wtf is on his feet
He's from Leeds, probably took the phrase "fill your boots son" literally.
Quavers.
Looks like he’s visiting a crime scene.
No that's just Leeds
Feet like HIM from The Powerpuff Girls.
Feels like just another Rodwell to me.
Rodwell / Sinclair / Delph
Sounds like a law firm
City are very good at scouting and signing things
This one confuses me quite a lot. Maybe I'll be proved wrong.

Very meh signing for them
Never thought he was anything special, but i'm not going to pretend i know better than a top manager. Probably the eye test was wrong.
He looks like he was in pantomime and forgot to change his shoes after
Pretty much; though I think he'll be a better signing than Rodwell.
Thought he loved Leeds? Jumped ship quick enough
This signing does not scare me in the slightest, bang average and I am happy they signed him over someone better.
Is it me or are City's signing seemingly happening multiple times? Halaand joining City was reported again and again and then finally when he officially joined again people started discussing it aftesh. Maybe we never created special threads for opposition players signibgs before ? It was transfer thread and that's it.
Where does he fit in with England now? Surely can’t be a starter in the World Cup when he barely plays now.
Career suicide
Beggars can't be choosers. We've got feck all in MF and I'd rather Phillips over Rice (assuming Bellingham starts)
I think it’ll be Rice and Bellingham/Henderson. Southgate is very loyal to his soldiers.
In fact it would be a very Southgate thing to still play Kalvin.
Why? Rice is 10x the player Philips is which has always been the case and Rice has only got better since. Bellingham should be nailed on next to rice.
Literally forgot about him.
One of the worst moves he could have made. His competition is Rodri. One of the best #6's in the world. He never had a chance.
Southgate starting him wouldn't surprise me. He'll probably start Maguire as well.

Looking for the mental gymnastics Southgate uses for picking.
Rice is an automatic starter. It's one of Henderson, Phillips or Bellingham alongside him.
Mount is in terrible form though so perhaps Southgate will go ultra negative and play all three.
Who?
One of the most pointless signings ever.
Forgot he existed and only remembered he moved to City when I saw him warming up on the sidelines.
Aw well, the money's great, eh?
Him and Ake just chilling on fat money
I think the plan from Man. City was to pair him in some games with Rodri....but then he's up against Gundogan, KDB so you're really not going to pick him to start above those unless you want to rest them before a big CL tie.
Such a pointless signing. Completely out of his depth compared to his teammates in midfield. This was very obvious from the start. He was average squad filler.
In a World Cup year too. Ridiculous
Was brilliant when he came on.
He'll be fine, he's being eased in after his injuries. He'll play alot with Rodri ahead of Gundogan when we use the 4231.
His place in the England team couldn't be any safer to be fair.
Just because Southgate gonna Southgate? Because it really should be Rice and Bellingham
Yep, Rice and Phillips is nailed on.
