Kalvin Phillips

I'm not sure why that keeps getting peddled out......because of course we all want him to succeed.

As for the rest,there has to be middle ground......of course join in with the group,enjoy yourself,but also keep your head down and concentrate on proving the club was right to sign you......because right now,it appears he is more Scott Carson's apprentice than Rodri's.

I agree with your post, but my perspective is just a little different.

I came across the current City payroll on Sportrac: https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-city-fc/payroll/2023/
It surprised me that Philips is currently on the same wage as Bernardo £150k/wk, £7.8million/year, no wonder he's smiling!
View attachment 91127(You would imagine Bernardo will get an increase in his new contract?)

We have many more years of Dias and Foden to look forward to.....

I still think that if Liverpool come in with an acceptable offer then he'll be gone. I can't and don't believe he'd turn down the chance to play games if his personal terms were to be comparable to those he has with City. His current situation cannot continue, even though it is his right to honour his contract.

Fits the Happy Flowers team more than the City team.

Maybe Pep had a point all those months ago.

Oh dear. Oh deary, deary, deary me... Looks like there's a Club vs Player scrap brewing!

Bit strange of him to want to stay if it's clear he isn't going to play with the euros next summer.

Unless Pep has given him some encouragement then there doesn't seem to be a point in sticking around and ruining his international chances. To be fair his replacements aren't significantly better either.

The four medals he's won can become intoxication, even if he didn't contribute a great deal...

He could be our new Danny Mills!

Nobody could be that useless, well apart from Nigel Clough.

To be fair Phillips has in the few minutes he's actually been trusted to play.
