Kalvin Phillips

[casebian]

He's 28.

Well I'm almost 20 year older than him so it's a turn of phrase that I would say to someone that's that much younger than me

But he could be cover for Rodri yet we’re letting him go?

It was like some of the desperation signings we made in the 2012/13 season. Yet he came in the summer on big money.

Well he can't cover Rodri, otherwise he would. I mean obviously he can in the literal sense you could put him in place of Rodri, but you could put me in there, doesn't mean I can do the job well.

Pep sees him every day in training and clearly hasn't trusted him to cover for Rodri when it matters, so he's likely right. I'm sure Pep knows what he's looking at when he sees someone day in and day out.

They are paying his wages not us

I doubt that very much, West ham will have a wage cap and Phillips will be on much higher wages than any West Ham player, City will be paying some of his wages at least 50% i think

Not a chance, on loan (no disrespect to W/Ham) but that's his level, at best.
Seems a nice bloke, but a bang average player, who was out of his depth. Couldn't believe we signed him, guess Pep, or someone, thought he'd improve....a lot.
Good luck to him.

Whatever else he does in his career he can always say he scored the winner in a CL game for the greatest club on the planet

Gone...

Good luck for the future Kalvin. You leave as a record breaking Treble winner & World Champion. )(

With Phillips supposedly going to West Ham on loan,does anyone think we will bring someone in or not ..

I get the impression Bobb and Hamilton will step up. Not same position but we have competent back ups for Rodders if needed.

Wish Journo will spin His first interview as calling Pep a ****?

 

[bluemonkey71]

does that now mean we will go into the market?

 

[Damanino]
