Phil Foden - 2017/18 performances

[Mikejl]

Want West Ham to do well also MP, but Pelligrinis record with youngsters is atrocious, 3-0 up at home against relegation fodder and keeps Ambrose on the bench just one example - so it’s a no from me. Keep Phil and get him 10-15 apps next season which for an 18 yr old would be a great achievement and an increase on this season

His record with youngsters in Spain is very different to with us just ask Isco, maybe with less pressure to win every game and less big players to keep happy he would revert to his previous self and develop Foden like he did Isco.
Foden may play a bigger part if he stays with us than last season but doubt he would start many games outside early league cup rounds.

excellent news. i honestly think we have a potential world class youngster on our hands. next season he should get a lot more game time/starts. theres no excuses now we have local players who is talented enough.

Just coming on to post this in celebration.

He needs to stay with us to train with the first team, be coached by Pep and his lieutenants, and get game time throughout the season. He will learn far more here, at his age, than loaned out somewhere else.

Exactly.

For me he shouldn't go on loan ever. IMO one of the main reasons he hasn't played more is that he is so small physically. Ability wise he is more than ready. Looking forward to seeing more of him next season.

Manchester City are reportedly set to offer Phil Foden a bumper five-year contract extension next week.

Great news about both the contract and not loaning out.

Too many of out kids although getting game time get no closer to the first team even if they have fantastic loans.

Interview with Phil Foden for Port magazine.

Maybe reading too much into this, but he's wearing a number 11 tracksuit, and with Mahrez apparently set to take 26, could it be Phil up for promotion as our number 11?
