Difference with Philips seems to be we are actively trying to sign reinforcements the window after signing him which we never did with Grealish.

Buy Nunes now to play CM/AM. Next summer sell Kalvin, buy Wirtz and push back Nunes to DM/CM.

Other difference is Grealish was given plenty of playing time to actually adapt. Philips is given 3 minutes when we’re 4-0 up. If he’s lucky. It’s very obvious he is not ever going to be even given a chance to prove if he can step up.signing
Grealish was underwhelming in his first season but still played a lot of minutes and started a lot of games.Difference with Philips seems to be we are actively trying to sign reinforcements the window after signing him which we never did with Grealish.

Neither Nunez or Eze would be a threat to where Phillips would play. If City wanted to sell the lad, he'd be gone by nowDifference with Philips seems to be we are actively trying to sign reinforcements the window after signing him which we never did with Grealish.
Let's be honest Rodri Fernandhino and Grealish didn't actually hit the floor running. And none of them suffered the injury set backs Kalvin had
I agree with Bravo, we wanted and needed someone like him, and once he was no longer number one actually played well when called on.Bravo was essential to what you see before you today, obviously the levels of quality and consistency were lacking but in fundamentally cemented the foundation to how pep wanted to play, ballsy as fuck
Nolito the same, an introduction to high press that served its purpose to the squad; this evolution was about example and playing proverbial chess, which is the whole philosophy of what we see today, a mechanism of a system, that can be the wrong part of the engine but the engineer upgrades the part…
Didn't play well but essential to our playing method.
Not so sure about Nolito, possibly something wrong with his attitude. Played some decent games but then never reappeared for us.

Fernandinho had a great first season.

Totally agree. Phillips not had so many set backs at the beginning as well. I'm sure Pep sees him has Rodri's back upBravo was essential to what you see before you today, obviously the levels of quality and consistency were lacking but in fundamentally cemented the foundation to how pep wanted to play, ballsy as fuck

These weren’t bad recruits, far from it, just not long term solutions to the well oiled machine..
As for Phillips, who knows, 99% said the same about Grealish with a season under his belt, how did that pan out?
Believe in the model as it’s the envy of world football!

Imo he didn't. He was always being compared to Dejong. And most didn't rate him good enoughFernandinho had a great first season.
