I’ll be happy to do it mate. As someone else posted, not easy to quantify what success will be though. I’m sure we will win trophies. We’ve definitely improved if we sign him because he’s replacing Fernandinho. If you’ve read my posts on Phillips, I’m also on the fence as to whether he’ll be a success or not, given the likely price, but if you can come up with something appropriate…Mate many thanks for taking the bet and even more so for at least showing some bottle.
My bet is that should we sign the lad (this coming season) then I honestly believe that with his help, we will win some major trophies, PL CL and/or FA Cup based on him replacing him Rodders over a period of time.My proposal is over the next 2 years.
I`m open to suggestions from yourself and it will be a subjective case as to how we/us define a "great signing" (in my eyes) so lets agree as to the bet.

By all accounts an ongoing police complaint from a MOTP, so nothing charged but still an ongoing investigation.Sorry, what has he been found guilty of or charged with?
I don’t think anyone is suggesting the club does not make transfer mistakes. Show me a team who gets it right all of the time?this might be a bit controversial, but where does the notion that our recruitment team is incapable of making mistakes come from?
I trust them and they are full of very intelligent people. But they are human. they may very well be misjudging a given situation, like any other human. That doesn't mean I don't have trust in them, but I also don't have blind and cult like belief in them that I would classify ANY attempt to see an opinion different from them disrespectful or wrong, and I genuinely don't understand why some people here take offense to that.
It's the same team that spent 100 million on grealish, and I STILL think that was the wrong idea. It's the same team that brought mendy, look how that turned out.
On the balance they are extremely good at what they do and almost always get it right. But never in a million years would they always get it 100%, and I think this is one of those times. Simple.
If the rags signed him for £60m I would piss myself laughing.
He is not cheap. The minimum he is going for is 40m. I am not going to talk about the top prices that have been quoted.Hes a defensive mid and is relitavely cheap hes only gonna sit on bench and cover rodri so yes from me.
