What kind of midfielder is he? His numbers look good from an attacking sense but does he have a defensive side to his game? I've not kept up to date on the French league for a while.

He definitely is an attacking midfielder, but also solid defensively. I’ll post the WhoScored summary which I think is a good representation, and also add a word for his ball control, playmaking and high pressing. Basically, perfect for us

Well from the looks of this and the ten minutes I've just watched of him he looks really well rounded. Even his weak foot seems solid.

I'll try and watch a game or two when I can because he looks exciting.

In my head I've already accepted that this season is Bernardo's swansong with City. That way, if he chooses to stay then it will feel like a new signing and if he goes then at least I got to appreciate his last few months that little bit more.

Having said that, I can't help but feel sad typing it out.

same mate .
1/7 to stay though .

I’m skeptical because it’s Romano, but if he’s actually on to something, I’ll let him off the hook for a year

Leeds entertaining bids on Phillips, surprised we've not been linked more. It would be a simple fit and story you would think.

Good point - there wasn't too much difference in quality between Phillips & Rice when they were playing together in the England team as CDMs in the Euros.

If you wanted a 'pep midfielder' pre trained. 3-4 seasons under Beisla would be the one.

I’m curious what the people who were quick to claim Rice were overhyped on his thread think of Phillips. I personally don’t think he’s much special (and I’ve just jinxed the Saturday game lol)
