Kalvin Phillips

[Brewster's millions]

Can't see that somehow.

The subs on Bayern’s bench are looking too miserable presumably, so they want someone to address that.

The Bielsa factor here was massive for Pep. He probably raved about Phillips (and rightly given his performances under him) and not to mention that KP was England's POTY just before we got him.

I can't recall Philipps being England's POTY

He was good that year tbf.

Why not? He is surplus here, it's no secret on the market.
This will be a loan story, like Cancelo. 5 yrs left...
Or we cut it short and sell with a proper discount.

Well, Blow me down.

Good chance he'd play for Bayern because he's a very good player, just not quite the right fit for us,but very few are.That's why finding a back up for Rodri is proving extremely difficult.

He's not a very good player at all. If he was he'd get games, he's been a truly awful buy and the sooner he's replaced with someone who is fit for purpose the better.

Because he's not to their standard.

Yes, a complete lack of understanding of the difference between a good DM,even a very good DM and a player that can play that position for a Pep team,and how pivotal that position is for Pep. There is a reason we coped without KDB and Gundndogan but find it very difficult to find a solution to no Rodri. It takes a very special player to do what Fernadinho and Rodri do for our team. Even without Phillips getting somebody that isn't a big drop off from Rodri will be very difficult.

Up there with Bony and Nolito, in terms of signings. Hope he can pick things up elsewhere.
