For some reason I remember watching a guy called Paul Smith a cracking midfielder who did his knee good and proper just as he was about to break through. My first experience of stadium football, those reserve games.
Sancho's mistake was leaving Dortmund.
Phillips has got 4 medals since leaving Leeds. Doubt he sees it as a mistake
Agreed, yes.
He did play a part in that southhampton defeat in the efl!
Reflected glory. City fans deserve medals as much as he does.
He was part of the squad
Carson has the same
And made appearances in all the trophies we won. It might not have really worked out from him, thus far, with us but he deserves his medals.
yeah but he's done fuck all to deserve them!
I can assure I take no pleasure from any of this I wish he was in the process of becoming a sound squad member making a telling contribution. I just don't see this happening and see no point for him hanging around to get the odd cup game or dead rubber in Europe. He seems a nice chap and deserves better.
I am not comparing one to the other ; I am noting that they both need to move on .
A bizarre comparison to make. Had you meant Mendy and not Phillips, it would have worked better.
Carson is clearly an integral part of the goalkeeping setup Eddie spoke on it many times at the end of last season...didn't see rodri thanking Phillips for his input into the cdm department!
Don't remember Paul Smith. Seen Neil Young and Ronnie Healy play for the reserves but never for the first team. Years later I worked at Ronnie's House decorating for his son Scott, who's a good lad.
