As the poster stated That's your opinion Gus which we respect but don't have to agree withI am getting tired of saying over and over that I am not advocating for anything different than this. Like others, I don’t see Phillips as a conservative signing, but rather a mediocre one. “Oh but Ake”, “oh but Walker” just doesn’t cut it for me. I see better opportunities in the market, that’s all. Including for the characteristics you listed

Apologies, I understand you’re not asking for us to sign the likes of rice and Kimmich just to cover rodders. That can easily be seen from you being Danilo’s no.1 fan haha! Out of curiosity what is it you feel Phillips lacks?I am getting tired of saying over and over that I am not advocating for anything different than this.

Well said. We have signed alot of players who were not fashionable but proved their worth. Barry,Milner and Delph to name a few. If he's cheap I say get him in..It was tongue-in-cheek mate. Throwing £75m on top of his fee and going for Rice is absurd. £100m might not get Rice anyway. I don't rate Phillips. He's older than Rodri and I think there are better players in Europe at a younger age that could challenge Rodri in a couple of years. But the price is good and the club are rumoured to want Bellingham next summer who will no doubt cost a pretty penny so we might be looking at some lower cost options to increase numbers in the squad. And that's a good thing. If we sign Phillips I'll give him my full support and hope he proves me wrong.
I’m glad you remember also that we ended up signing who I always wanted as the first choiceI recall disagreeing with you this time last year when you were banging the drum about how brilliant Lukaku is and how he is a much better player than Kane (who we were trying to buy).
This is all I saw. Not fully done, can be hijacked. Lol
