Kalvin Phillips

How is not his fault? All he's done is prance about the pitch like a bun head ballet dancer from swan lake. And us supporters who go through the turnstile parting with cash (some can hardly afford) gives them a right to be angry, especially when they've been grafting at work all week. Phillips is not earning his big fat salary or trying to earn it! And his couldn't give a fuck demeanor pisses me off tbh.

I'm sure he will send you an apology for upsetting your
" I absolutely give a fuck demeanour " .

Your right of course, he should have refused all monies offered under his contract ffs

What are you defending the useless lump of Yorkshire lard for. Can you not see he's not arsed?
 
Thats nonsense,the lad has not kept himself in peak physical condition for starters.....he clearly could and should have applied himself more.

As for the medals.....no anger......but i do find is behaviour,when he has contributed fuck all to winning them,very odd.Personally id be keeping my head down and concentrating on ensuring i did contribute to the next batch.

And we know that how? Seriously I’m intrigued how there seems to be a lot of certainty about his lack of professionalism. If it were as bad as suggested, we’d have grounds for contract termination.

Another way of looking at it, is that we are blessed to have so many knowlegeable posters who know absolutely everything regarding the personalities and traits of the players, and merely wish to let ev erybody else know too.

Very harsh analysis there mate.

Firstly, he didn't sell himself to City, and he didn't set the fee or wages. The club jumped in with both feet and threw money around, following what I can only assume was inadequate scouting / background checks.

We don't know whether or not Phillips is 'grafting' or anywhere near earning his salary, but I wouldn't for one minute think that he "couldn't give a fuck".

The lad is (in my opinion) simply out of his depth at City. He's most likely a thoroughly decent lad... one who effectively 'won the lottery' when we signed him.

I hope he gets a good move and that City do the right thing in relation to paying off his contract when he leaves.

Responsibility for any 'fault' on this occasion lies very firmly with the club, not the player.

I'll repeat.....he has not kept himself in best condition,and the fact Pep is largely ignoring him speaks volumes.

Still time for the penny to drop,and he finds himself a club where his ability is more suited and he can get hs career back on track.
 
I agree with you, signs are not there with Kalvin who hasn't been tested properly for whatever reason - not helped with the weight comment which seemed to start the pile on.
I'm not going to fly the flag for him but I find the harshness of criticism rather mean.
LOL. He was tested hundreds of times in training.
As if Pep tests players in PL matches.

I mean Guardiola literally called him out publicly for his lack of professionalism and has clearly never trusted him since.

Ok you repeated it, it must be right.

I’m genuinely interested in seeing some proof of this and if it comes, I’ll gladly swap sides on this. But i only read hearsay and gossip. Pep ignores Gomez and has ignored others. Maybe it’s about ability not training ethic.

Oh give it a fucking rest, Jesus fucking Christ.

Fuck all to do with being right,it was the simple fact id given my thinking previously and you,for some odd reason,asked again.

Even know,it seems its not sinking in.......he returned to training in a condition that was not in keeping with our standards,and with plenty to prove.....that was unacceptable.
 
Stones has been as out of favour as Phillips is before now.

I can't really say if he can reach our level or not, or at least be enough to contribute but I do think Phillips at his Leeds peak could have been enough to offer something for us.

Wouldn't be shocked if he's gone tomorrow but also wouldn't be shocked if he does fine in a Fernando/Javi Garcia mould for a couple of seasons.

He's definitely not so bad he should never be given a chance, but you do wonder when it'll come.
