[Football] Kalvin Phillips to Man City

[Swansman]

Nah Phillips wants to play for England, won’t do that under Southgate if he’s a Brighton player

But he also won't do that if he's on the bench... oh. Never mind.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

A great example of a horrible club hovering up a good player they don't need to stop anyone else getting him.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Last I heard he wasn’t playing as he was overweight. Has he been on a diet?

I heard he was at one of these clinics :

 

[dwayne]

Available for loan. Ok had a crap season last time around but surely worth a look. Loan would be acceptable.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Jesus wept. A big no from me even if he does lose weight.

 

[dazzer6666]

Absolutely awful for West Ham. No. Probably end up at one of the promoted clubs to try to rebuild his career.

 

[brighton_tom]

He’ll eventually go back to Leeds. Was awful for Ham.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

A bit like Bridcutt, he works in one particular system very well but most teams are deploying a double pivot these days.

I guess it depends on who our next coach is.

But this is our model. Pick out talented players that made a wrong move or are undervalued. Philips was brilliant a year or 2 ago.

Wages...........will no doubt be on a King's ransome at Citeh. Not succeeding at Citeh (through hardly ever getting in the team) is one thing, but the no-show/shit-show for \West Ham has to be worrying, even allowing for being a bit ring-rusty. Would be very wary of even a loan (even with Citeh paying most of his wages) TBH.

Leeds relegated next season?

Quick note. I was right.

NO NO NO NO NO and NO!

Since when was this our model? I can’t recall any 28 year olds we’ve purchased after a “wrong move.”

 

[dippy2449]

If he is on a pay by play contract maybe. No doubt he has had his confidence kicked and trampled needs a good manager with plenty of patience.
Oh yeah we don't have a manager!!!

Shrewd move for one of the promoted clubs though.

Agreed. Possibly Welbeck after an indifferent spell at Watford. Purchased or acquired?

 

[studio150]

Manchester City reported as wanting to sell rather than loan. City obviously got lucky with West Ham covering all his wages and paying a loan fee.

Given his performances at West Ham, they have not taken up the option to buy.

Everton said to be interested but only only a loan.

Wouldn't even want him here if it was on a free transfer.

If we want to bring in an experienced player to provide the sort of influence that Lallana had, there will be far better options.

……when they are on 200k a week

 

[jcdenton08]

Seems like going back to Leeds on a loan to buy dependent on promotion is a very likely outcome

You are a funny fucker.
