Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[lee_wsm]

Remember that time we beat Watford 6-0 in an FA cup final and it was seen as a dark day for football?

Same energy.

Was a good day out that

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.

Fucking oil money cunts.

I'm pretty fickle. I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about this signing but if what is being said is true about him turning down better offers and only being willing to leave Leeds for us then that's the kind of stuff that wins me over. Same goes for Ortega. Flattery will get you everywhere.

4pm today I’ve heard. As said in Quiet thread…can’t vouch for reliability though.

Has he arrived at the CFA yet ?

He's just turned up in a tractor

Who knows - Haaland had his medical weeks before it was announced (though admittedly the circumstances were different there as it suited all parties to keep it quiet for a while).

Absolute scenes if he is wearing them pantomime horse shoes in his unveiling pictures
