Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

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

For £35m (if true) it’s a no brainer. Will be a beast under Pep.

Absolutely, makes perfect sense this move. Get it done City.

Think he'd be a good addition. Though having to get his hamstring operated on is a bit of a worry.

 

[Lost in space]

If waistcoat can get him to look decent then Pep will have him looking like mini dinho in no time.

 

[Lkzerinho]

I don't hate this at 35M.

I think there are better players out there, but the value that we are getting here is excellent.

Examples on better players out there and available?

Phillips at £35m is certainly better than Rice at £135m and scratches our English itch.

I would have went hard for Aurélien Tchouaméni, but clearly the club wasn't in for him at all or we'd have heard something by now. As long as he doesn't end up with the dippers then it's fine.

 

[Mr-Mertle]

Would have been so much simpler if Leeds had gone down. Phillips will have his head turned now and want out.

Hopefully if we get him signed we can arrange for a better stylist.
