It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Mad 4 It]

Is the Kalvin Phillips link a joke? If we are raiding Leeds then Raphinha would be the one and even that is stretching it. If we are going down that route then the EDS is the first place to look for.

Agree

 

[Mad 4 It]

Phillips has very good passing range. Don’t know how good he is defensively. Would be another weapon to our side. He could play very well in our high possession based team

Looks good in a poor team

 

[argyle]

As others have posted, he's relatively cheap for an England starter and would likely accept rotation with Rodri, who is our Fernandinho heir.

We need legs and a bit of bite, he has both.

My only issue would be his ongoing injury problems, although Leeds do seem have have a lot of them.

Supposed to be a fantastic lad and very humble.

Something Pep does appreciate.

Not sure Rodri is Fernandinho's heir.

Top player but Fern could marshall the midfield by himself whereas Rodri needs Bernardo and Foden, etc to do the running for him.

 

[TonyM]

He's not really an England starter, he got Henderson's spot because of injury in the Euros and both of them are just keeping the seat warm for Bellingham.

By the end of the year I'd expect he's out of the side and not getting back in.

I'd take 10 JWP's before Phillips.

How many JWPs are there?

 

[ScottSinclair]

Remember Bielsa's visit to the Etihad last summer?

Amongst other things, Phillips was raised.

United want him but he told them he would never join that club.

He'll do for me!!

Suddenly I became more open to signing him

Bloody hell mate,all for difference of opinions....but he's been our player of season and probably the best defensive midfielder in the league.

 

[bobmcfc]

Why would we need him though, we have probably the best squad depth for centre backs in the league.

Not when they're all injured all the time

Just the one vastly overrated one at Southampton.

Rodri has fernandinhos hair?

JWP stunk the place out last night, I get they played with flip flops on but it was the worst performance I've seen from him in a while. Phillips would be a decent option for 25 mill.

If not, i think we'll go Nunes this yr and then Bellingham 2023 to replace Gundo.

The thing I like about him which was shown when he was playing in the euros, was that physicality he showed, he was going through players to win the ball, sometimes sending players flying. He’d bring some thing different to our team

 

[Tugay One Cup]

How many JWPs are there?

James Ward-Prowse

James Wright-Phillips

That's as far as I've got.

Are the RSPCA involved?

 

[argyle]

Bloody hell mate,all for difference of opinions....but he's been our player of season and probably the best defensive midfielder in the league.

As I said he's a good player but is immobile. When Gundogan is next to him the midfield is bypassed more than if Bernardo comes back into midfield to help him.

 

[richards30]

We can have good players in every position though.

This guy is Delph level of midfielder. Not good enough for us at all.

Hoping we can do better.

Delph didn’t turn out too bad though? We can’t have top class players in every position?

 

[bobmcfc]

Wasn't aware of that it's funny how the shit doesn't stick with these footballers! It was the same when we were after bonnuci too

I had no idea and now it's a big no from me

 

[Mad 4 It]

Loan someone else for a year and then get Bellingham if he won’t leave this summer

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Replace "probably" with "certainly" and "league" with "world"

 

[argyle]

Yeah he was bad. Had one good season when made to play left back.

Like i said we dont have to have top class but we can have good. Imo Phillips isn't good. He's found his level with Leeds.

 

[FantasyIreland]

He is the perfect fit.

Great attitude,great engine,and just the right level of quality to be the understudy or compliment if needed.

Makes good sense.
