You know we aren’t planning for Bellingham next year ?We need to raise the bar Liverpool has Fabinho and going after Tchouameni and next year they are planning for bellingham.
He had experience in getting beaten consistently in the champions league and won a few Ukrainian league's which is as bad a league as you will find, as for the youth cup - he was 28, get real! Phillips has PL experience and played on the biggest stage at the Euro's, a couple of penalties away from a winners medal. Please don't rewrite history to say we were buying a superstar in fernandinho, or that Phillips couldn't replicate his success based on where both are/were when/if we bought themFernandinho had bags of Champions League experience and had won a couple of league titles and a youth team winners medal with Brazil
Still came from a better background and he had better stats (even cheekily compared himself to Yaya Toure when we were linked to him)He had experience in getting beaten consistently in the champions league and won a few Ukrainian league's which is as bad a league as you will find, as for the youth cup - he was 28, get real!

how dare you they have jesse marshStill came from a better background.
You're referencing a single match, which I guarantee you know about in hindsight to misconstrue what I've said in 2 ways.So I take it you didn’t watch shakhtar vs chelsea ? hes not fit to lace fern’s boot .
1) I didn't say fernandinho was a bad player, just that he was a relative unknown at 28. He was. He'd never played in a major league and had 3 or 4 caps in friendlies.
2) that I think Phillips is as good as him.
My point is that certain posters are saying he's too old or not a big enough name. Dinho was older and less known yet he turned out to be a smasher and club legend. Some players only find their true potential when they arrive at city

Everyone needs to chill out a bit, plenty of time for lots of rumours, and you can be sure that we will have lots of irons in the fire.
I sense a good summer.

He will be sent off every other week. One of his weaknesses is discipline.having a player like phillips allows our creative players to breath up top more. instead of having our forwards play CB all game
Again, I'm not comparing the players just the fact that dinho was essentially a nobody before he came to city and flourished. No reason why that can't happen again.Still came from a better background and he better stats (even cheekily compared himself to Yaya Toure when we were linked to him)
Some posters are too hung up on age, profile, trophies when assessing potential signings. I'm actually using dinho as a massively positive example
