Don't think he's got much of a passing range but he's got legs and can really get in amongst other teams. The thought of playing against him and John McGinn in the same team makes my eyes water. Agreed not much range, but he can do the simple things well. Quick mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 1 minute ago, HalfTimePost said: It's a £5m release clause apparently so they don't have much choice in the letting or wanting him to go. But yeah I can't see them taking Hogan. Somebody will though, he's proven he can score in the Champ.. just 2/3 best teams in the league couldn't figure out how this year might be proven to score in the championship, but honestly who is gonna want to pay his wages?, i cant see it happening unless we cover half of it at least.....

DCJonah Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I've got no problem signing top championship players. We've got no chance of signing really good prem players and signing from the championship, to me, is less of a gamble than signing players from europe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Villa looking to make a bid in a few weeks' according to Percy. Apparently he is in the midst of contract negotiations with Leeds, so this rumour looks like it may have come from his agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) The £5m release clause for Rodriguez is an unreliable narrative, it's £5m to release him, but then another £5m a year later according to John Percy's original article on the matter, so really he'd cost £10m. I can't say I believe that rumor anyway, just seems an obvious link for the media to make. Edited June 12, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdguitar Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 That Percy article also mentions a move for Mings is unlikely until later this month and that Stoke want £25m for Butland (with Bournemouth also interested)... seems pretty steep, I wonder if Etheridge might be better value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave in possession as well, he was constantly on the ball against us, moving it left and right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Kalvin Phillipp(ine)s has been completely under the radar for me during the season, £14M? Loads of money that for a Championship player I've never heard of. What kind of player is he? Worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looking at the reaction on Twitter from Leeds fans in regards to the Phillips transfer is interesting. They seem to view him as their best player and are laughing about the £14m price tag the same way we did when Jack was rumoured to be sold for that much. Got a feeling it might take £20m+ to get him.

useless Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I've just had a look on the main Leeds forum Waccoe, and they're having a meltdown over the possibility of Phillips leaving, they all seem to rate him as easily their best and most important player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much single handedly stopped Jack playing when we last played them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are shopping in Leeds I'd like us to go for Pablo Hernandez as well. Buy one get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Apparently he is one they will have to sell and he’s defo worth 14 million. Has a bright future. Would be delighted if this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting on and won't be leaving Leeds, had a great season but couldn't last the full season and faded in the final games and had a poor end to the season. Mismanaged (should've been rested) and could do a job but we can't just take a whos-who of Championship players with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't exactly fit the model we're going for with young hungry players. £14m is kinda a lot, but not really for a player in his position. They're hard to find what he does. I'd feel much better about us spending £20m on Phillips than I would Maupay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
