Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[CatMan]

You decided was only a 6. The rest of us thought it was a stupid comment.

That's right, he is only a 6, nothing more! Do you struggle with comprehension or something?

You clearly believe he can play elsewhere. Quite where I have no bloody idea!

I held off saying this earlier because you're likely to get the "he's not a DM comments."

But, realistically, I think anyone claiming the drop off between Rodri and de Jong would be more significant than the drop off between Rodri and Kalvin Phillips is kidding themselves.

Plus, we get an extra body in centre mid.

Plus plus, he's actually a quality player.

I would be okay with getting de jong to provide "cover" for the 6 position in some games and rotate in the 8 position for others.

I want to say all day that we overpaid for philips if the fee is 60M. But city always gets it right. Idk how. Maybe not as good as liverpool but we really do. I trust our scouts.

When we signed dias for 60M. More than half of our fanbase were craving for overpaying. Look at him now.

Same for cancelo when we paid 50M. He did need some time but now he's the best lb in the league.

Kdb a chelsea reject. 65M. Similar but now he is the best player in the league.


I trust our system and there were only few failures (mendy, Mangala) other than that some may insist jack but be patient like we did with cancelo. Jack will perform

Gosh, why are u comparing Cancelo who was a player for Juventus and Inter, top Italian sides, and Ruben Dias who has been the best defender during the Nations League in 2019 to Kalvin Phillips? Just not the same level ;)

Can people stop bringing up bissouma ffs. He’s currently under investigation for sexual assault.

Where has 60 million come from? Or are some mad over nothing.

The reason Kalvin is 60 mil is simple. He’s an English international and he’s a prem player.

De Jong is three times the player Phillips is.

Why are you thinking about a potential midfielder transfer as a cover and making some rotation in the 8 position? Back-Up in City doesn't exists, we need a potential starting player also for the future, especially after paying 60M£ lol

Delaney. "A deal possibly up to 60m". So naturally its 60m

It just makes total sense with an ageing Gundogan and even Kev. Fill in for Rodri when we need him to, have him play as an eight at other times and then see who is available next year.

But I'll shut up now before I derail the thread.

He is a totally different level of player though and would fit us like a glove. Shame if we let him go down the road.

Okay, now I'll stop.

please Txiki
