It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Xhavenjoe]

don't know if you guys noticed this but former NYCFC striker and current Giriona striker Taty Castellanos scored 4 goals against Real Madrid

I think he is still a NYCFC player, just on loan at moment.

Giving phillips time like mahrez,grealish,rodri was not great in first season and look at them now

The key difference between Mahrez, Grealish, Rodri etc and Phillips is that Pep played them even though they did not look great. Phillips does not get a game because he is not considered good enough.

Hmmm.. maybe it could happen if West Ham and Leeds don't.

He's on our books for about £40m, if they match that I've no objection.

Ake didn't play alot in his first season, many people considered him back then wasted purchase not knowing a significant amount of injury in single season can affect thing.

What if any of those you mentioned above get injury like Ake and Philips in their first season, I'm pretty sure the reaction from fanbase like here for example will be exactly same like philips once they got back to the squad not seeing them get amount of play like Philips and already judged them not good enough if Pep didn't play them constantly, not knowing maybe Pep just doesn't want to distrupt thing to keep momentum winning at the most critical part of season not have time to play philips in lone dm position the most difficult position in the most complex system of play designed by Pep ever.

100%, he will have many suitors, money back at the very least with no pay off.

Delap 10M not a chance, Cancelo 50M not a chance

And why do we need 2 cb's?

Gvardiol is the one we want
