and I said that I don't think we should pay 60m for Tchouameni - not because he's not good, but because I don't think we need a player for that price for that position. I think we need a 30-40m player and i'd be happy with phillips for that priceI still remember when we had an argument about paying £60M for Tchouameni. And now we’re here for Kalvin fucking Phillips lmao
That’s not what I meant. I meant that you were outraged by the same fee towards a far superior prospect, now we’re stuck with Phillips, who worries more because we don’t do “backups” and I don’t think he’s up for anywhere near the demands. People’s memory of him under Bielsa isn’t of his good performances but rather this notion that he must have been quite good if they went to shit when he got injured, which isn’t true. It will be quite depressing if United get FDJ for a similar fee to us with this guy — like you said earlier, it DOES matterand I said that I don't think we should pay 60m for Tchouameni - not because he's not good, but because I don't think we need a player for that price for that position.

Give me a break. That’s the other hilarious argument “not all players have to be superstars!!!” lmao I can’t do thisDon't really need Declan Rice. Kalvin Phillips; even though it doesn't seem exciting is the more logical choice
well, first of all as you can see, tchouameni is going for 100m, not 60mThat’s not what I meant.

That's what I call the two failures next door. Vic and Tim."The name's Tim. Victor Tim. My friends (if I had any) call me Vic".
They play in exactly the same position? But one is a superior player.Don't really need Declan Rice. Kalvin Phillips; even though it doesn't seem exciting is the more logical choice
Aka KFP.I still remember when we had an argument about paying £60M for Tchouameni. And now we’re here for Kalvin fucking Phillips lmao
If Rodri wasn't at the club then I could really see your point of view in signing Declan RiceGive me a break. That’s the other hilarious argument “not all players have to be superstars!!!” lmao I can’t do this
Rodri is superior to both but really just need something different. I am not pretending that he is anything close to the next Andrea Pirlo but still provides depth that is currently lackingThey play in exactly the same position? But one is a superior player.
I consider those claiming even 35 mil for Phillips is too much to be grossly undervaluing him...What do you consider a 'gross undervaluing'?
Again, I am just comparing our previous discussion and how we have fallen. We had the same argument before for Tchouameni and now we’re having about Phillips. I know Tchouameni went for more.well, first of all as you can see, tchouameni is going for 100m, not 60m
second of all, I agree taht techoameni is superior, but I think with him he's worth the price, philipps isn't, and I don't want either of them for that price. I would take FDJ for this price because I think he's more versatile and can save us money down the road once gundo leaves
Maybe we have other plans instead of FDJ. Just not for this summer.Again, I am just comparing our previous discussion and how we have fallen. We had the same argument before for Tchouameni and now we’re having about Phillips. I know Tchouameni went for more.
The thing with FDJ isn’t even that he’d work as a Gundogan replacement but I’d go even further and say he’d be a KDB level protagonist when in two or three years. A player like him isn’t available every season and Barcelona is on a sale, which makes the opportunity even tastier. And we’d be stopping United who make no mistake, with ETH won’t be in the shit as under the past few managers.
Gus I’ll be honest I haven’t seen much of Tchouameni but I’ve seen you mention him a few times. Can you give me a quick brief of the sort of player he is like.Again, I am just comparing our previous discussion and how we have fallen.

Rodri and Rice are not the same player. Rodri is superior but I don’t know if Rice under Pep couldn’t even surpass him. Whereas I know with 100% confidence that even with Pep Phillips won’t be near Rice under Moyes lmao. Now imagine Pep leaving after next season and we’re stuck with him. Great prospect! Maybe we sign Bielsa as the successorRodri is superior to both but really just need something different. I am not pretending that he is anything close to the next Andrea Pirlo but still provides depth that is currently lacking
The rumor is that Rice is a Chelsea fan who wants to join Chelsea, and Chelsea are likely to bid for him and offer the security in mins a player of his reputation wants. I just think City have chosen to try get an alternative who wants to come here and accepts that Rodri is main guy as CDM. But thats just my simple layman's guess, I obviously have no clue if thats really the case:)Depressing to think Rice could be done for around £75M if reports from today are to be believed
Oh the Bellingham dream. I’m not holding my breathMaybe we have other plans instead of FDJ. Just not for this summer.
You are joking right? What good are the 2 failed finals? LMFAO...Three CL finals and 1 CL trophy. I would love to have that kind of result. Maybe in the future.
Tune in for the France game right now, he’s playing. Alongside Kamara! Ugh…Gus I’ll be honest I haven’t seen much of Tchouameni but I’ve seen you mention him a few times. Can you give me a quick brief of the sort of player he is like.
Are Madrid not stacked in midfield positions as well.
