Phillips would be silly to not go there if he gets the chance, lovely guy it seems but not good enough for this team and Pep

Hopefully we wouldn’t take too much of a loss

Footballing wise.....West Ham would suit him ideally,i agree.However,after watching that documentary i think he'd struggle with being any further away from his Mum and family.

If he is happy to move anywhere,personally Id be asking Brighton if they fancy a part ex for Caicedo.Throw Palmer in on loan as a sweetner :-)

Get him back. Phillips won't do it.

I'll second that

We could always tempt them with Tommy Doyle as a replacement.

Might as well keep Tommy in that case, far more to his game than Lavia for this system.

I actually agree,i think Tommy is far more the deep lying playmaker we love to use,but it seems Pep thinks different.

So as this Is the Lavia thread,why not use him as bait.

I think I'd rather give Tommy a go than Phillips atm, nice kid but he hasn't had a strong preseason tbh

would be nice if he somehow stayed at Southampton another season.

And that would mean we could activate the buyback clause.

Its a huge shame we chose to overlook two very decent,potentially excellent,academy products in favour of Philips.Both would have been far more useful last season.
