A whole week is obviously too long apart for match day threads.
School holidays finish soon.

Fuck the bickering, fuck the money we spent on him, and the money he is paid.
The bloke can't be happy not being selected, frozen out. That must take its toll.
Surely he wants first-team football - he isn't getting that with City.
The writing is on the wall.

Does he want to take a financial hit?Fuck the bickering, fuck the money we spent on him, and the money he is paid.

Lots of players out there happy to sit it out when they are raking it in. If he leaves he won’t find a club willing to match anywhere near the wage he commands here

I have no idea, mate.
However, at some point, he must realise professional pride and his future England place is at stake.
Maybe a reported 150k a week is worth not really giving a fuck about the aforementioned.
Great lad but not good enough unfortunately, would love to be proved wrong.I hope he stays. It’s hasn’t worked out at this minute in time but I hope the club give him a chance to turn it around. Dumping Phillips now is not right Imo. What harm is he doing in the squad? Reevaluate next summer. Get him some game time in the domestic cups to kick on.
Agree but every club make mistakes, Tarquins, Pepe, Chav’s, Lukaku, Rags, Sancho. I’m sorry it’s not working out for Kalvin but we’ve hardly been unsuccessful in tbe transfer market.Very harsh analysis there mate.
Firstly, he didn't sell himself to City, and he didn't set the fee or wages. The club jumped in with both feet and threw money around, following what I can only assume was inadequate scouting / background checks.
We don't know whether or not Phillips is 'grafting' or anywhere near earning his salary, but I wouldn't for one minute think that he "couldn't give a fuck".
The lad is (in my opinion) simply out of his depth at City. He's most likely a thoroughly decent lad... one who effectively 'won the lottery' when we signed him.
I hope he gets a good move and that City do the right thing in relation to paying off his contract when he leaves.
Responsibility for any 'fault' on this occasion lies very firmly with the club, not the player.

Another game,another 90 mins on the bench.
Sheffield United was exactly the type of opposition we bought him for,yet he isnt deemed reliable or trustworthy enough.
C'mon Kalvin......for your own sake/career......speak to Pep and Txiki and get yourself a new club.

Or benefitting himself. He’ll lose his England spot if he doesn’t start playingIf he wants to play football I think he needs to go somewhere even on loan to get match fit. At the moment him being at City is not benefitting the club at all.
Yep, Phillips had 12 league appearancesI'd check those facts before posting tripe
