Those Yorkshire Pirlo rumours just won't go awsy@

Apparently Kalvin Phillips will be back at Leeds next season like if or not! Promotion or not!
Journalist Graham Bailey has told the Leeds Press that the 29 year old returning to Leeds is a deal that will be done in the summer, even if Leeds don't go up this season.
However as sentimental as it would be to see "one of our own" back in a white shirt, a huge proportion of the fan base would need to be won over.
It will be three years since Phillips sought pastures new, it could be argued that his insistence to join Man City only prevented Leeds getting a bigger fee for him than the reported £40m his sale generated.
What is certain though is the move has been an utter disaster for him, going from one of the first names on the England team sheet to being unable to make the City matchday squad.
Similarly, loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich have hardly raised his stock.
Whilst he'll always hold a special place in our hearts, many myself included feel we've moved on from him now and a return however cute that might be, is out of the question especially if a fee of £30m is true.
Thanks for the memories Kalv but its hard to see where you'd fit in and improve our squad.
