Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[penalty spot]

Why would he want to leave them now they've avoided relegation and play a secondary role here. More wages for him but Leeds will up his transfer fee now.
Not excited by this interest to be honest.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Can't pretend I'm enthused about this, personally don't think he's anywhere near the requisite quality. But we'll have to trust the club's judgement.

Me neither, he did well for England, no doubt about that, but just reminds me of David Batty, with a shit hairdo, he’ll become a better player if he signs just by virtue of the fact he’d be surrounded by better quality, player and coach wise, but still, not seeing it atm, like you say, just have to trust the clubs judgement.

I believe Tchouamenei is a better player with a much higher ceiling.

I think we should've considered looking at Ruben Neves especially with the relationship we have with Mendes.

I like the look of Merino from Sociedad.

I would even look at Tielemans on a free

I mentioned Neves on the other thread.

Not a dm, more a b2b
Neves has never been a solo dm and only played in a double midfield, only in a 5-2-3. But decent
Merino as a lone dm? No. Sociedads target should be Zubimendi
Tielemans? He’s more equivalent to Gundogan and those positions.

I think people just gotta lower their expectations, trust the boards and see to what the squad is missing and it’s very logical how Phillips fits, both as player and person.

Why did Grealish leave Villa? Cheers.

Take Villas situation and subtract rich owners, pushing for European football and a pretty ok project. Add a bad coach, best player leaving, barely scraped relegation. Why would he for European football and titles? :/

Ruben Neves not good enough, not even to be a squad player here.

 

[Damanino]

I think he was available around 30-35m as long as Leeds goes down.
but they didnt, so imo this is a 60m transfer at least.

not sure about it.

 

[Semper aggressus]

We don’t need a superstar in every position, particularly as back up. Rodri is first choice but simply cannot play every game, and Phillips would be more than adequate cover. We can‘t go into a season with only one DM.

Wouldn’t make our bench.

 

[tommybooth]

Not for me. Squad player at best.
