Rodri is special, I agree but Pep obviously sees something in Phillips and Phillips will have wanted assurances he’s going to get game time, no way would he not. I’m surprised by the deal as well but no chance he’s not getting game time. I think you give Southgate too much credit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Good luck to him. Exactly the same choice Jack made. Not convinced Citeh are some incredible outfit, they were lucky we didn't have Martinez in goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Another England international goes to Man City’s vanity project to try and force the nation to like them because “it’ll be good for the England team” God, I hope we crash and burn at the tournament and Citehs little show ponies cop the blame… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Definitely good enough for us and Probably good enough for Man City... but he'll break down more often than Papershins. He'll probably suit their "you only play 25 games" rotational system better then anywhere else in the league . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder could Pep play a double pivot with Rodri and Phillips, maybe that’s the idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll look after you lad, you’ll only have to work half the time for 4 times the money. None of this playing with a knock rubbish. Don’t worry about your World Cup place, we know the manager, if you know what we mean…… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish played more minutes last season for City than he did for us the season before, despite him Being a ‘£100m bench warmer’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Does that mean they'll sell Gundogan? Probably wholly unrealistic but that would be amazing although of course he'll have 5-6 CL clubs after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Well thats one of the 3 midfielders available this summer that idolised Gerrard not signing for us. Lets see what Tolisso and Rabiot are saying next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) To the Man City graveyard with ye, Phillips. This has Rodwell vibes. Phillips is class but he isn’t infinite oil money class. this season 20 starts. next season 10 starts season after loan to Everton/West Ham/Villa season after out of contract and move to Sheffield United or back to Leeds season after released and gradual descent into punditry.

Rodwell is better than Phillips. I think people dont realise how shit Phillips is Phillips is garbage but City needed an English player.

foreveryoung Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Remember, the big clubs will still buy players just so other clubs can't have them. This is why man City have bought Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 He will hardly play because he can barely control a ball. Astonishingly bizarre signing for Man City. Not that I give a toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
