You agreeing is making me think twice.

hahaha, thought it would.
If it helps, i was calling for us to get Phillips at the start of the season.

Hilarious that on this particular topic loads of people believe Miguel fucking Delaney on the price?!

Exactly. I'm looking forward to sky's haaland calculated transfer fee. We're paying over £100m

Yeah,i became a convert when i started watching him at every opportunity.

I think we will both be very happy soon.

I've never really understood this aspect of the forum, you get a bunch a City fans together in the pub to discuss Kalvin Phillips and you'll get a mixture of opinions, he's hardly a universally popular addition.

Very true. I don’t know if it’s because you don’t know who you’re talking to but definitely more agreement here. If a rag jumped in and said what a poor signing Phillips was the City fans would probably close ranks though, even down the pub :)
(not suggesting there are any posting on this topic).

Is this the Philips thread or the brexit thread?

Extreme polarised views on this players.

Fee is too high! We can buy better!

Unfortunately, this will lead to Kalvin getting abused as soon as he gets caught in possession or misplaces a pass.

We have attacks on Txiki if the media inform us that we did not buy the next exotic young player for 80m. 5 min later we have a thread defending the club’s financial transfer dealings. You know deep due diligence on each player etc etc.

So which is it? I have seen it in the Grealish thread. It must be due to the player being English and coming from a team in England. Jude does not get the same scrutiny for example.

The club seem capable of buying good players. The trophies and commercial growth show our success.

Philips looks a good player with a good attitude. He will never be Fern. Give him a chance and the fee will be what the club are happy to pay.

Transfer fees seem to be a fan obsession due to the lies spread in the MSM.

£30-£40 million and I could understand it, as that’s probably his value and enough to pay for a squad player.

£60 million for this guy and it just stinks of lazy recruitment.

That's a piss poor statement to make about this club no matter your opinion on any particular player decision...using the word "lazy" to describe anything City do is actually shameful and goes clearly beyond the realm of a rational opinion...just like some on here over react to any bit of questioning regarding the club's decisions others get carried away with way over the top, reckless statements...yours is certainly one of those....just sayin'...

If Kalvin's name was João and he played for Lisbon or Lazio it would be a different narrative on here.

??? Who cares what fans of other clubs think of our spending?

Net spend trophy is pretty prestigious to win.
