Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

The obsession with price here is special :)

Special high price.

Kalvin Phillips going to cost 50 mil plus, Leeds fans saying the club turned down a 50 mil bid in January for him from West Ham. Also that their owner is following the Leicester model

Not a chance West Ham offered that amount unless they were expecting Rice to go.

Special high price.

It’s a supposed fee, no guarantee what the fee actually is. It’s not our money and we’ve got no shortage in cash after last summer and this winters sales. Chill.

Worth it to who, the club will only pay what they think he’s worth.

No, the club will go the distance if a player is someone they want, or are we really going to say that the club looked at Grealish and thought, That’s a 100M player? we can agree or disagree with the approach, and then make it a joke about “English tax” or how it’s always more expensive for us, and wonder why

Likewise, Is 50mil for a back up CDM really necessary?. Hopefully more around the 30mil mark.

That's acceptable.

Because he is not worth this money and this is not an excellent business in my eyes to pay 50M£ for a back-up midfielder who hasn't a lot of top-level experience ;)

I think I’ll take the valuation of Pep and Txiki and those a the club that have built a-title winning machine, over the random valuation of a bloke on the internet , thanks. If he’s the player they think we need, the price is of no interest to me if those running the club are comfortable with it.

But you can find a way better one for the same or lower price. It's like buying between Wolksvagen or Audi.

Bennacer - 50m€ release clause
Laimer from Leipzig
Fabian Ruiz - 40-50m€, his contract with Napoli expires in 2023
Sangare from PSV Eindhoven
Thuram from Nice

We could find a lot of options. Paying 50M£ for IMO not a top player is ridiculous.

ridiculous you say… he hasn’t got a clue about football this Pep bloke does he. There are folk on here that know much more about football and what is required to build a title winning team than he does.

 

[blueparrot]

That's acceptable.

So it isn’t about whether he’s the right player , just your random valuation ?

Guardiola has never played 4-4-2.

Aye, that was the joke.
