Enciso, eh? I wonder if that is a story that might be about to grow legs. Makes a lot of sense to my transfer-conspiracy-addled brain.
Now my theory is, he could replacee Alvarez - who we understand is Bayern's backup plan for Kane. I'd then assume we got a tasty passing midfielder. And possibly even one, two more. Because you could throw Phillips on that plane.
And then everyone is happy. The art is getting people to where they are needed. We would prefer a forward with more pace / flair. Alvarez gets the starting slot - he can get goals and do the work for Bayern. Philips could be their "proper" number 6. And we'd snap their hands off if they offered us a certain 'unwanted' unique inside-fb/midfielder who is currently as close as they have to a 6.
And then... hmm. One more, teeny, UEFA thin mint (player)?
