Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[Danny Hoekman]

Not seen much of him personally. A Leeds supporting associate, who obviously watches him week in, week out, says he's decent but lacks any sort of pace and doesn't think he is at our level.

That’s my main concern, pace. Our midfield is wonderful but if it lacks anything it’s a bit of power and pace.

Had a little nosy at the threads on Fernandinho when we signed him. Fair few people suggested that his fee was outrageous, that he was a jack of all trades but a master of none, and that his lack of Brazilian caps at his age proved he wasn't really a top player. A lot of very underwhelmed posters. Similar to a lot of the negativity in this thread.

I'm not saying that Phillips will turn out to be half as good as Ferna, but it is interesting how people are oddly obsessed with what they see as a value for a player. Ultimately a player is either a success or a failure, it's binary. There isn't a 'fee' at which a player is less of a failure nor a 'fee' at which a player becomes more of a success.

Yep and why every player we sign should be judged after a season or two under pep coaching.

Don't think Cityxtra 'come out' with anything.
Thwey aggregate what others have said and it's up to you to assess its veracity.

It’s 2022 and yet people still don’t understand what Twitter news aggregators are. Mental isn’t it.
