Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

Thats not exactly true thou, our match day income for 19/20 was £47m compared to £217m broadcast income & then you add in sponsorship deals & prize money

So do you believe that people don't pay for inflated prices sky tv and that the cost of merchandise is not inflated by the demands of football players or indeed anyone who negotiates a sponsorship?
All income is focused on interest from people who attend football matches or people who watch it on tv, the cost is passed on too people who receive the product, whatever it is.
If nobody watched football or had no interest in it just how big do you think the deals would be?

If Rodri had been injured last year we would have won nothing and the scousers the treble.

And if Rodri was injured and Philips his cover then we'd have won nothing

really strange some fans wishing player that join city to fail to prove that their claim is right because they didn't like that player.

Happens every year mate, usually with English signings. I strongly suspect for most of them it's about the player's image and profile, not their actual ability. The penny will never, ever drop that Pep knows what he is doing.

You haven't been on the board a huge amount of time,you'll find it isn't very strange at all.

Anyway,i'm with DD....i think he'll do very well here.

This is commonplace, and seemingly more true of English players.
