At least. And I'd rather it was that than be after one and keep a player who contributes nothing.So would we be after two midfielders if he goes?

He’s literally tailor made for liverpoool’s midfield. If he goes there it would look weird as he can’t play Pep’s football but can run around and chase like a dog all day so would be a natural replacement for Henderson and media would have a field day saying we couldn’t get a song out of him but Klopp could etc.
Do not be surprised if we move for Salah. Can see it a mile away.

A world-class versatile one would do. Obviously, two would be ideal. A midfielder is a must, though, that's for sure. We could sign one and move Rico Lewis permanently to midfield.So would we be after two midfielders if he goes?

Not a chance we're fetching that for him. He's damaged goods, and the world and his missus know we want shot of him. As I've already said, ~£30mil would be a dream.£50mil would seem about right to me, don’t give a fuck where he ends up.

Stones out now as a possible Rodri back up, can’t see this happening unless we absolutely rinse them on the fee, £50m plus

Not sure that will be the case, Phillips seems to be considered as a complete non-option so him leaving will have about the same impact on the squad as Tommy Doyle leaving.So would we be after two midfielders if he goes?

He would be good in Liverpool's midfield. They desperately need a profile like him. I would expect them to pay between 40 to 57m pounds. Hopefully closer to the higher side as they'll be desperate and buying from a direct rival.
I really wanted him to succeed here and if pep was willing to play him I would be completely behind keeping him. His biggest problem has been injuries and confidence.
But if Pep doesn't want to use him as an option to give rodri a rest for the last 20 mins at the very least (Burnley away 3-0 up with super cup and Newcastle coming up in the next 6 days) then what's the point of keeping him?
As for Liverpool, who cares about them? Kalvin Phillips is not going to be the silver bullet that puts them back in title winning contention. They were second best to a chaotic Chelsea side last week and weren't exactly convincing against Bournemouth.
We got him for 40 mil + they're twats (5mil) + they're sometimes a title threat (5mil) - we want him off our books so someone pep actually wants to play can be on our bench (5mil) = they can have him for 45 mil.
We have cover for rodri in kovacic, so we need a body who can play 8, box to box. Keep Mcatee if he will stay, then we have rodri, kovacic, foden, Bernardo, new player, Mcatee for before Xmas and you can add (injury concerns) kdb in after. 6 (7 including kdb) for 3 positions.
Summary, absolutely sell him to Liverpool. Best for our season to get him off the books If pep won't trust him and if Liverpool challenge with him, they probably would have done anyway. I'm fine with their starting DM being Phillips compared to ours in rodri lol.

But according to some on here Phillips is a crock of shit. Obviously not worked out for him at City and it's best for both parties he moves on, but there is a decent player in there.Bit worried he could be good for them, much as it hasn’t worked out for him here and we’d be happy to move him on?
