Kalvin Phillips

[Father Paul]

At this point loaning him to leeds for a year might not be a bad idea. Pointless him staying here and taking a squad place, pep has zero trust in him, he's more likely to stick carson in net and play ederson in midfield before relying on phillips. Familiar surrounding where he's loved and will be afforded chance after chance even if he fucks up playing at a level that he should dominate could rebuild his confidence and career then if he gets leeds back up and makes it permanent we could get a good chunk of money back on him.

Sounds like a plan.

He's lost confidence in a very unforgiving position..Plus he has an insanely lucrative contract so it is not entirely surprising that he has hit a wall with no way back..

A 19 year old was trusted more than an England International.
Speaks volumes.
Must be on his way or Pep thinks he’s only good enough to be water boy.
I sincerely hope he resurrects his career somewhere but unfortunately it’s not going to be with us.

And it’s not o’reilys natural position.
I hop we persist with him. Lost the ball a couple of times but was trying to do the right thing. Needs to adjust to the premier league speed of thought.

Be easier winning the league than getting shot of this lad.

O’Reilly carries the ball really well, but needs to release it earlier.

I honestly have to admit I prefer players
who want to play football first of all and leave a club if they feel they can offer much more somewhere else (if we like it or not)

to players who aren't arsed if they don't play football at all as long as they pocket their money for jogging around in training and most of all they never say what THEY want to find a way how to achieve it.

That's the difference in the mindset.

Unfortunately in Phillips case I honestly don't think it's down to "he isn't arsed" - it's simply that he's had such a bad run there's zero interest.
Now take Cancelo - I reckon there's been interest but he only wants back to the thieving Spaniards who want to rob us blind by taking him on loan yet again.

Thanks for your continued input.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Oh will people give over with this attitude.
The lad isn't "shite" it just hasn't worked - it feckin happens.
Not started today as we had other options we wanted to try in midfield and he was NEVER getting in at CB
I hope we find a solution suitable for both parties

Hi Kalvin's mum x

I would genuinely pay extra on my season ticket to watch that.
