Should we go for Kalvin Phillips?

[simplyared]

Can’t really call him a city player so don’t see it as controversial if we signed him.

Considering the state of our recruitments so far we really cannot afford to get it wrong, yet we need to invest further.

Tbf feels like a risk whoever we bring in.

I’m undecided?

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Feck no!

 

[dutchred]

no way

 

[Champ]

Jesus no,

 

[Livewire1974]

Absolutely not.

 

[rimaldo]

looks like beggars can be choosers.

 

[TwoSheds]

He's a lazy prick. We obviously need more of them.

 

[adexkola]

Don't think some in the fan base would take kindly to him being a Leeds player

He'd do a better job in midfield than any of our midfielders bar Casemiro. But his baggage of being an ex City, ex Leeds player, sitting on the bench for 18 months doing nothing, rumors of him being lazy... No go

 

[Gazautd18]

More chance getting his dad.

 

[Plant0x84]

No thank you.

 

[simplyared]

Obviously his almost complete lack of game time is a problem. That said he's competng with Rodri for his place. Crazy even so having him on the bench for so long. Must have got on the wrong side of Pep. Same thing happened with Zlatan at Bacelona who then went on to AC Milan and PSG. Spent 4 seasons at the latter scoring a total of 154 goals.

Couldn't see anybody moaning when we got Cantona from Leeds.

 

[AshRK]

Yes, why not. We are shit anways , can add more shit to it.

 

[DWelbz19]

Our fans all complain about lazy overpaid players who have no desire or application … your solution is to sign Kalvin Phillips?

 

[FireballXL5]

No, we should not.

 

[tob]

Based on his performance at Leeds, I'd take him. Whenever I saw him playing for Leeds, he was running up and down the pitch, almost like a man possessed. That was under the Bielsa-era as well, and that man has some high criteria.

Bit surprised that it hasn't worked out for Phillips at City. Thought he would develop into a complete midfielder under Pep, but for some reason he hasn't. He doesn't strike me as a lazy person, but I don't know. Even Stones plays more in midfield than him, so maybe that says something.

Alan Smith as well.
Can't remember if any United fans were moaning about him, but I don't think so.

 

[DJ_21]

As if this is even a conversation. He’s rubbish.

 

[didz]

The diehard Leeds fan who has publicly said that there was no chance of him playing for us due to club loyalties? No, I don't think we should waste our time.

The talent and character of Zlatan Vs that of Kalvin Phillips...hard to say what difference there might be.

 

[Mainoldo]

Lock this one.

 

[SouthMancRed]

United signing the best player of any club shouldn't be a problem. Signing squad players from the likes of Man City and the scousers to go into our first team is a total no-no though. It's bad enough picking up Chelsea bench warmers.

 

[Northstand]

[pocco]

He's shit, it was obvious this would happen at City. He was woeful in one game in particular that I remember against us for Leeds and he got benched the next time we played them. He was just all over the place but in the bad type of way. Positionally awful for the type of role he wants to play.

 

[Jersey Heel]

I’d rather get the large girl from Wilson Phillips.

That wasn't a fair reflection of his ability. He just hates us so much that his teammates at Leeds had to calm him down when they faced us. Also, he's not that good. And he plays for City.

 

[Salt Bailly]

Yes. It's about time we signed someone on whose fitness we can rely.

 

[The Cat]

No or Toney neither of them even like United.

 

[hobbers]

Diehard Leeds fan, ex City, below-mediocre English plod of a midfielder with no standout traits... a poundland Scott Parker.

Yeah sounds great.

 

[Himannv]

You see some real strange ideas on here.

 

[Physiocrat]

Only if we have Daniel Passarella as manager.

 

[bond19821982]

I would rather have Rodri

 

[yumtum]

Didn't he publicly say he'd never join us as he and his family are die hard Leeds supporters?

Feck him, let him rot in the corrupt part of Manchester.

 

[DJ Jeff]

Only if we have Daniel Passarella as manager.

Can you explain what this means, what does Passarella have to do with Leeds?

 

[Giggsy13]

feck sakes….

 

[cj_sparky]

I'd rather take Kevin Phillips, I'm sure he could still bang in a few goals at 50.

 

[DON’T PANIC ™]

Press will print anything these days as they know Utd fans will click no matter what.

 

[Erictheking7]

Errrrr NOOOOO feckin way

 

[sullydnl]

I have no idea why we would.

Would you really?
