Tell him to pack his belongings and leave my club immediately, because I DO NOT TOLERATE LAZY players…I can’t be paying high salary on Him and not benefiting from Him’: Manchester City owner has ordered Pep Guardiola they must sell £43 million FLOP as soon as possible or risk losing their jobs
Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Kalvin Phillips to quit Manchester City in January and join Newcastle United, a club he would ‘walk into’.
Phillips has struggled for minutes at the Etihad Stadium yet again this season, appearing in just eight games in all competitions for a total of 215 minutes.
Even when Rodri was suspended earlier this season, Pep Guardiola showed a lack of faith in the England international.
The Spaniard was sent off against Nottingham Forest and missed three games as a result. Phillips was given just one start in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle United, but he blew it.
There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Phillips and his near future, and now Agbonlahhor has pushed him to leave in January…
Gabby Agbonlahor wants Kalvin Phillips to leave Manchester City and join Newcastle United.
Phillips was named on talkSPORT this morning by analyst Gabby Agbonlahor as a player who needed to depart.
“This is the biggest one in the Premier League, he has to go,” he remarked. For the sake of his professional career. 27 years old, he should be playing his best football of his career at Leeds. He’s only made 16 appearances for City, which is insufficient.
“When you’ve got a player like Rodri who’s never been injured, never really gets sent off – apart from the one he got a few weeks ago – he’s going to play the majority of the games, Pep’s shown that he doesn’t trust Phillips,” says Pep.
“Let’s finish this, get him to Newcastle, they’ve lost Tonali.” He slips right into that Newcastle team and fits into that defensive midfield role.”
Phillips must be removed immediately.
Without a doubt, Phillips must leave City in the next window for the sake of his career.
His decision to stay at the club over the summer to compete for a starting spot was great, but it has become evident that there is no risk of him playing ahead of Rodri, and he is unlikely to feature often.
The £150,000-a-week star must leave because he is now in a position where his England place is in jeopardy.
During the international break, Phillips received just a brief cameo from Gareth Southgate, who then did not play him against North Macedonia, which Joe Cole interpreted as a message from the manager.
Phillips must find a new club in January if he wants to avoid losing out on Euro 2024.
Fabrizio Romano has indicated that he is extremely likely to move, and that everything will work out for him wherever he goes.
