Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[southamptonblue]

Would be a hugely underwhelming signing. Not sure what he’s actually good at.

You don’t half talk some shite!

If he simply said he's not very good at anything but running around alot, he'd have hit the nail on the head ;)

140million?!

Thai bahts?

True, but all of our players are workmanlike, our squad as individuals work harder than any other team.....they just happen to be technically far superior to the likes of Phillips too ;)
The "superstar" argument is bollocks....poor technical players will not fit in our side, they will look lost.

What's 140m baht? A fiver? Bargain.

I just don’t believe that our scouts , Pep, Txiki, whoever it is on the footballing side would ever get someone they didn’t think they could work with. I just don’t see it. So when people say he lacks the technique or skills or fashion sense I just prefer to trust in the people that are paid a fucking fortune to get it right….and they do most of the time. An England international is not much of a risk because they’re always likely to get you your money back.. so if he is the one .. bring it on.

Declan Rice isnt going for 80. I'd take N'Golo Kante in a heartbeat.

Who will give us kante especially to rivals?? Its time he is renewing at chelsea hence the rumors. If not he will leave for free.

Kante is done in mate, barely starts for Chelsea and when he does is a yard off the pace these days. Repeated injuries and age are catching up with him. Was a great player but not what he was.

KP..this is nuts ;-)

Reminds me a little of NDJ..I suspect he could be well trained into the dark arts ala Fern. Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just an OK signing.

I hope we try to get Frenkie de Jong first before settling for Kalvin Phillips. At the very least, we'd force United to overspend a bit more.
