Yeah more shake than he was doing 18 months ago. Nothjng a good run in the team wouldn't sort but I think the same with Ake, he'd improve with a good run in the team.

Not sure we're talking about the same player. I'm referring to the centre back who played 44 games (33 premier league) last season. Probably had his best season yet.
 
It’s almost like players who come to play for us won’t learn anything (positional sense) by coming to play with some of the best players in the world being coached by the best manager in the world. Kinell

We paid £8mil for Delph. We shouldn't be spending £60mil on someone to come in and "do a job" for us, in my opinion. I'd rather see the club put the £50mil we're likely to get for Jesus towards the midfield fund and bring in a Rolls Royce player, like a De Jong or someone who will develop into one, a la Bellingham. That would be the more beneficial move long term. Phillips has too many limitations to warrant such an outlay, again that's just my opinion.

Why don’t we just see what happens and support the lad if he signs for us because you never he might just surprise alot of people on here . And also make no mistake he won’t be leaving Leeds to sit on the bench at city either .

Exactly right, only someone that has watched him week in week out(when fit) can really tell you what he's about, people are basing thier opinions on a snapshot of his carreer, who has seen him play 20 games? Anyone?
If so I would like to hear their opinion, all we know is he's played in the Prem and for England, looks decent enough technically and knows his role, but none of us know how he will develop under Pep and that for me is the huge factor in this transfer
Look what Pep has done with Rhodri, he's been world class for us this season the best in the world some say in his position and who would have called that after his 1st 6 months with us, I recon you could count them on 2 fingers and one of those fingers is Pep

I trust our manager fully to get these things right that one of the reasons he's the best and paid the big bucks

Also being over looked is the Bielsa connection, Pep will know what he's getting in Phillips and he knows anyone that can work well with Bielsa will without doubt work well under him

And the money 60mn is a lot, but why would Leeds let him go unless the deal suits them, after all do they need the money? Probably not

Just doesn’t have the same ring to it
 
This is really stretching the definition of "Prem proven". He's had two injury hit seasons in the Premier League, the second of which his club were pretty shit. The vast majority of his career has been spent in the Championship.

I'd be more inclined to call him international football proven but that doesn't really have a great ring to it.
