Kalvin Phillips

But did you give your medals back for being an undeserving little so and so? ;-)

Everything I won was fully deserved and Implayed a major part in winning them. Kalvin wasn’t a bad player, we actually signed ‘England’s Player of the year’. He was just not suited to Peps way of playing, he’ll do well at West Ham
 
West Ham, he’s won more than you. ;-)

Good luck to him. Never saw his arse about not being played. Enjoyed being part of the squad since he signed for City, during the treble winning season, and the 5 trophies year. Always had a smile on his face on the OS videos and pictures. Bar not getting much game time, I honestly believe he enjoyed his time at City and will leave with fond memories of his time at City.

He played about 2 games less than Palmer and Gomez, and about 60 minutes less in total in all comps. Should they hand their medals in, too?

Be it one minute or a thousand plus. If a squad member contributes then they have earned their medals and you back them, not come out with drivel that they should hand their medals back.

It really is that simple, well, if you’re a Blue that is.

Some people call themselves 'fans' of our team and don't think twice about giving a player shit!

The lad's never complained as far as I know and was always happy for the lads, even if he couldn't break into the main team.

I hope he goes there, smashes it, gets his confidence and gives Guardiola something to think about when he comes back.

I just want him to rediscover his confidence.

Hope he's a roaring success, not just because it ensure we at least get our money back on him ( I actually think if he has a good spell at west ham. He's easily a £60 million player in this market,

In this market where nobody can buy anybody ?

FFP has fucked the market.

No inside info. But just logically, Kalvin is being moved co Pep couldn't get him any playing time. So there really aren't any minutes coming open by his departure.

In other words, whether we bring someone in or not is totally unrelated to whether Kalvin was moved.

I'm hoping this leaves a space in the squad for one of our brilliant youth players.

We are pretty much self sustaining already, our club is easily the best run in the world.
 
I wanted to reply to the post that said he should give his medals back but the pillock has deleted the post - what an utterly stupid thing to say. For whatever reason Pep didn’t fancy Kalvin as a player but he NEVER showed a bad attitude and NEVER let it affect him. He is a thoroughly likeable lad who supported his team mates, didn’t sulk, respected the fans and I begrudge him nothing. I wish him well at West Ham if that’s where he goes. Nice club for a nice lad
 
I’ve been thinking about this. It hasn’t worked out well for us, or him, with Kalvin, but his conduct has been exemplary. Why would it enter someone’s head to go onto a public forum and say he should give all his medals back? There’s no reason for it, it’s just very bitter and twisted and completely unnecessary. What does any individual gain by him giving his medals back? I’m just pleased for him that he’s go then and wish things had gone better for him.

It's utterly insane for some people to shown that kind hatred against him.

I mean i know he is not good enough player and that is warrant criticism. But showing that kind of hatred like he killed the hater family member or something it's just becoming pathetic at this point.
 
It's plainly ridiculous to suggest that he return his medals, but it's also ridiculous to hold Phillips up as having shown nothing but exemplary behaviour in his time with us. After all, Guardiola publicly criticised him for returning from the World Cup in poor physical shape, and the manager very rarely criticises his own players. It's a shame things have not worked out for him here and I wish him well.

Other than being a bit overweight, and that’s what it was, what else has he done?

I would think Pep might have had an issue with the England manager tbh as that’s whose custody Kalvin had been in. Not sure Pep would have mentioned it publicly otherwise. Anyway I’m not going to criticise a man for having a pie too many, a man after my own heart

It’s telling it has been deleted, however it was quoted a few times and is still there to see.

Palmer and Gomez too were mentioned about not earning medals. You’d have thought that after listening to the manager the last 7 years and seeing what he has built, team harmony, team ethic, team work and what a squad is would be there for all to see that regardless of how many minutes you put in, if you have contributed to that squad you have earned your stripes.

Very bizarre to have gone in like that on Phillips. Luckily that particular view point is very few and far between.
