Alex Stewart explains. Illustrated by Henry Cooke.

  1. Phillips is coming home to Carrington. This whole De Jong saga is a cover up by Haag as Kalvin is his true target with kalvin a center-piece for Haag-Ball.

  2. Berbatov reckons man utd should sign him because he is too good for a club like leeds if Bielsa hangs around for a few years leeds will be wiping the floor with clubs like man utd and Phillips has got until 24' on his contract

  3. He's very good at winning the ball back as well as playing short and long passes. He can also make runs towards the box and play in the forwards. All of this is capped off by his surprising free kick ability. Top player and top lad.

  4. Bielsa has this habit of turning unknowns into stars, the guy has a great eye for talent!

    He made Javier Mascherano debut in the Argentina National Team before he had even played one game with his own club first team! Talk about spotting!

  5. En Argentina, Phillips es el 8 y Rice, el 5…Mas fácil de explicar….Es el mismo tándem que hacían Vieira/Petit. En la selección juega mas de Petit y en el Leeds, de Vieira.

  6. Amazes me how every tournament, whichever manager we have, they always overlook players like Kalvin Phillips and don't get a sniff in the team. I hope his performance is the start of seeing players from teams out of the top 5 + Tottenham get more play time. Still baffled by the fact Max Aarons didn't even get a mention in the provisional squad. Second best right back behind Trent
