Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[Didsbury Dave]

I’m told this is very likely to happen this summer when we activate his £35m release clause.

 

[Keeper!]

I agree he doesn’t compare to Rodri

I do think Pep would improve him and he would get games

Absolutely no doubt about that, but for his career , it's a big risk.

Sometimes a big fish in a lesser club is a better career move.

For 35 M in todays market is somewhat a bargain.

Cuts both ways but get what your saying

Dinho and Rodri are different types of player

Rodri is going to play most of the games, therefore if we buy a CM player we need someone who is A. similar in style and B. doesn't mind being an understudy.

From what I've seen Phillips is more like Fernandino and probably won't fancy being a bench warmer.

£35m? I’m out!

Txiki: £25m take it or leave it you scruffy relegated twats.

Leeds: “ but the release clause is 35…”hmm release clause…done.

The art of Txiki negotiations -:)

I know a few Leeds fans and they rate him highly. The lad has talent and is a very good passer. Below is a good read, would prefer FDJ but the price maybe too high.

There would be plenty of games for both Rodri and Phillips. We need to get to the final stages of the season without Rodri being burnt out. Pep simply hasn't trusted a 37 year old Fernandinho enough times this season.

If we play Rodri in the Champions league group stages Phillips can play against the likes of Bournemouth and Burnley in the league. Not to mention FA CUP, Carabao Cup and CL dead rubbers.

With 5 substitutions next season get Rodri off on the occasions we dominate, and that would allow Phillips to assimilate more quickly.

When you get to the end of the season due to form or injury Phillips could find himself starting one of the biggest games in football. Zinchenko can attest to that.

very impressive today

Needs to lose the ridiculous hairdo though. You cant be a City player with ridiculous hair….oh hang on a minute :)

This is like when we got Delph, Sinclair or Rodwell.

People on here thought they were fantastic, astute signings too.
