No idea, likely making sure the exit is as amicable as possible.

Leeds have offered him another pay rise but he's obviously ambitious.

I suppose we should remember we have five subs next summer, that should really work in the favour of purchases such as this.

Kalvin is Leeds through and through. Going to be hard to get him I reckon, not as straightforward as we think. But 5 subs next season helps. Also from his interview with Ian Wright he seems a really nice guy he still plays Sunday league with his mates

Read some comments on a Leeds forum yesterday, and they seem to be quite accepting that he'll leave this summer. In some respects, their 'near-death' brush with relegation has given them a little reality check, so it's not like taking Grealish from Villa when their fans were still harboring ambitions of Europe and then top four. Deep down, Leeds fans begrudgingly know that Phillips will need to leave if he wants to win things soon. They would love a huge fee, understandably, but seem to be grounded enough to realize that that is quite unlikely in the circumstances.

We've done business with them in the past with Harrison, and we have some good options out on loan and in the academy, so I'd be surprised if we cannot arrive at a decent package that suits all parties. To paraphrase what one Leeds fan wisely pointed out, Phillips will want to leave in a deal that means he can leave the club and return to it via the front door, not the back door. Won't be easy, as you say, but should be doable.

They took Ian pavada as well and a fair few players have swapped youth systems we seem to have a decent relationship agreeing reasonable compensation instead of the tribunal route of Liverpool.

If this goes ahead, a stipulation in the contract needs to be he to gets rid of those stupid fucking shoes.

I'm not keen on his hairstyle either, but then I'm an old git.

It pays dividends to foster good relationships with other clubs. That might be harder with other top-six English clubs, naturally, but it's self-destructive with other clubs.

They are close to taking one of our well known young players on loan for next season although that may have been just if they were in the championship.

We also interchange hospitality and temporary staff with them.

Felix would not be that hard to get either. Atletico have been fucked twice already To do with transfers.

Morata was supposed to be a Juve player for 40 mil euros. Juve have gone back on that so now he’s stuck at Atletico.

Villa stole Boubacar Kamara when people at Atletico thought he was 100% done to them Villa came in with higher wages and hijacked the deal within a couple of hours. He was a free which meant they didn’t have to spend money on a DM, now they have to spend to get one.

Darwin Nunez is 100% wanted by Simone but they need 60 to 70 million to come in before even trying for him as they don’t have the funds.

a 80 mil bid from us for Felix Atletico would bite our hands off.

We will not put an 80m€ bid for him after signing Haaland and Alvarez, we don't need him. And the club will probably use Jesus's money on Cucurella and Phillips. I don't know why he is still a wet dream for many City fans. The only attacking player that we need is a direct winger if Sterling or Mahrez could leave the club.

Delap, McAtee or Lavia? Lavia would make sense if they`re losing Phillips
