How would everyone feel if Jesus and Sterling both went to Chelsea, there's talk of it happening but I would be surprised if it came off. Not the worst rival to go to, but I'd prefer them to go abroad if we were to sell?

Fair comment. I’d say Sanchez would have probably done very well if he’d come to us, not so much Maguire, although his faults wouldn’t have been shown up as much.
With Phillips, we’re probably looking for a very specific type of player who does what he does very well - breaks up play and passes the ball to feet for the better players do the damage - more Jorginho than de Jong.
I actually think Phillips has got a decent range of passing. He loves a big diagonal in behind opposition full backs. Suspect it's one of the major reasons that City want him.

I think gabby would be sensational under tuchel so don’t want him to go to Chelsea, would be amazed if sterling went there though. Would be better if both went abroad though

Maybe he should go for number 20Doubt the difference would be anything more than negligible for City, whereas Haaland is apparently wanting to build a brand around 9.
Tbh, I think people are reading more into the number of his shirt as a kid than necessary.
H20 gets everywhere
Oh I agree mate, I think he’s going to be 9 but it just opened it up to a conversation that maybe he was going to take his dads number?
Possibly - I just saw the pic and assumed the more pertinent part was it said 'Dad'. Ah well, speculation is what the forum is about

That’s good to hear. I know defensively he can be a pain in the backside for the opposition, just from his performances for England. I can understand the doubts from some fans but it’s definitely an upgrade on Fernandinho of the last two seasons, and no doubt Pep has a plan for him, so I’m relaxed about it.I actually think Phillips has got a decent range of passing.

It will be 60m but will include transfer fee, add ons, wages, reported in euros……I don’t think the Phillips deal will be anywhere close to the numbers mentioned but the deal must be close if the bullshit figures are coming out!
In reality we get an English international, premier league proven replacement for Fernandinho (in addition to rodri)
Watched a city video of gundogan doing some coaching with the under 16’s and that was a huge part of what he was teaching and how we build play which I can only imagine comes from Pep and how he’s drilled the players. Was a really interesting watch and something pep clearly wants from certain players.I actually think Phillips has got a decent range of passing.

We are a far better team than Leeds and we obviously want to add his qualities to our already top level team
He is also super fit if you take out the injuries
If we even sell one of them to Chelsea we should be bringing Reece James the other way.How would everyone feel if Jesus and Sterling both went to Chelsea, there's talk of it happening but I would be surprised if it came off.

For me he is the perfect city player, can play full back, wing or midfield and has a great footballing brain.
If not we should just say no chance we sell to a champions league rival
