Villa and Newcastle?

Definitely Villa.

They weren’t. He wouldn’t even entertain United because he wants to retain his status at Leeds. I do know who those clubs were though ;-)

Yeah totally forgot about the Leeds rags hatred,Chelsea and arsenal it is then or maybe Newcastle.edit opps just seen your post above,very interesting..

Neither club could offer European football.

I’m saying no more now.

Villa is one

Some interesting titbits tonight on Kalvin.

He only ever had eyes for City. He turned down bigger wages from two other premier league clubs. He also gave up on a massive loyalty bonus to sign for us.

City used all this to keep the fee low, strong arming Leeds into accepting, saying we had other potentials and would move on.

Philips got back from Kenya today and will say his goodbyes tomorrow. He also gets his new agent tomorrow who will get a whacking fee out of the move and his old agent is spitting feathers over it.

It’s another good example of how much our power has increased in the transfer market. Bayern and Madrid used to be a like this, turning the player’s head and then playing hardball. Well done cIty.

new agent a mr grealish ;)
