I like to think two factors played a part in signing Phillips.
Bielsa who improved him a lot and might have informed Pep and Txiki about some more potential.
Better players around him directheid player to make the step up, like he has shown in parts for England.
Mentality wise he is all you can wish for. Think he’s eager to learn, therefore I think this is an interesting addition. But he needs to step up, that’s a certainty.

I think he will prove to be a stellar signing,..love the fact being a Leeds boy he made it clear that Man Yoo was never an option

Let’s face it, Pep never gets it wrong
I have just been signed up by the "what's app group " in place of the now redundant Delooney,who is now available for bahmitzas,weddings and funerals.

Well rarely :)
He sometimes picks the wrong team from the talent he has available.

Mendy?
Injuries and his own actions imploded what could of been a great signing. If u look back his actions from the start maybe hinted he didn't take it as serious as he should of.. even though it was funny at the time.. think its a case of thinking you've made it already

He came on as a late sub in one of the last 2 England games and I paid a little bit more attention to him than I normally would as we were runoured to be interested, and I saw that the guy has really good passing ability - apart from his physicality and ability to run all day. I think he'll be a great addition, and at £42m, that is another unbelievable piece of business.
Do I remember rightly - Liverpool gave Milner another year, didn't they?

He is one of our worst signings ever for me £ for £.
I'm not denying it- just providing the reasoning behind why it didn't work- to blame it on pep would be to suggest that his quality wasn't there- his first few games for us showed his quality

Until his trial (and possible conviction) we can't say "bad signing" on the grounds of what is alleged, but we can say "bad signing" on the grounds of football, because he's spent a lot of time injured anyway, and lets face it not been a great player anyway for much of the time selected.

Definitely a bad signing. Pep rarely gets it's wrong in the transfer market we've done unbelievably well in the windows since Peps arrival at the club. We've had some really bad signings over the years and sometimes numerous bad signings in one window under previous managers.
I think we can let Pep away with the Mendy one.
