Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[DeBlueLou]

Phillips is a very good option for City but if the fee is up around 50m, and there is no clause, i'd aim for other venues... Although if Pep has asked for him there's no changing his mind :S

 

[Gumzy97]

Seems every transfer target, we are targeting are players that can come straight in to the team and know how to play our way straight away.

Kalvin Phillips knows how to play that 6 role.

Cucurella knows how to play as an overlapping fullback and as a fullback that can play in inverted. Since he’s done it this season at Brighton.

Pretty much spot on. But question is are they ready to pay 100m for both? City did get their strikers for the price of Ferrans fee basically. City now have around 40 odd mil from Jesus. Add to that the 120m they had planned to spend on Kane last summer. Seems like theyll just go for their main men now and dont give a f*ck. They have the money.

If kalvin is fucking about with his decision then we need to move on. No clause no deal.

The club can’t afford to fuck about this summer relying on Rodri. It would be the Sergio issue all over again.

Set a deadline and move on.

We are still in May and he's away with England, think we have a bit of time to play with.

The lad should be demanding a move. Anything short of that and we should look elsewhere. Dragging this out only to pay the fee anyway is pointless. Get it wrapped up or move on.

the players have a short break now dont they and then join up?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

That is unfair to Gundo considering the past few seasons and also in comparison to Phillips who was out for much longer

Dont think its unfair its just the reality. Gundo is 31 and has had 2 very serious knee injuries in his career.

He hasn’t been out with injuries for long in a few seasons. Players recover

Calm down mate, the lad’s on holiday ffs.

 

[waspish]

Maybe the buyout clause is if a team comes in for him who are in the champions league?

His back is fucked. You can see it strapped up at the match. He’s said as much himself.

Again, players play with pain. That was KdB at the beginning of the season

All points to him not playing regularly into his mid 30's though.

He’s been featuring in rotation and Sterling even commented that he (Gundo) wishes he played even more.

It's his home club he most definitely shouldn't demand a move at this stage he should be looking for an amicable departure, no rush.

 

[DeBlueLou]

That weirdo Grimes is saying City submitted a bid for Phillips, so i guess the deal is off as she usually gets things on opposite of how it works out, haha!

Why? Lol its the team he supports, if City want him they can sort the fee with Leeds. I think he would be happy to join us but I can't see him forcing a move. He is happy at Leeds, he is playing for a club he loves in front of fans that love him, starting for his country and earning great money. Kane was a different story he could go down in history as the greatest player to never win anything and even then he refused go fully pull the trigger. If he forced a move I honestly don't think I would want him respect the people that helped you get where you are, if he was willing to do that to club he loved what impact would he have here if he wasn't kept happy.

Stop it mate. You're showing huge naivety. "Demanding" a move is the one thing that he certainly won't be doing, and quite right.

There's a respectful way to do transfer in England between PL clubs but it rarely happens. Suspect City have a decent enough relationship with Leeds that it won't be as acrimonious as Grealish or Lescott.
