The world's gone mad! He's a stone-wall second division player.
But it's not as mad as when i thought it read KEVIN Phillips!

...get ready for the Hamer to Leeds shouts...... 
Don’t particularly rate him, especially for an England player. But I can’t really see a move to Man City being all that good for England.
In todays market you'd say that was a steal , I'd imagine pep will bring him on aswell ..
Think rice is better though
And he's 3 years younger. Phillips is 27 in December, you're signing someone at their peak.

Not sure about this. Means Southgate will continue to pick him, regardless of form. Nothing personal, but I'm not convinced he's as good as Rice, and don't think we need both Rice and Phillips in the England team together (as we'll no doubt discover in Qatar) but Southgate will die on that hill.
Isnt all that, has looked very naff every time Ive watched him, surely JWP and Rice should be the England more defensive midfield
More just collecting half decent players so they can meet home grown quotas
Pep doesn't make many mistakes and at that level that fee looks about right
'The midfielder is expected to provide back up for Rodri at City in the single defensive midfield position favoured by manager Pep Guardiola'
Shows that Phillips would rather be a back up with money rather than a first team player week in week out. No doubt Southgate will still pick him!
He's ok but Rice is the better player in that position for club and country

Sterling rumoured to be off to Chelsea for the same figure too. If so I wonder if, for once, Man City are being sensible money wise and looking to balance the books a bit after the Grealish purchase? I’m sure they would have preferred Rice but realistically he’s another £100m+ signing.
I doubt Phillips has been brought in to play ahead of Rodri and £42-45 million represents good value in today’s market.
Pep will develop Phillips as a player and clearly the Man City staff see something in him. The ‘overrated’ comments are a bit silly, he’s come back from an injury plagued season and you could tell he was off the pace v Hungary.

Well, he was a shoe-in before so even more so now,
He's not bad, but he's nothing special either. In terms of midfielders I'd play Rice, Bellingham and Ward-Prowse in that position ahead of him.
Kalvin Phillips was really good in the 20/21 season for club and country. Last season was a write off in terms of being injured a lot and playing in a struggling team. People have forgot that.
Man City have got good value out of this transfer and Guardiola will improve him as a player.

I’m sure the likes of David know more than a manager whose clearly got no idea what he’s doing
