Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[L4EV]

And in general playing under Southgate. I watch Rice for England and he looks very limited at times, yet for West Ham he has been their best player and someone i've been really impressed with. Hoping Phillips is a similar case.

Imo it is as long as Pep can get the best out of him

Can't judge a player on that performance last night.

Just the same if he'd had a blinder.

hope he doesnt read it then................... ;-)

There's some proper embarrassing pap in this thread. I can understand people not rating a player, but the relentless nature of a small minority means it is almost unreadable.

Basically if you feel the need to repeat every four hours "he's fucking shite, I hate him, he's average, he's not good enough", that adds nothing whatsoever to the forum and is a total waste of bandwidth. Still, each to their own.

He's no Tal Ben-Haim or Scott Sinclair, but not everyone can be a legend

Right, well, I obviously meant in the pep era. There was plenty of uninspiring signings before, fair enough..

His name doesn’t end with a vowel. It’s a no for me.

He would play a very similar position to what he played last night i think but obviously with better players around him and a much greater tactical structure as well which is something i think Southgate just doesn't have.

The amount of times he was given the ball last night in horrible areas because certain players just panicked in certain positions totally set him up to fail last night. Yes he didn't have a great game, but when your in such a critical position for the way England set up and you're surrounded by pretty much 10 other players having stinkers, you're going to struggle.

Not sure what part of the game he excels at. Seems to be ok on the ball but not great. Not the tallest so not great in the air. Doesn’t seem particularly quick although seems to have a lot of energy. Fouls a lot.

So on balance I can’t see him adding anything to our squad let alone the starting 11.

£60m will likely be the maximum figure including add-ons. The fans taking that as gospel and whinging about it are the same ones happy to use £51m as the Haaland figure.

Not to mention that figure originates from Delooney.

£45-50m as quoted by Athletic this morning is the more likely one.
