He's a very good player we know that because we wouldn't have bought him otherwise. What we don't know and couldn't know when we bought him is whether he has the football intelligence and mentallity to be a DM in a Pep team. Maybe over the summer we'll find out if Pep and the player believe he has that.I don't know whether Phillips is a good player or not, frankly, but I think you're absolutely right, people completely lose their perspective. That he can't get into the best club side in the world at present — I say that coolly, level-headedly and unironically — does not mean that he's crap.
