For me his passing is no where near good enough

He hasn't seriously played there for years so we don't really know. Let's keep him at full back though. Beginning to get back into some form.

Agree with Mac and Flanker.
His pass was not quite there when he did do SH.
He's getting some form back now, so let's not muddy the waters.
31(?) is too old for that kind of positional change.

FB is the most exposed position on the field and when the rest of the team is not playing well you are going to get exposed. Agree Fodes can up his game, but so can the rest of the squad. Need to see Collins etc putting him under pressure for his place.

Cant see us getting a big money player to challenge Ben as he will be on a big salary and that would be too much committed on just 1 position.

I doubt ben will be on big big money, they probably played on the fact he is settled and we were good. Doubt money was a driver for him

I should think he is on a decent wedge. He'll be up there with Dylan, Courtney, Wood, Dicko etc. All the England boys I would guess would be on similar with Dylan maybe a bit more.

However, I agree money probably not the no. 1 driver with his wife earning lots.

Imagine its between 150-250k mark.

Clare said this week Foden gave a "presentation" which inspired them to win the thre prem games..................just what they needed a good powerpoint!!!

I hope ben can get back to his best, hes been a great servant of the club and deserves a lot of respect. I do however feel a young buck could help push him and also allow him to pass on his experience.
