Hi. Thanks for the post and info.Not sure who’s briefed you that mate but I can categorically guarantee that we won’t be firming up our very clear interest. That’s come from somebody today at the club that is ‘in the know’ and a close mate I trust implicitly.
That’s good news re Phillips. He still might not be good enough but you can’t knock a trier.Sorry mate. I understand your info is passed on in good faith but the part about Kalvin being told he won’t get opportunities next season is just complete BS.
I literally spoke to Kalvin one week ago and he has communicated to the club he is 100% staying to fight for his place and he has been assured that he will remain a key part of the first team squad by Pep himself. He’ll get more game time next season if he impresses in training and if he takes the opportunities he’s given.
No, he said that it will mean he most likley will leave... I'm saying City doesn't have to sell him before going for a potential deal with Rice...TH literally said it does though?
His mate on here said he ain’t fucking moving!!!!!I suspect Phiips will end up at West Ham irrespective of Rice's destination.
You think I’d share every piece of info he kindly gives to me on a public forum ? He gets told snippets himself and I asked him beforehand if he was fine for me to post about what he toldHi. Thanks for the post and info.
Just wondering though - you say this is a close mate, at the club, who is ITK, who you trust implicitly.
But to have a mate this close to you, wouldn’t you have a lot of ITK news on our transfers?
Just wondering why this is the only snippet this mates told you if he’s that solid and close to you?
Fair. Just trying to sort the wheat from the chaff :)Listen we all love Tolmie but he’s said a lot of things that haven’t come to fruition.
He'll certainly take some shifting the hefty fucker....His mate on here said he ain’t fucking moving!!!!!

You seem very hostile? What happened to multiple sources of information? Clubs have more leaks than a sieve mainly due to the volume of people involved.He doesn’t get the complete ins and outs of every transfer saga. Only Txiki knows that. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying.
We are or were as the case now is interested in Rice. For a reason unknown to me (could be fee being asked, other preferred targets, player preferring Arsenal plus many other factors that influence things) we have decided not to do the deal.That’s good news re Phillips. He still might not be good enough but you can’t knock a trier.
Why did we seek out Rice if not interested? Seems a bizzare move from city. Equally, if Gvardiol comes in surely Laporte leaves. Otherwise we are stacked in that department.
If John starts instead of Kalvin next season then I can’t see how he continues here.
