I think we'll be talking about Phillips in the same way as Walker in a few years time. I think he's going to be class for us. Even though I was a bit underwhelmed when were linked with him
I think it's definitely plausible. We don't tend to buy players as the finished article. That's the point. We buy players who can go up a notch or two with what's around them to learn from at the training ground. And under the tutelage of the most astute-eyed trainer in the world, bar none.
In any case I won't judge Phillips until he's had a full season at City. The scouting team saw him, Txixi saw him, Pep saw him, they all liked what they saw. Frankly, that's good enough for me, the vast majority of the time.
But I digress…

Fair play. I’d only looked at his stats, not the awards he got.Apart from winning the French league with two different clubs and winning the French league's Player of the Year, he did fuck all over there.

Dave Bennett. Gem of a player. Won the peno v spuds 81. Was thrilled when he won the cup with Coventry. A sweet little bit of revenge.

100% this, was an absolute pleasure to watch themAli B has to be at the top, what a magnificent footballer, what must he have been in his prime?
A privilege to watch him and Berkovic, both wonderful footballers and together in the same team, ripping the league a new one.

I’d say we probably overrate Ali B as we weren’t used to having anyone with that level of skill. He hadn’t done much in France before coming to us.
He was probably ahead of his time. He’d be an awesome 8 for Pep in his pomp.
Apart from winning French div 1 player of the year he didn't do too much ;)
Great player.
