fully refreshed & ready to get back to the Manchester graft... :-)
 
I don't see how this doesn't affect Foden and his playing on the wing far more than he wants. If he finds himself on the wing this season, he has every right to be pissed.

Can you imagine Pep putting a player who was bought for 100M and had just won Player of the Year the season in his preferred position back in a position that he doesn't want to play and is clearly worse at? I can't.
 
He was literally the top scorer in 2020/21 playing as a False 9.
He played in attacking midfield once that season. It was as a 65th minute substitute in the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea. A game in which Jesus played up front.

The rest of that season he almost solely played in central midfield.

He’s never played as a false 9 for us.
