Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[dachoosen1]

5 subs in 3 goes.

So 3 stoppages for 5 changes joke 3 changes from a bench of 5 was grand.

No idea, likely making sure the exit is as amicable as possible.

Leeds have offered him another pay rise but he's obviously ambitious.

I suppose we should remember we have five subs next summer, that should really work in the favour of purchases such as this.

Kalvin is Leeds through and through. Going to be hard to get him I reckon, not as straightforward as we think. But 5 subs next season helps. Also from his interview with Ian Wright he seems a really nice guy he still plays Sunday league with his mates

gabby to A.Madrid and cash for Felix is surely the dream deal?

We would be like the cat that got the cream

Read some comments on a Leeds forum yesterday, and they seem to be quite accepting that he'll leave this summer. In some respects, their 'near-death' brush with relegation has given them a little reality check, so it's not like taking Grealish from Villa when their fans were still harboring ambitions of Europe and then top four. Deep down, Leeds fans begrudgingly know that Phillips will need to leave if he wants to win things soon. They would love a huge fee, understandably, but seem to be grounded enough to realize that that is quite unlikely in the circumstances.

We've done business with them in the past with Harrison, and we have some good options out on loan and in the academy, so I'd be surprised if we cannot arrive at a decent package that suits all parties. To paraphrase what one Leeds fan wisely pointed out, Phillips will want to leave in a deal that means he can leave the club and return to it via the front door, not the back door. Won't be easy, as you say, but should be doable.

Simone loves him.

He would fit their style with his aggressive pressing, Felix, with Alva/Haaland/Foden sounds sick

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Yeah I wasn’t sure on this but at that price for an England international who can do a job it really is a no brainier.

Plus he'll improve immensely under Peps guidance

They took Ian pavada as well and a fair few players have swapped youth systems we seem to have a decent relationship agreeing reasonable compensation instead of the tribunal route of Liverpool.

If this goes ahead, a stipulation in the contract needs to be he to gets rid of those stupid fucking shoes.

I'm not keen on his hairstyle either, but then I'm an old git.
