Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[RandomJ]

Leeds fans are NOT happy about the fee. So another added bonus there.

I know that The Athletic doesn’t have a great reputation with City fans. But wasn't Ornstein saying that the Haaland "unveiling" was imminent? And it happened very shortly afterwards. Does he have pretty good connections inside the club, or is he a chancer who got lucky with the Haaland call?

Ornstein is considered a top tier journalist but usually his info is based around the London clubs.

The two deals as separate you can’t knock 5 million off and forget the player Leeds sign.

The fee is £42 million

No you can't but in an accounting sense you can.

£37m on a 5 year deal (Gyabi being free) is £7.4m a year (without wages).

£42m on a 5 year deal (Gyabi being £5m) is £8.4m a year but just £3.4m this year (without wages).

So in an accounting sense it's been done to give us better options this summer.

35m is a great price.
