CONFIRMED Kalvin Phillips

[Champagneblade]

Riedewald is better than Phillips. And cheaper.

And not always injured.

Riedewald is better than Phillips. And cheaper.

He also isn’t semi retired, reliant on absolute roasters to offer him deals to keep him living the lifestyle.

 

[YES Blade]

At this point he might as well just stay at City, see out his contract and retire.

Why? He’ll get a longer deal from someone stupid enough to sign him. Whilst possibly getting paid up at City.

 

[blade_ben]

This is where Wilder really lets himself down.

 

[Bladeloyal]

I hope we sign him and he gets the hunger back pre season and smashes every midfield in the champ next season .you don't play 31 times for England if your bobbar

Might as well sign Dele Alli as well, then. Same age, more England caps.

 

[jimmymuir]

Prefer Phillips as he's from Yorkshire and 'gets the club', rather than foreign muck like Riedewald... We'll never shake Brexit Blades under Wilder.

Not sure Calvin has done his body in with a very unhealthy life style

Both have been in decline for years. Became fabulously wealthy at a very young age and lost their way.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Well I did say I hope he can get his hunger back at a new club and a full pre season Ali is a basket case

He was a disastrous signing. I don’t get the obsession with him. We could do far better with the money we have than spunking it on yet another washed up has been.

Pre-SeAsOn.. that’s definitely what’s needed for a player who’s been complete garbage for the past few years

I am in this camp

 

[The Fox]

He's under contract on silly money until June 28 , he's also 30 and not going to get fitter or less injury prone .

The risks outweigh the benefits regarding his motivation , injury record and he'll never be our player so zero sell on.

Alli has well-documented, immensely valid reasons for struggling to stay on "the straight and narrow". Calling him a "basket case" is horrendously disrespectful considering what he has been through.

To my knowledge, Phillips has had none of that.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

If he can stay fit he'd be a big upgrade on what we've got. Cannot afford to have another Tom Davies situation though

 

[Striker]

Vini Souza returning???

 

[FTPE]

This is where Wilder really lets himself down.

Where?

Not when fans like you make every outcome about it

 

[PrestwichBlade]

There seems to be a lot of hoping and finger-crossing going on for next season that all sorts of things can be rekindled from about 2021

 

[Jan Age]

Part of me is excited the other part of me thinks it’s just another Rodwell / Davies signing

 

[Tazzy]

A fully fit Phillips is top signing for us .Only paying a small portion of his wage whats not to like get him in

He’s not fully fit.
He won’t ever be fully fit.
We don’t know what the wage situation is, if he’s paid up he’ll be wanting 40K minimum.

 

[The Fox]

A fully fit Phillips is a top signing for a PL side who will pay a large portion of his wages.

Problem is finding a Delorean and flux capacitor.

 

[sitwell]

Gordon Cowans and Stuart McCall were much older than Philips ,2 of the finest midfielders to play for us.

I suppose it helped they had both arrived off the back of multiple full seasons, not fewer than 50 games across 4 or 5 seasons.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Jairo was worth a deal on a middling Champ wage. I can't see us getting Phillips. Both he and Man City will get better offers.

 

[blade_ben]

Where?

When he lets players like Jairo leave to persue a project that is never gonna be beneficial for us

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I can't get my head around the decision on any level. His loan spell was the best advert for not signing him.

Poor fitness, poor discipline and never really showed flashes of being anything more than an OK footballer for the level.
He ruined our chance to do something memorable against Wednesday too.

I stand by the assertion that Riedewald is a better player and he'll have been on 50% of what we were paying Phillips (and probably 10% of what KP earns).
