So why waste the money on him, promote an EDS player for those games and put the funds towards buying something we haven’t got which is Bellingham

Its pretty much the KEY position in the setup, he played a double pivot with Rodri/Gundo till he got it he was up to scratch. Lavia has the best chance and he's not up to standard at all yet.Against lower prem teams why not
Pep's historically been picky with the DM position more than others. Delph barely ever got a run there and neither has Zinchenko. Even Aké hasn't and he mentioned it was an option when he signed.Its pretty much the KEY position in the setup, he played a double pivot with Rodri/Gundo till he got it he was up to scratch.

You see him talk about positioning a lot with young players, particularly Foden. DM is the one position where being smart is more essential than anywhere else.

We can and should do much better.
Isn’t Philips a bit slow, we’ll be even more fucked against balls over the top and he can’t read the game like Fern. This had got disaster written all over itPep's historically been picky with the DM position more than others. Delph barely ever got a run there and neither has Zinchenko.

Correct, exactly why I could see a Phillips in before Lavia.Pep's historically been picky with the DM position more than others. Delph barely ever got a run there and neither has Zinchenko. Even Aké hasn't and he mentioned it was an option when he signed.

He's more mobile than Rodri and Gundogan, I know that much. Also not being able to read the game like Fernandinho shouldn't be a limitation, otherwise we might never sign anyone for the position.Isn’t Philips a bit slow, we’ll be even more fucked against balls over the top and he can’t read the game like Fern.

I don't know where I stand on Phillips as of know, but disaster is being extreme.
