It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[trublue55]

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,

No offence, had to laugh, is there anybody who is 26 years old, who is NOT going on 27 next year?

So we could be looking at
I
Haaland-£51mill
Alvarez-£15.3 mill
Nunes-£30mill
Phillips -£25mill
Cucorella-£30mill

OUT
Porro-£7 mill
Angelino-£16.2mill
Torres -£49.5mill
Jesus- £40+mill

pretty much a £40mill spend for the summer without any other outgoings

mid that happens then it will be Txiki’s best window so far.

Philips is not good enough simple as that

Bellingham in about 9 years.

I can't believe we've sold angelino for 3 years in a row now, amazing business

Yeah he was bad. Had one good season when made to play left back.

Like i said we dont have to have top class but we can have good. Imo Phillips isn't good. He's found his level with Leeds.

But what if he came up levels with better players and a much better manager?

 

[LucahArchie10]

Philips can certainly put his foot in & break up play & his best asset is definitely tackling

Going forward & delivering once he's broken play up isn't at a level City need

Box to box he is 5 out of 10

Maybe Pep could work with him but not abig fan

It's almost 'Coutinhoesque'.

 

[DeBlueLou]

As others have posted, he's relatively cheap for an England starter and would likely accept rotation with Rodri, who is our Fernandinho heir.

We need legs and a bit of bite, he has both.

My only issue would be his ongoing injury problems, although Leeds do seem have have a lot of them.

Supposed to be a fantastic lad and very humble.

Something Pep does appreciate.

I’d LOVE Phillips. Seems like a perfect fit for the squad and club.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I’m a little uncomfortable with the downgrade in some of these targets and hoping they’re bluffs. I can’t be the only one seeing this. Other clubs are aiming higher. Haaland won’t solve all our problems

Squad needs bulking up too, can’t all be expensive superstars.

Cucurella and someone like Phillips or Ward-Prowse would be decent fillers and not cost the earth.
