Kalvin Phillips

Doesn't help that Southgate will continue to call him up.

Issue with him is he's a headless chicken, works in a ball winning capacity next to a number 6 like it does next to Rice. As a lone 6 though, it's useless. Maybe it'd be fine if he was fast like the Caicedo's and Kantes of the world but he's probably the slowest player In our squad. His decision making might be even slower and that's an even bigger reason he's not trusted. He's a worse Javi Garcia, at least he was elite in the air.
It's was a signing that didn't make sense the minute we were linked.

I don't see how he's happy sitting on the bench all season either, get the hint lad.
Not a fan then
 
Everytime I see Kalvin in videos on the OS I feel so bad for him. He looks very low in confidence, there's a sadness in his eyes.
And I don't lame him, nor us, for that. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, such is life, and I want nothing but success for the lad, but that will probably not be here with us.

I understand what you mean, but I really don't have much sympathy for a player who was poorly advised and/or made a bad decision to accept a £7m a year salary on a 5-year contract.

Having not asked for a move, he'll leave City with a huge payoff, a fistful of undeserved medals, get a signing on payment from his new club, and probably in the region of £3m / £4m a year in wages for 3 seasons.

Harsh I know, but I doubt he'll lose any sleep.
