Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[TFC]

I'm like others, extremely skeptical about this one, but smart enough to realise I don't know a fucking thing in comparison to Pep and our team of boffins.

Trust in Pep people....didn't he convert Bayerns right back (Lahm) into a great DM?
So should be easy for a man of Peps calibre to turn a DM into a class DM....no?

Can we not let the dippers steal our files that contain Phillips as a target.

I've been told the fee is £65m. That's way too much if true.

Transfer forums are all about individual’s opinions, I get it, but I’m sure Pep knows better than any of us. Yeah it’s great getting a £100 million player . However I’m just a spoiled old man and want more. Sorry in advance

It’s not my money, if he contributes to our continued success and the fee boils the piss of brain dead hypercritical fans/journalists of our rivals, all the better

Mods should clean up this thread. Maybe have a poll so you can vote for whether you want him or not but leave this thread to discuss the transfer, it’s a little tedious when every other post is someone saying he’s shit and they don’t want him at city… just my 0.02

Really good thread

A very good thread

 

[samuelyeboah]

again the reason you should care about the price being £65m is that our budget isn't endless and it very directly means we will have less money for our next target and might miss out on one. 15m overpay here, 5m overpay there, they add up. for 5 years we haven't gotten a replacement leftback because there was never enough leftover in the budget for it.

it's got nothing to do with it being "your" money or how much twats online will tell us we've overpaid and call us oil club etc etc. these are relevant. the budget is relevant.

If he doesn't get 2 red cards in his 1st season he's just not doing the job we are buying him for!!!
