His 19 games for England don't count?Are you paying for a top long-term quality after detailed scrutiny or are we going to overpay for a 27-year-old, not a top-class player from a nearly-relegated side? It's simply ridiculous.
No just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.
Gladly eat humble pie if he comes and is any good.Like every other player we have sign past season.
"Not player we need" and then few season later the line is aged pretty well.
United wants de jong.
De jong want champions league so wont go united. He wants us.
City considers de jong but wont pay 80 million euros.
With that money city can buy cocurella and phillips.
City needs left back as well.
So phillips is the choice.
barca need to do the business as soon as possible in order to but other targets like lewandowsky.
Barca wont buy or exchange dejong with sterling.
We want to offload sterliing as he is in the last year of his contract.
Sterling doesnt want to go arsenal or spurs (which he considers downgrade).
Real and barca do not come for sterling.
so the domino effect...
You won't have to, he is not an upgrade or on level with what we have and never will be, rather see us keep zivchenko and use him as a converted deep lying midfielder as back up to rodri, he would still be better than philips.Gladly eat humble pie if he comes and is any good.
Am sure Tolmie said last a third deal was done?
yeah he did mate but nothing obvious yet who it was.
pretty sure Cucurella is agreed and in the final stages, everything seems to be pointing in that direction
There are very few players in our squad who are genuine back up's , most rotate.. Some get fewer games than others but virtually all will get a run in the team . We need payers who are first team quality.40-50M£ is a lot of money for a backup DM IMO. A lot.
Given that we don’t have anyone at all, now that Fernandinho is leaving, that’s a tad harsh on Phillips. ;-)No just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.
First morning…”Hi Boss…what would you like me to do”??then that would be a brilliant piece of business mate! Really think he is a cracking player already, think what pep can do with him!
You don't know that at all. You are basing your opinion on him playing elsewhereNo just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.
Obviously if we buy Phillips the top level coaches that have worked with Zincheko every day for years think you are wrong.You won't have to, he is not an upgrade or on level with what we have and never will be, rather see us keep zivchenko and use him as a converted deep lying midfielder as back up to rodri, he would still be better than philips.
You've got to remember, there are a lot of people on here who have a greater knowledge than our management team and if they were in charge, the club would not be in the turmoil, that we are in now !!!You don't know that at all. You are basing your opinion on him playing elsewhere

No one is an upgrade on Rodri…No just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.
