Are you mad?I would absolutely sacrifice Alvarez for Kane if that was even an option...
I thought he was poor again when he came on. Gave the ball away in dangerous positions akanji got a card on the back of one of his mistakes. He looks uniterested and the game passes him by. Definitely get rid asap he is no challenge to Rodri and dangerous coverIt's clear as anything that Romeo Lavia should've been kept around this season and it would've saved the money we're likely to lose on Phillips and the 40mil of activating Lavia's buy-back. Plus he'd likely have seen more game time and put in better performances.
I'd say Phillips' city career has easily been the most underwhelming of all the first team signings. At first you're thinking 45mil for a player who will give Rodri rest playing at 6 and maybe even do a stint in 8 very occasionally and should hopefully within the season get to grips with the system. If you couldn't stream citys recent FA cup games you'd potentially forget he was even part of the squad.
I'm aware Phillips can't choose to play himself and part of it lies with Guardiola, city's current position and form meaning we dont want to rest Rodri who's been arguably our best player this season. But we look elsewhere at players who arguably didnt set the world alight for us in their first season... rodri himself, sane, mahrez. They all had more of an impact in their first season and actually benefitted from the playing time in important games to help adjust Even NOLITO had more of an impact in his first season than Phillips has had. A man most forget pep signed due to his insignificance that season.
By hardly seeing anything all season and hearing/reading relevant reports, I think it says enough, leeway would be given if he was 20-23 years old like some of the others mentioned and had to move across the world but my guy could get away without moving house after the transfer ffs, just disappointing.
I hope soPhillips will be a Hammer next season
Not if they're relegatedPhillips will be a Hammer next season

Said it months ago.Phillips will be a Hammer next season
That's what haaland was singing to gvardiol when he scored his 5th'Here I am, take me in your arms and love me'...
Kane best player in the world ?Julian is a good un,his potential is wonderful,but he doesn't command a starting spot where as Kane most definitely would.
Would we benefit more from 2 or 3 years of one of the best players in the world or from a bit part player who may or may not reach those heights over the next 5 years?
Kane best player in the world ?
he says one of the best which he certainly is. probably the most complete striker.Kane best player in the world ?
He certainly is but not one we need now, short term gain but lose the potential for the future is something we wouldn’t even contemplate.he says one of the best which he certainly is. probably the most complete striker.
why are you listing wingers when we talk about kane? I'm not saying we need him but if he was available for a decent fee he is a very good option. dont buy your big picture nonsense.He certainly is but not one we need now, short term gain but lose the potential for the future is something we wouldn’t even contemplate.
Besides who would miss out for him to start regularly, Foden, Grealish, if we get the players we want Bellingham , and whoever the second midfielder is. Big picture it makes no sense.
Because we don’t play 2 strikers now so if we wanted to play Kane and Haaland he’d be taking the place of either a winger or a midfielder.why are you listing wingers when we talk about kane?

Just said this on his thread.If Gvardivol is anything over £60 million club should stay clear. There’s nothing about him that screams out a top quality centre back. Looks clumsy

I think generally you shouldn't ever be spending over 60M or thereabouts on a center back unless they're just absolutely flawless.
