He`s gone up market. Its now tuna.

If that’s true, he’s dead to me.

As they said in the Codfather "He sleeps with the fishes".

hopefully he will do better than Jack Rodwell.

Honestly. I bet you’d rate him if he was joining United…

are you of them posters who wanted a £80m plus signing to rotate/back rodri up then?

Honest to god some people are just never happy. An England International for £42m. 26 years old and his stats show he has potential to push Rodri all the way.

Fans who think we can go and splash £80m-£100m on replacements need to get real.

I hope Phillips proves all the doubters wrong but you can already tell he's being setup as the new scape goat of the team, will never be good enough etc

Very true that. It’s strange how underrated he is, not every midfielder can be as good as Silva or De Bruyne, and we don’t need them to be, defensive midfield is a completely different role.

I don’t understand why some people need to get on a certain player’s back, he hasn’t even played a game for us yet! I don’t recall anyone making De Jong a scapegoat, or more recently Zinchenko, yet neither have the skills of Foden or Silva, so why is that an issue with Phillips?

Look at some of the prices teams have paid for poorer players (especially those dickheads across town!). Phillips is very good value these days and I believe he’ll be a great addition to the squad.

Exactly, sky had some stats yesterday where he out-performed Rodri for interceptions, duels won etc

Rodri was for me our player of the season.

Maybe some fans would rather we asked Javi Garcia to cancel his retirement and come back

I predict he will be the opposite of a scapegoat. He'll become a fan favorite because of his aggression and tough tackling.

Apparently Txiki is obsessed with him & Pep is a fan so that will do for me.
