I wouldn't mind him as a back up solely for when Rodri is injured, knackered or out of form but would he really want that to be his role at 26?

Decent business if so. I believe Phillips had a 25mil release cause if relegated? (May be wrong on this?) And then 35 mill for cucurella. Shores up two positions needed. Haaland for the £60mil plus alvarez joining. Key spots were lb, cm and st. I think that leaves us with one more as per tolmie's 5?
I swear our scouting department just consists of people watching match of the day highlights once a week. Surely there is better out there in Europe

I think he will play a lot if he signs for 5 years. Pep doesn’t trust Foden or Grealish in the middle, so playing a viable double pivot of Rodri and Phillips would make it an option to play a different formation.

No harm in enquiring, I guess. Fair play if he backs himself to impress as well.

Can play 6 or 8, cut price, English, makes sense to ask.
I'm not sure about this.
I think he is an Arsenal/Spurs level player. He's good but not great.
He's 26 years old and going on 27 next year, He hasn't had a good season this year.
It feels like it would be a Delph/Ake type signing, If he is content with being rotated and having to fight his way into the XI for big games, and it only costs 30M, why not. But as the main midfielder I would not like it.
But that can't be the only midfielder we bring in this summer.
