On a serious note could we ship him out to New York for a year? He might do ok in Yankland and even when you’re from the glistening metropolis that is Leeds, the idea of living in New York for a year must sound appealing.

New York is not a bad shout. But he probably thinks he is better than a retirement league.

I said this in the other thread but Pep didn’t even trust Joško to play as a CB last year, his given position and one he has played against high level opposition. No slight on Kalvin, but do people really see this happening?Certainly could work at times though - depends on who we were up against. Wouldn't want to see Kalvin there against any kind of top team, but it could certainly work against bottom half teams at home.

Seems a well liked guy at the club and very engaging with our fans on tour but he will be a benchwarmer who will only be ever used in an emergency. Quite sad for an ex England regular and us having the smallest squad in the PLI said this in the other thread but Pep didn’t even trust Joško to play as a CB last year, his given position and one he has played against high level opposition. No slight on Kalvin, but do people really see this happening?

if they fall off yeah, but doesnt seem a lad that like to move far. Getting him just to london was a pain.Forgot I think we can't deal with them for a while. Maybe next year?
I hope he has a john stones year. Stones was once almost sold but the following year he proved his worth. Give this kid a chance. I think he will be pretty good as a center back.
Don't you put beloved Jonny Boulders in the same bracket as Phillips!! Haha
Stones is quality. He'd shown his level many times over the years before that apparent selling (which was him essentially turning down any move because he wanted to stay) which can't really be said for Phillips.
I hope he can be used, though. Having a centre half who can play good (midfield-esque) passes against a mid-lower table PL side at our place would be a game changer. Teams sit back and let us have the ball, his range could be something useful.
He's here now and nobody wants to come in for him, may as well make use of his assets while limiting the level of opposition who can prey on his shortcomings.
