Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[peps bald head]

For me, it's the same situation as with Gabriel Jesus leaving Palmeiras to join City. Probably will settle well. And Alvarez is much more similar to Werner from RB Leipzig times than to Muller IMO, but that comparison is very, very interesting.

Think its their last game today

The only way I can see Felix happening is if we send both Sterling and Jesus to Atletico in return.

So Foden, Grealish, and Felix would be the next David Silva? As I said before, we have tons of players similar to him and zero direct and fast wingers.

I dont mind fast wingers as long as they have superior technical ability i.e Sane

 

[Keeper!]

Phillips gives us something we have lacked since Fern's legs have gone, lateral movement. He is very comfortable shifting side to side, whereas Rodders likes to break the lines and is much more up and down.

I don't want to slag Rodders, he's magnificent, but both goals conceded at the weekend had an element of his failings in them?

He couldn't get back in for the first and was caught ahead of the ball. The second one, he is the wrong side of Watkins for the flick.

Rodri has dragged us through games in recent weeks and being able to sub him during matches next season for Phillips will be a huge benefit.

Rodri has been magnificent for the last 2 seasons but gets flogged to death, it cost us at the end of last season and it nearly did this year, he needs some help, Philipps and ideal foil bringing athleticism and aggression.

His contract with RP runs until July 7 so he will play the round of 16 of Libertadores Cup

We dont need him, a waste of a signing

He's 3 years older than Jesus was when he joined City, and is older than Foden. A later developer than those two, but you'd hope he is ready to start as he'll turn 23 half way through next season.

I think Philips is underrated. He’s going to start a lot of games for us if it happens

Good video here showing tenacity and speed. And quite a few clever balls, could imagine some of those dinks over the defensive line for Erling to run onto
