Not seen any stats or out,but you do get the rodwell vibe ,dunno why

Maybe because he's a mixed race English midfielder?

If you have't seen any stats or facts here are a couple of comparisons:

Jack Rodwell played a career total of 3 England caps.
Kalvin Phillips is 26 and started every game (7) on route to the European Championship final. Total caps at 26: 23.

Jack Rodwell never recieved an individual award.
Kalvin Phillips was in the Championship team of the year in both 2019 and 2020 and won England player of the year in 2021.

Jack Rodwell had just come off a season where he played 17 games in all competitions.
Kalvin Phillips has just come off his worst injury hit season and played 23 games.

Jack Rodwell was a budget option bought under the shadow of (the newly formed) FFP and as a cheap backup player to essentially replace Owen Hargreaves, a man who played just 4 times for the club.
Kalvin Phillips has been selected, in a window in which we have so much freedom, as a first choice target to replace Fernandinho, a club legend with 33 appearances last season at the age of 37.

20 more caps so far

Prior to his lengthy injury

Must leave us pretty healthy on the home grown front then, especially if Sterling stays another season.

Hope we have a buyback option on Gyabi, three or four times the fee he goes for.

My Leeds supporting MD told me the other day he's not gotten over that injury last season and looked a quarter of the player for Leeds and England since. Hope just sour grapes, get the expert physios on him and let's see if he can do it for us.

Potentially a new start at a new club and a decent summer break will be enough without any real treatment

If Pep Guardiola rates him, then he is good enough for me.

Surely after taking into account his wages, agents fee and add ons its about a 150m outlay where’s were selling Gyabi for £3 and a packet of polo mints if he does well.
