Perhaps they thought Phillips might have shown a bit more in pre-season, and given some reason for persevering with him, and that simply hasn’t happened.Sounds like a bit of a no brainer when it's put like that, makes you think there must be some reason we haven't gone in for him.
I very much doubt we didn't rate him, we probably couldn't offer him the progression / pathway his abilties required because we couldn't offer him the game time.We’re not in for Lavia because clearly we let him go a year ago as we didn’t rate him.
Probably because his buyback is 40m and doesn't come into place until next year.Sounds like a bit of a no brainer when it's put like that, makes you think there must be some reason we haven't gone in for him.
But if they are after £50 mill and we have 20% of the sell on fee??Probably because his buyback is 40m and doesn't come into place until next year.
If we were to try buy him now we'd have to at least match Liverpool bid.
Not sure if you can have a sell on clause to to yourself.

That’s what some might say.We’re not in for Lavia because clearly we let him go a year ago as we didn’t rate him.
might be another ploy to push price upBut if they are after £50 mill and we have 20% of the sell on fee??
cheers Lavia for letting us knowWell 1. We have a £50m millstone in Phillips, and 2. Lavia doesn’t want to come back.
