It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Theres one problem there is that hes shit and if he plays were considerably weaker

He isn’t shit at all, he’s a good player and was recognised as Englands Player of the Year, above Kane et Al. He just hasn’t shown he is capable of playing in Peps team, he is unsuitable to play our game.

 

[Blueroses]

100% he is. He's performed on biggest stages and shined and has plenty of experience at only 26 years of age.

A tireless worker, a creative spark, a player that can chip in with goals and assists. Pep will absolutely love him.

We should be ALL over this.

Perfect Gundo replacement but italians like their home town and don’t leave for lifestyle reasons. Tough one don’t want imagine him saying two season from now he wants to leave…

Simple answer is to play Phillips if he isn't moving. We signed him for the purpose of covering Rodri. We aren't going to waste more money in bringing in another unsuitiable replacement.

He ain’t good enough unfortunately.
When he steps on the pitch he looks like a deer caught in the headlights.
His style of play looks too safe for us, too much sideways passing cos he’s scared of giving the ball away.
Yeah there’s a time and a place for that, just not all the time.
Could he turn it round?
Probably, but he’d need time and minutes to do that, which he ain’t gonna get unless we’re 3 or 4 nil up cos ‘we’ don’t trust him.
Doesn’t help knackered Rodri out.
Needs to leave unfortunately.

This, Kalvin just coming from injury when our team already evolved in term of tactic last season leading him not being needed in our team anymore and just being considered a surplus.

Just because he isn't needed for us that doesn't mean he is a shit, he still good player that will suitable for other top team that will suits their tactic for someone of his skills set.

 

[skillman]

Haha. Postpone because then we can't swoop in when/if he's proven innocent?

important to note re Phillips winning England player of the year. It was a fan vote and Leeds fans basically hijacked it online. Phillips is a very limited footballer who was made to look good by bielsa‘s system. Before bielsa Phillips struggled getting a game for Leeds. He will never be good enough for a top side and sadly was just an awful buy

This is so fucking shady… did the corrupt fucks just postpone it so city can buy him?

This is so fucking shady… did the corrupt fucks just postpone it so city can buy him?

Or postpone it so we cant buy him?

Has no relevance now since we’ve walked away. They’ve delayed it to make sure they can better prepare to face FA.

I get that and if we did take his weak points into consideration we would of passed on the opportunity first time. The only issue replacements are thin on the ground for this time around.
