What a load of absolute bollocks

Ha! Yeah, getting smashed off his tits. Definitely the way to impress the manager and get into the team.

Monday 12th- Manchester.

Whilst I don’t doubt you post in total faith, the quotes below were from Kalvin after the England games on the 19th suggesting he still hadn’t spoken to Pep and wasn’t planning to until pre-season.

‘My intention is to stay at City. We have just won the Treble, so there is no reason for me to leave. If I am not playing I will obviously have to think about it,’

‘But I cannot give it 12 months and say “I am not playing so I am going to leave”. As you have seen with many players at City, it can take quite a while to cement yourself into the team.

'Hopefully I will enjoy my off season and then work hard when I get back.

‘I will definitely speak to Pep. I don’t know whether it will be in the summer because everyone enjoys their downtime and everyone wants their space away from football so I’ll probably leave it until I go back for pre-season but I’ll just speak to him and have a good conversation.’

You still finished second in a one horse race.

Up there with Spurs finishing 3rd in a 2 horse race.

Rates him so much that he hardly played him last season, even when it was obvious to all that Rodri was blowing out of his arse? He even played Rico Lewis ahead of him

Everton away said it all.

Three-nil up, we had Real Madrid a couple of days after and Rodri was obviously knackered. Phillips got on for the last two minutes.

I’m not sure there’s any need to say anything else.

It’s seems with city now turning their attention to Rice, Kavlin will need to discuss his options now and not next month. “If not playing, I will have to think about it”. If Pep has now spoken to him and told him he won’t be getting much minutes and we will not block his departure then it don’t get much clearer than that apart from saying fuck off.

Ultimately it is up to Phillips. I have no problem with him wanting to stay and fight for a place. in fact, I hope he does really well as that in turns means city are doing well. Rodri needs help and he did not get it last season. He can’t be flogged because we have no player to help him. Imo rodders is the teams MVP. He was blowing out of his arse again and still played on. An injury to him and we don’t win the champions league Imo.

Fuck me. First, Phillips shouldn't be taking any kind of vacation. He should just be getting down to work. And now I read that he shouldn't be drinking too much after winning the treble. Do some of you live under rocks or what?

He’s coming out with ready made excuses , about performing second season , for a player on north of a hundred grand a week it’s a fucking lame excuse to basically say I’ve been on holiday for a full season and I want to prove myself , your attitude stinks I’m afraid , especially giving it the Billy big bollocks when your team mates have driven the club to a treble and youre front of stage , obviously pissed like you’ve contributed , there was no Rico, Palmer et al giving it large , and they’d contributed and scored goals to the cause , I wonder what lads like that think ? Who have done the yards through the academy ? Only to see a player with a big price on his head ballooning about with Prada shades on his head getting smashed on vodka ? Naaa , he’s not got the city ethos , every now and then we buy a dud - and he’s it.

Did he win the treble ? Or was he just associated with a team who actually did it , you know , from playing football and actually contributing?

He had close to zero on pitch involvement in our treble win, he went to the world cup even tho he hadn’t played any game time with us & instead of using that time to get fit get sharp & come back to us in peak physicality & mentally switched on he came back overweight absolutely bang out of order & totally unprofessional, every man & his dog knows peps strictness with weight, he would of heard that off his england teammates from us even before he signed for us, this isn’t Leeds where you can muck about, i think what people are saying and they are fair points, he should be using a large part of the preseason to get ready for next season but he’s drunk as nine men charging about the gaff nowt wrong with that on the face of it coz Stones, Jack etc we’re enjoying themselves but they deserve to they put a right shift in last season he’s warmed the bench, started one match, and he’s acting like he needs a big holiday and a blow out after putting so much into our treble season, he’s done nowt tbh, all these signs are red flags to Pep, he’s coming out with i’ll talk to the manager when i get back from me hols we’ll sort everything out then, give over he should ring Pep straight away & say Boss can i get any assurances on next season & i want to get in tip top shape so i’m ready to get down to the training ground 2/3 weeks early with any coaching staff who can set me a programme, that would impress Pep & make him think this lads got future with us, but Pep will see his antics & blasé comments & his general unprofessionalism & think this kids an absolute clown, we need to ship him off to WH as part the deal & bring in Rice, Phillips seems a nice bloke but he’s not got the mentality to be anywhere near our team of elite players.
