Hence they aren't close , he's a violent man, thief ( locked up at Thorp arch) unlike his son who is a role model to kids here and a loving grandson, son with a long term Mrs and another welcome addition to the best team in the land and all the world!

winds me up the way sky say 45 to 50 yet muen and bbc say 42 + 3 which is obviously offset by DG moving the other way for 5

what makes them say it could reach 50? have they added the 5 we are receiving to the 42 +3 to make a 50m deal?

I think they add the wages, the food we serve him, flights it will cost to get to and from games and the electricity bill whilst he’s in the building too mate

A little weird that Lilly just left as I could see us embracing a 4-2-3-1 of sorts even more than we sort of played last year. I know a lot of folks have been talking about it but it makes sense as KDB ages to free him more and more from truly playing a box to box 8 and probably foden and Grealish could both spell him at a 10

Lilly? Damned if I can work out what your spell correction has done there.
 
Not read the whole thread but in all honesty I don't rate him. Not a patch on Sterling who has bucket loads of experience.
 
I saw this, sky are desperate to make out he’s better than Rodri for comments and views but you only have to look at how the two teams play to know whilst Phillips stats are very good, he’s no Rodri

We actually played it before Lilo came as well. This was when we had Mendy on the left wing with a holding midfield duo of Rodri and Gundo, both who got blasted for their performances. We couldn't stop counter attacks, but we were playing with Fernandinho and Otamendi as our CB pairing as well.

If Pep wants one of the fullbacks like Cancelo or Cucurella to be high on the wing, then we will probably go 4-2-3-1. If he wants the wingers to hold the width then he'll play Walker as the RB more in a defensive role and play the 4-3-3 IMO.
