Sure, to replace Phillips, fantastic, but not an upgrade on anything else we have. We need to sign at least 1 player who can make us better in some regard. Otherwise, we are worse than we were with KDB/Kyle one year older, and a few years on the wrong side of 30.Pep had him earmarked as Fernandinhos' replacement until we couldn't get a work permit. £35m for an upgrade on Phillips seems a no-brainer to me
If we don't lose anybody, then Luiz feels like a good deal, but if a major player leaves, than we seriously need to add some quality.
