Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[urban genie]

If the fee.is amy more than £20M then don't bother, over rated bang average player.

Put him in the same catagory as the idiotic notion last year that ings was worth buying by some

 

[Blue Llama]

Are you paying for a top long-term quality after detailed scrutiny or are we going to overpay for a 27-year-old, not a top-class player from a nearly-relegated side? It's simply ridiculous.

His 19 games for England don't count?

United wants de jong.
De jong want champions league so wont go united. He wants us.
City considers de jong but wont pay 80 million euros.
With that money city can buy cocurella and phillips.
City needs left back as well.
So phillips is the choice.
barca need to do the business as soon as possible in order to but other targets like lewandowsky.
Barca wont buy or exchange dejong with sterling.
We want to offload sterliing as he is in the last year of his contract.
Sterling doesnt want to go arsenal or spurs (which he considers downgrade).
Real and barca do not come for sterling.
so the domino effect...

Am sure Tolmie said last week a third deal was done?

 

[melrose40yarder]

No just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.

Like every other player we have sign past season.

"Not player we need" and then few season later the line is aged pretty well.

Gladly eat humble pie if he comes and is any good.

Philips alledged release clause was only dependent on relegation, so Leeds would want nearer 40 mil for him, Barca have, already if reports are correct decided to take a loss on DeJong to the tune of £15M so would be available for around £50M.

For me no brainers, philips wouldn't get a look in if these reported figure were true.

You won't have to, he is not an upgrade or on level with what we have and never will be, rather see us keep zivchenko and use him as a converted deep lying midfielder as back up to rodri, he would still be better than philips.
