Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[toffee balls]

Hi guys, hope you’ve all had a good weekend. I’ve just done a full breakdown of Kalvin Phillips and what City supporters can expect of him once he arrives for those interested. It’s obviously a signing that won’t make headlines compared to someone like an Erling Haaland but is brilliant in it’s own right. I’d love to hear your thoughts and as always, am happy to answer any questions you may have in mind. Cheers!

Enjoyed that.

Yep, not a flash signing but potentially a very smart one. His aggression and mobility should complement Rodri’s skillset very well, no point just signing a lesser clone of your main man when you can expand the options available to the coach

As well as his aggression and tactical awareness, Phillips has an excellent passing range which won't have gone unnoticed by Pep.

I don’t understand why players always have to be compared to similar previous purchases like Rodwell,completely different era and team,to compare is just wrong,is this a by product of the modern social media age ?

Because some of our ‘new’ ‘football Twitter’ fans are plastic dickheads

Enjoyed that.

And much as I despise the entitlement of some of our newer international fans, some of whom have appeared on here lately and caused absolute havoc, that was really really good.
Kudos my man, full respect to that very informed analysis.
Like @tolmie's hairdoo etc, I also miss the contributions from Gus
Ok he was occasionally confrontational and rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way with his syntax, but his analysis of South American and Spanish/Portuguese media was invaluable and usually on point.
I hope he returns one day

I wish he'd hurry up and sign. The kind of love he has for Leeds could see him have a last minute change of heart. He won't but i just want it done and dusted.

Leeds fans seem to think theres been some problem with his medical on their forum

I think he's still on holiday - there was an article somewhere saying that he's back on the 30th

Don't know how reliable this is

I’ve seen this doing the rounds too. Whispers that he failed. Absolutely no idea what / who the original source is though.

Just a reminder that Roque Santa Cruz passed a medical.

Need some concrete proof rather than some hearsay from online forum.
