They’re not , it’s just a case of a shiny new toy. Every single one is a downgrade on what we currently have (although Alvarez does excite me for his future potential).

Bellingham can replace Gundogan next year!Feels like he’d be some sort of stocking filler if we got him. I just don’t get it. We’ve been here before ala Ridwell etc. Haven’t we learnt anything. I don’t see how he makes us stronger tbh. Bellingham is the one we need. Just pay them what they want and throw in some EDS.

agreedPhilips is not good enough simple as that
When KDB is another year older etc. He would thrive in this team next season. He already has a good connection with Haaland. He could play the defensive side next season and move further forward in time. And who knows how bad Gundos back is. Now is the time to stamp our markBellingham can replace Gundogan next year!

Looking at his other half today, I’d think his back would be shot to pieces mate.When KDB is another year older etc. He would thrive in this team next season.

Samsung ?Surely we can do better than Phillips?
People saying Phillips isn't good enough and almost 27. Yeah, you could be right.
But, we signed fernandinho when he was older from shakhtar and realistically very few people had ever heard of him. Turned out well.

man it wasn't even that long ago where the likes of fernando, javi garcia and jack rodwell were our CDM's. i'll gladly take kalvin phillips to be a rotation option on the cheap, settle down.
some of you here want a bombastic 70m+ signing for every signing. that's not a serious way to run a football club. we've already replaced fernandinho years ago, his name is Rodri.
