Don't see it with him

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

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!

Beyond ridiculous.

 

[Tommo1993]

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.

£42 million to Man City.

In todays market you'd say that was a steal , I'd imagine pep will bring him on aswell ..

Think rice is better though

 

[Evo1883]

Have to bear in mind Gabriel Jesus going arsenal for 50 , man city effectively paying nowt for phillips

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

He will also count as a homegrown player.

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.

 

[TomS91]

I think that’s good value. Reckon he’s a top player.

I am amazed he is that old I thought he was about 23 for some reason.

 

[TomRad85]

Think he's overrated personally and generally I'd say he's worth nowhere near that, but its peanuts to Man City really isn't it.

Isnt all that, has looked very naff every time Ive watched him, surely JWP and Rice should be the England more defensive midfield

 

[Hertsccfc]

Beyond ridiculous.

Why?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

More just collecting half decent players so they can meet home grown quotas

 

[Hertsccfc]

Pep doesn't make many mistakes and at that level that fee looks about right

nonsense, he's pish

OK faIr enough, you've convinced me.

 

[David O'Day]

OK faIr enough, you've convinced me.

why would need you to agree?

he's at best a bang average player

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Leeds losing their best two players, could be in for another long season

 

[skyblue1991]

'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

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

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.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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.

 

[SheafIsGod]

He’s fucking shite. Should be nowhere near a top Premier League side or England national team

 

[SBAndy]

6 year deal is odd.

 

[David O'Day]

6 year deal is odd.

The fee is even more odd

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

The fee is even more odd

The fact that Man City have signed such a bang average player is odd

 

[David O'Day]

For so much money as well

I mean .. does guardiola think he's average ? Or does he possess the qualities that he needs in his team

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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
