Kalvin Phillips

[balotelli's back pocket]

Liverpool are not a direct rival. Not anymore.

If Liverpool aren't a direct rival, who is?

 

[richards30]

Why the fuck are we loaning Phillips to them lot?? £40-50m sale or nothing!

 

[Keeper!]

Unless he would fit in their system and look decent, then it would be an absolutely awful piece of business. Why risk helping our rivals just to save a small amount. Very little upside and a bid downside. They just offered 115m for Caicedo, they can afford to buy Phillips. We should not be doing them any favors.

I don't for one second see what he would give them, it's a desperate signing if it's true.

Real Madrid…

PGMOL

Far, far easier to play as the holding midfielder in a Klopp side than a Pep side. They just need a water carrier. Phillips is the perfect replacement for Henderson.

Nobody is buying him, lets be honest. Hes been publically ridiculed by City, barely played any minutes and has no place in the current squad. We have zero leverage with other teams.

Best we can hope for is a loan move and he performs and then maybe theres some competition next summer.

They won't be if Phillips plays for them!

This may have been the masterplan all along. We have been playing the long game: sign Phillips, loan him to the dippers, dippers get relegated!

Job done! That'll teach them to hack our data base & sign letters about us!

True but they would be buying a very damaged player for me, his confidence has been absolutely battered by his time with us.

If he goes what are the chances we'll bring in somebody else?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The only thing I'd loan to the murderers is a bucket of industrial waste down the Mersey

We already are, the lad from Wolves!

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Although it feels that way we currently have 22 players, which is the exact number we’ve had for the last 5 seasons (in which we’ve won 4 prems- to me that’s not coincidence

You're possibly right but I do feel like we've been lucky that we've often got injuries in positions we're stacked in. Rodri, for example, has stayed for pretty much for three years straight now.

Are you volunteering? That place on the bench won’t warm itself.

 

[houraisen]

Because We can save the £150,000 per week we pay him.

 

[MCFC1993]

I imagine there would be a loan fee and the wages covered.

City obviously believe he doesn't strengthen Liverpool enough to be title challengers and if he does well then we recoup a lot of his transfer fee.

west ham wanted him but he didnt want to go

 

[leo_city]

Loaning him to the scousers when we know they have the money to buy him is just stupid IMO.

If they agree to pay his wages not bad

 

[manimanc]

If Liverpool aren't a direct rival, who is?

Nobody. No other team is good enough to be our rival.

we'd have squad room for a couple of bargain buys if Kalvin sets sail.
