Feck knows what Phillips has to do with De Jong. Completely different players.
Maybe we should have sacked off Haaland because I've heard that we could have signed Ramsey on a free transfer.
You could play Ederson defensive midfield as well if you wanted to.De Jong can function as a regista, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, holding midfielder, box-to-box midfielder and centre back.
Phillips is a defensive midfielder with a great passing range
That is what they have to do with each other
We turned down £27m in 2019 when we were in the Championship. Considering English tax he’s at least £60m.Philips alledged release clause was only dependent on relegation, so Leeds would want nearer 40 mil for him, Barca have, already if reports are correct decided to take a loss on DeJong to the tune of £15M so would be available for around £50M.
For me no brainers, philips wouldn't get a look in if these reported figure were true.

I don't need some copy and paste football manager terminology. De Jong is not a defensive midfielder end of.
Unless we are losing Bernardo and or Gundogan we won't be singing De Jong.
There's not a cat in hells chance we're paying that for Phillips. There are better options within that price range.We turned down £27m in 2019 when we were in the Championship. Considering English tax he’s at least £60m.
He is a huge upgrade on a 36 year old Fernandinho,No just no he is not an upgrade on what we have.
Not sure how the club can make it any clearer that Phillips is the target unless they put out an official statement themselves. So clearly the club don't see De Jong as that player or he would be signing for us as he is seemingly desperate to and Barca are desperate to raise funds. We would have also shut down all the Phillips rumors which we haven't done.It isn't from football mangager, I have not owned a games console since I was 22 and have never played football game.
Since we knew a we were losing Ferdy only 2 players have been rumoured as a possible replacement DM or DLM thats DeJong and Philips, because you don't see him in that position doesn't mean the club thinks the same.
I have no idea who we are in for to replace ferdy and really am not arsed if we sign either, I will back whoever we sign
However as they have been the 2 mentioned already, they can be discussed together as options on here if people wish, doesn't matter if anyone disagrees on the matter as no one actually knows, but are still free to mention it.

Silva and gundo not leaving 100% sure. Gundo confirmed it himself and silva wants to stay and might sign a contract extension. De jong to city just doesn't make sense. He is a good player but you are not paying 70 million for a bench warmer. For philips i think it will be a good signing. We need a backup player for rodri but those who are saying philips needs to start over rodri, go watch golf. Tbh i would prefer a more versatile midfielder like neves who is 1 year younger and similar price but philips is good as wellYou could play Ederson defensive midfield as well if you wanted to.
