He seems to have a petulent side but Peope will sort that out no probs I think.Didnt he lose his mind and get a red on the weekend
Top player.
Maybe even too good to be benched by Rodri.
Doubt Phillips is willing to leave the bench and play professional football elsewhere in order for this to happen.
Aren’t they financially in the shit?They bought him two years ago for £38m. I can't imagine them agreeing to £42m.
Very much, if we genuinely want him they will deal.Aren’t they financially in the shit?
It's not his job.That's what I thought when I saw the links. Good player but I'd prefer someone who does more in the final third.
I agree with everything you've reasoned which begs the question why Rodri did that interview at all? The club already knew his viewpoint, so the interview makes zero sense, especially as Rodri doesn't strike anyone as the type.I agree with everything else you've said mate. I think Phillips needs to be looking elsewhere and can't believe (aside from the fact he's on guaranteed good money for doing fuck all) that he's not looking to better himself/play regularly at another club.
I just don't think a teammate will have gone out of his way to have a public dig at him because he's knackered and not being backed-up the way he should be by a replacement in the squad.
It's not Rodri's place to be calling other players out and he'll know that. I can see why you see it the way you have, though. Differing viewpoints and all that...
It's down to what Pep feels he needs/wants...No real links up until today. Paqueta seemed to be the one and it seems we are scratching around for cover which isn't an ideal situation to be in. The only thing in favour for Nunes is he will be more available than Eze and the other targets.
