Kalvin Phillips

Colin Bells Boots said:
I agree and it has certainly come back to bite us in the arse, both by way of the financial commitment and having a player we do not want on our books.

Further compounding the Phillips issue, we also have Cancelo seemingly affecting our recruitment.

Annoying especially as both situations are as a consequence of our contract negotiations.

Both huge wages and however wealthy we are that effects our incoming targets unquestionably.

He will maybe we pay a % of it seeing as we bought him and down to our mistake! A long loan with at the end of it he is there player!

Think what we will do is just try and find a club who will pay a loan fee and we pay some of his wages

Not a chance of a loan fee and we will be picking up the majority of his wage.

seems to be a popular theory we pay wages on loans, don't think its actually happened once so far. (at least since early takeover anyway)

It hasn't happened in the last few years. But it was a regular occurance, for years. Reportedly, I should add.
 
He’s got the footballing yips it seems. Seen it happened to a couple of players over the years where the confidence goes and they become a shell of the player they were.
His decision is quite simple. Take the money and do nothing for the next few years or accept a move away where he can start again.
I don’t know him so don’t know his character but it wouldn’t shock me if he chooses the former.

FMwkdsoul said:
Bayern paid those (no fee though)

Mangala - fuck forgot he was still here under pep lol.

Not according to reports at the time, and even Pep loosely said so. But happy for someone to prove me wrong. There was Nasri too.

Bayern sporting director confirmed it. They paid no fee, but eat the wage. Probably both playing the PR game.

Meh, We'll prob end up doing what we did with Nasri and lower transfer, the buying club to settle his contract.

Villa know we want shut, they have seen the state Phillips is still in pre-season, if I was a Villa official and witnessed that "cameo" I would be telling Emery, Non Senior, move along.

If they do still want him it will be a free loan, us paying at least 50% of his wage and no option to buy.

Makes me wonder if stepping away from the league itself, maybe even moving countries would be a better idea for the guy. Girona have lost Aleix Garcia, could be an option to send him there for a season.

That being said, I still don't think we need a true DM as Rodri cover. Someone who can see out 25-30 minutes of games, let him sit out for cup games here and there would be ideal. If that has to be 2 players, maybe a Rico and Kovacic then that works fine by me.

The guy is broken and will he ever get back to any sort of level as a pro?


I genuinely have my doubts, it's a huge gamble for any club to take him on, even if we gave him away.

As sports director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed to „Bild“ football chief Christian Falk, no loan fee flowed for the Portuguese outside defender in the direction of Manchester City. Because of the „network“ this coup was successful. Accordingly, Bayern „only“ has to pay the salary until the end of the season, which is around 15 million euros gross per year. Thus, the fees of the record champion are about 7 million euros.

That'll do me. Glad for that. Did see one where they claimed otherwise, but will take that as I'd rather it was true. Ta.
