no one is trying to force him out....and my posts are suggesting that...Im suggesting that we make it easier for him to get a deal....no one is going to buy him at 30m for instance.....not after the last few seasons and loans but put a minimal fee on it some club will take a chance on him.You can't force him out unfortunately
but he is clearly not going to play.He actually wants to play doesn't he? He was bought and is being paid handsome wage, that's on the club.
His integrity inn my mind is very much intact.
Why blame anyone, not every transfer is 100% , we get far more right than other teams. This one hasn’t worked ,talking about blame is a bit daft and pointless.What is his biggest failing? not being good enough to challenge Rodri, we are letting City down with this constant pulling him down, it is devaluing him, so what is his value? about £10 million a year loan, just imagine a team coming up, that does not know where they will be next year, getting an England player on a temporary deal represents good business. For ourselves it represents £30 million loans, around £15 million amortization, paying of most of his fee. A loss of his wages and position, whether that be a squad place or loan spot.
But who is to blame, not the player, not the fans, but the person who thought he could do a job he could not. Lets blame that person not the player as that is bad for City and our reputation as fans.
No but the club for one season as long as he joins Ipswich permantely after the loan spell.You going to chip in?
He’s got a great life earning great money.but he is clearly not going to play.
He must see that so why would he in his mind stay?...just for higher pay packet?.....thats where people would start to question his integrity (Im not saying he is or has done that....but if he did)
My post is not to blame Phillips, as others were. but since there is a blame culture lets put it where it deserves to be. you are right that we get more right than all others, mainly because we buy experience. But we should blame who bought this player as, several years ago we declared ,we looked at all aspects of whether a player was suitable , which leaves only one option, we bought an English player to sit on the bench, his only failure was coming of the bench.Why blame anyone, not every transfer is 100% , we get far more right than other teams.

Well as whoever bought Phillips, bought Ake and Akanji and helped build record breaking squads they most definitely shouldn’t and won’t get any blame whatsoever for buying Phillps.My post is not to blame Phillips, as others were. but since there is a blame culture lets put it where it deserves to be. you are right that we get more right than all others, mainly because we buy experience.

Oh so that`s alright then, we are not interested in putting right obvious mistakes, and everyone is an idiot if they question anything?Well as whoever bought Phillips, bought Ake and Akanji and helped build record breaking squads they most definitely shouldn’t and won’t get any blame whatsoever for buying Phillps.
Expecting every single transfer to work out and wanting to blame somebody when one doesn’t is idiotic.
You think they haven’t looked at it and analysed where the move went wrong? I’m pretty sure they have but without blaming anyone as first it wouldn’t be one person, second they will be valued members of the management and transfer team, thirdly they’re grown ups and understand they can’t always be right.Oh so that`s alright then, we are not interested in putting right obvious mistakes, and everyone is an idiot if they question anything?
Must be just me, i question everything, and more often than not, someone knows the answer, may seem i do not take on board what people say, but i do, and i value it whether i agree or not, if it has substance.
Hes staying in that caseCity never cover any wages of senior players.
