Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[Thenumber1blue]

like nearly every opposition supporter who arrives on the transfer forum when city are linked with their players.

Really don't know what they think they'll gain. Piss funny when they literally act like they know the individual and what they're gonna do

If Phillips is worth £35mil then about £10mil ;-)

We'd have stayed up without Harrison's goal incidentally.

So not only do you guys think a mystery release clause exists for a very low fee which nobody has activated in the 3 years since the contract was signed (something not mentioned by any of the many many journalists ours or yours) or any of our various fan itks (we have those also).

A clause Kalvin insisted on as a Championship player despite us already showing we would sell him for a fee of the same amount of this clause to Villa never mind a Champions League club.

But also Manchester City decided to give us a £7mil reduction on the understanding we would help them out if they decided to buy KP in the future.

Even though any Champions League team could seemingly activate this clause at any time and make the reduction pointless or we could have sold KP to West Ham for £55mil a few months back and that reduction would still have got you no benefit?

Dont mean to be rude but these stories and whatnot just comes across as drunk blokes in a pub telling each other tales.

I have no idea if there is a release clause in his contract or not but I do know that most of them have an activation date it could kick in this summer for champs league clubs hence the reason west ham wanted it done earlier. I also know that Leeds and man city have a great working relationship which personally I believe will make talks run smoother and make Leeds more likely to business with us.

What a load of shit

No.

That was all true.

Grealish was arrogant lol.

Even Villa fans said as much.

An arrogant party boy who was often on the back pages for the wrong reasons.

Selfishly doing things that were embarrassing for his boyhood club for years.

That is what I meant.

Phillips isn't like that, never had any headlines like that.

That is what I meant by different characters.

Doesn't make Jack a bad person just means that maybe he makes decisions a little differently.

Gareth Barry, Fabian Delph, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta, Oleks Zinchenko like this post.

(To be clear, that's sarcasm)

Same story, different year. The only one that never moved was Kane and even then it was very clear he was desperate for the move.

To be honest, and obviously I could be very wrong, but this strikes me very similar to the likes of the Ings rumours were fuck all was in it and folk just don't want to be left behind if it did turn out to be true or just happen to...happen!

One things for sure, Southgate will advise Phillips to play for pep!

couple of good articles here on what he can do, and what the Leeds missed without him

As someone who doesn't know much about his game outside the Euros and a few Leeds matches, I appreciated this.

He's got a wider range of passing than I realized and the pressing ability will obviously appeal to Pep.

No.

That was all true.

No it was utter bollocks

IIRC we averaged 4.8 subs per game during project restart when 5 subs were available.

Pep will make subs if the game is safe but usually doesn't make them if its tight & probably expects the players hes picked to turn the game around. Sunday wasn't usual with Zinc coming on at half time & then Raz & Gundy coming on before the 70th minute

No.

That was all true.

Sometimes posts call for a double like
