Foden made buses too, but I guess that name would be more appropriate if he was a rag.

Plus of course Edwin Foden's son, Edwin Richard Foden, who founded ERF trucks.

So through most of the 20th century, the Foden family ran two successful heavy commercial vehicle manufacturing companies, Foden in Sandbach, and ERF in Middlewich.

Great news. Be good if him and Diaz were tight and he could persuade him to stay as well.

He signed that off "playing for this club means everything". Fuck! Almost brings a tear to the eye.

All of us are fans - imagine being in his position and playing for City. It's absolutely mental!

I think a 6 year deal is a pretty good indicator.

Not at all. Im not trying to be negative but its not like we would've offered him a 2 yr deal. 6 years keeps a promising "youngster" on our books for a long time and lets the club really figure out what to do with him. if we're not gonna keep him it allows us time to sell him with year left on his deal and get a good return, and it also prevents him from walking away sooner rather than later if he doesnt like the way things are going. 6 years, frankly, means nothing. he could keep getting 20 minutes per match next season and then force his way out

Cant see it. CM of Bernardo and Gundogan.

I'll shocked if he doesn't, he started our dead rubbers in CL last season, granted this isn't quite dead, more of a on life support rubber but I think he'll start, that's why the contract announcement was made this week too I reckon.

If he doesn't play tomorrow he might as well tear up that contract.
