CONFIRMED Kalvin Phillips

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Doubt it..they went on tour without him..that's why I thought this could have been done much earlier..not surprised it's took this long though.

Thanks. So won't be fit till September then.

If he stays fit in happy - could be an absolute cheat code and provide leadership. We were piss weak last season and had our belly's tickled. If he contributes massively to 25 one nil wins we'll be right up there!

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Poor availability
Poor form across his last 3 moves
An area where we're comparatively well stocked
A poor, expensive use of limited resources
Not a match winner, after having lost a match winner
Expensive loan, no resale value
No long term planning for the squad

I did acknowledge he’s a risk and we’ll need to defy the odds, by which I meant getting him consistently fit, available and in form.

In terms of being a match winner, he’s clearly not Hamer’s replacement, he’s a different player for a different role. Peck isn’t a match winner by that definition either for example.

We also have no idea how expensive he is. What other choices do we have? Splash the cash?

What a very strange post. You should stop now before you embarrass yourself further, and also before you inflict more atrocities on the beautiful English language.

Yet another weapon with a keyboard off ya pop

I'm reading it as beat poetry. It almost works.

Just maybe, he sees this as a chance to get back to the PL? If he shines until Christmas he’ll be snapped up. His first few appearances will reveal whether he’s committed or just stealing a wage and wants to cruise for another season. If the former, he’ll be great for us.

 

[Keen Blade]

Don’t buy this cheap as chips deal spin, he’s on £150,000 a week at City and they’ll definitely want a sizeable contribution towards that. Otherwise what’s the point in them sanctioning the deal?

Maybe getting rid of the embarrassment of his ludicrous contract - out of sight , out of mind ?
I mean , how did you feel about Brewster - weren't you sick of the sight of him ?
Every time you remembered we had him - on the treatment table or on the turntables - you immediately thought of the £23m and 5 years on £30kpw which was helping to fuck up our finances.

To be fair, all those you listed got promoted from the Championship as Champions, not to mention Bamford who did it twice and Phillips who has the highest accolades of them all.

Wilder wanted a stinger mentality in the dressing room. That what he’s brought in there. Doherty also has won the Championship.

Not sure if anyone has remarked this that’s at least 5 players on the books now who have Championship winners medals. All brought here by Wilder.

You don’t get that sort of observation from the Star even when it’s behind a paywall

Seriously though, we lacked leadbership and experience and by this time we have 5 winners of the division in the ranks. That’s pretty smart to be fair, in my view.

 

[Mario1889]

Could be an excellent signing this if we can get him anywhere near where he was 4/5 years ago.

Could be a real coup by the club bringing him in.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Barely played any football in about five years now.

It doesn't fill me with much confidence.

 

[S17 Blade 1889]

For what its worth I think that if this deal is a good for United and the player as the last one was its a no lose for us. He plays and is good we have a fantastic deal, he's doesn't play much or gets injured it costs next to nothing.

Really think there should be some credit to the club IF that's the case.

 

[Fatlad666]

Say it a bit louder for them in the back hes wank & you must watch him with your rose tinted speccys on pal or just as thick as your post is

 

[Fatlad666]

Im an owl mate you know that..but I'd rather have kept hamer than getting Phillips in..hamer is over weight but can lose that and Phillips is a crock now.

Thanks for the advice, but anyone who thinks The ginger goblin is a world class player. Like you do, think I'll pass
