Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[The slaughtered lamb]

£42m sounds more like it, rather than the £60m some were happy with.

 

[oldius]

I rate Gyabi and it would be nice to think we have a buy back or sell on clause in there. Let's hope this deal for Phillips now proceeds without hindrance.

Prior to his lengthy injury

hope he's not booked in my doctors for medical because they only do phone consultations and if any doubt off to A&E in fact everyone sent to a&e

 

[TonyM]

He didn't even have a release clause. We'll done Txiki.

Prior to his lengthy injury

are you implying that it's even more impressive as he would have more caps if it wan't for injury?

or are you implying he may not be the same player (post-injury) that won all of those caps?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Tremendous business from Txiki yet again. £51m for Haaland, £42m for Phillips. Txiki masterclass.

Yes....
Hope he proves me wrong...... and he isn't another Santa Roque Cruz.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Don't worry. we are shit hot on medicals, as you all well know.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Can't pretend I wanted us to sign him but I trust Pep to make it work.

 

[Paul1970]

Great signing for us and he will be a beast once he settles down

 

[Didsbury Dave]

you had this one from day one, DD. cheers for sharing that info throughout this

Thanks mate. I did indeed get the steer on this one.

[SanPellegrini]

Shame his England career is now over

But happy to have him at City. Could be a great signing and decent replacement for Fern

 

[Retro_Citizens]

And people really thought it will be £60m

 

[remember arthur mann]

Meanwhile over at the swamp......

 

[eyalluvitt]

Leeds fans are NOT happy about the fee. So another added bonus there.

100m to the Gravelly hill Galacticos for JG “a disgrace paying so much, even for an England international , ruining football
42m to the Yorkie Puds for Buster “a disgrace paying so little for an England international, ruining football

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Hope to be pleasantly surprised by this kid. Not seen enough of him to place him as City class. Hope he succeeds and wins the lot.

So how does £42m - £45m suddenly become £45m - £50m ?

Leeds briefed reporters are saying a higher fee. Wonder why? ;)
