I’m confused, is this the Kalvin Phillips thread?
Kalvin Phillips

Pep said he's in London, his wife's having a baby.
This lad has been an utter disaster. Awful form and beset by injuries. Even on his loan spells he's been awful and ends up injured. Now by some strange quirk of fate he's back in our squad. We have Huddersfield away, the perfect opportunity surely for him to gain some minutes.....and his wife is giving birth! He's cursed.

I know that's what it is but, FFS he's picking up more money in a week than than I see in years and the one time he might actually get a game he's unavailable.

Bit of a commute to training if his family is in London.
One of the most stupid transfers we have made in the modern era.

It's our lucky day! Had his wife not been expecting then there was a red card waiting to come out. Thank you, Mrs Phillips.

To be honest I'm not sure he'd even be picked.
He probably still turns up to training at West Ham and no one's realised yet.
Was he really England's POTY?
From memory, I thought there were a few dissenters tbh, but not that it matters really, as you say, a horrendous signing.
Edit FWIW this was my take on it

like nearly every opposition supporter who arrives on the transfer forum when city are linked with their players. Really don't know what they think they'll gain. Piss funny when they literally act like they know the individual and what they're gonna do

Lucky to nick the CL? Behave
Agreed. A yard dog, half decent when playing for a team with low possession signed at a time when we were always in possession.

Why is his wife in London? He plays for City and he's from Leeds. Call me old-fashioned, but I live with my wife.

It's been 2 years and I still can't explain how Ruben didn't head the ball into his own net with zero reaction time or how Eddie saved it the first time with his knee..
20 years from now I'll still not be able to explain that.
We did a lot of things right that season but we needed luck there to nick it!

We smashed Bayern and Real Madrid to get to the final. We played poorly in the final by the standards we'd set that season. Phil should have put the game to bed. Ederson had to make a couple of saves and Ruben had to head one round the post. There was nothing lucky about it and we didn't nick it. I agree my nerves were shot, but there was only going to be one winner that night.

In the same way that we needed bad luck to lose it some other seasons. In a sense, that's why I'll never consider the Champions League the ultimate prize, because in any knockout tournament, luck plays a huge role. The fact that it's regularly won by teams that can't win their domestic league should tell us that. You can't fluke the league.
