Kalvin Phillips

[HaalandEffect]

And pay him in full and not get a sniff of a transfer or loan fee?

If clubs wanted him he will already be sold last season. Just for low tier marked are interessed?

City obviously don't want the humiliation of having to pay a big money signing to leave, but they are basically being delusional keeping him around and praying someone is dumb enough to buy him.

Just take the headlines and get it over with.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I know he only signed what he was offered but part of that although unwritten is to actually try!!!!!

Maybe we should take some bad PR, we get loads anyway and make his stay a bit untenable......get Warwick Davis to follow him round, it'd get me to leave ;)

Imagine a professional footballer scoring a penalty. Unheard of. I'm nearly 60 I reckon I could put it away still.

To be fair its quite the achievement in our team

Chelsea have just done it with Sterling, cant we do same with Philip's? Try negotiate a settlement and terminate contract

They've pretty much paid Sterling what he was owed for the length of the contract and wrote off £15million from the books.

Chelsea had to pay Sterling £20m for him to leave though.

The fact we haven’t settled with Phillips yet would suggest his agent is playing hard ball on the money he’s owed across the rest of his contract.

There is literally no incentive whatsoever for City in paying up the full value of his contract for him to leave - we don’t have to play him, and we don’t have to include him on any of our squad lists. We owe him the money anyway, so it doesn’t really matter how we pay it to him.

As long as he’s not a disruptive influence in the squad (which, to be fair, I can’t imagine he would be), then it’s on him if he wants to settle at a reduced figure so he can try and get his career back on track.

Otherwise he’ll turn up to training for the next two and a half years, collect his wages, and reconcile with the fact his career is pretty much finished.

And he’ll retire very rich man, which I’m sure will go some way to consoling him that he torpedoed his career at City.

I know we as fans want him off the books, but there’s no benefit to the Club in doing this if he isn’t prepared to negotiate.

The longer he hangs around the more it’s talked about, as previous poster said just get rid and take the hit and associated publicity

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Im just shocked a professional football players (who's already minted) doesnt want to play football. He should be angling for a move to anywhere that will take him. Hed still get a decent move on good money. So its just down to motivation?

Bit different tbh mate. Its not every kid and grown mans dream to be an accounant. Being a footballer playing infront of thousands of people cherring you on each week and to play for your country is many peoples dream.

 

[BlueMerlin]

He could do a job in the Championship at a club like Wrexham but would have to take a pay cut. But if he’s a serious footballer he should take the cut and find a job ffs.

The only place it's spoken about is here.

Don’t usually post itk stuff on here but I have heard something on Phillips.

Basically the club are waiting on an order for football mannequins to arrive. Production has slowed so city are keen to keep hold of Phillips as currently he is the closest thing they have to the missing mannequins ( links below)

It might be your dream, yet not his. Not everyone enjoys their job, but will tolerate it if the money is good enough.

I know Stephen Ireland claimed to hate playing football but it was the only thing he knew.

Probably has as many still alive.

Does he actually train though? What would be the point
