This is exactly my point.Well whether we sign him or not, and I'm not for it, at least the forum has concluded he is nothing more than a 6. Incredibly earlier today there were people on here suggesting he could play the 8 role! Sure we need a Fernandinho replacement but this fella is still a downgrade on prime Fernandinho for me, in that I don't think he could ever play emergency full back or centre half and I'm not sure he offers the much of a goal threat in the form of long shots that Fernandinho delivered. I suppose he could best be described as a modern day Nigel De Jong at a ridiculously expensive price?
He’s more than triple the quality. He’s also way more versatile. It’s idiotic they’re “not interested”The price Frenkie de Jong is going for I’ve changed my mind 60 mil is ludicrous. When De Jong is there for 51 to 59 mil. Who’s triple the quality of Phillips

Those last two years where we`ve been the PL Champions ? We only signed Grealish last season and the season before we had Cancello plus others including Ake who has never let us down.I’m talking about the last two years.
I held off saying this earlier because you're likely to get the "he's not a DM comments."
But, realistically, I think anyone claiming the drop off between Rodri and de Jong would be more significant than the drop off between Rodri and Kalvin Phillips is kidding themselves.
Plus, we get an extra body in centre mid.
Plus plus, he's actually a quality player.
I’ve said this before De Jongs eye for a pass is scarily similar to Kevin’s.
