Demitri_C Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Signed a new deal apparently. Might as well lock it. Personally I'm delighted 30m is too much. Luiz for half price is a better deal by a country mile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Disappointed if has signed a new deal etc. I really wanted him here and think he would have been a very significant signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think it will be a shame if we can't land him. But there is also a part of me that is happy for Leeds (urgh) if he does sign a new contract. He would be a great player to have in our squad, but the signing of Douglas will definitely soften the blow of not being able to sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Not as bad of a blow now we've got Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That new deal rumour was from some random article. Even Leeds fans don't believe it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Real parodies with us and Jack last summer, so I'm happy he stayed as I know how much it meant to us. I imagine his nee deal is just like Jack's.. a pay rise and a release clause if they dont get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of Philips attitude and physicality and passing ability and I would have loved him to have signed for us, but I agree that as a fan home grown player loyalty means a lot. I haven't seen anything about him signing a new contract though. If he's signed anything recently the Leeds fans don't know anything about it yet. I browse their main site regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Purely based on the last few comments in this thread. I've not heard of a new contract or anything either but he was pushing for one and if hes staying he should be rewarded for one, even if it means he'll still leave next year he at least keeps his value high for Leeds.

Villa Park is approximately 8000 miles nearer to Minnesota than Australia, so if you're basing "it's happening" on that stat, I can recommend a good world map site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that (well travelled and always did very well in geography). It was a tongue in cheek post about Phillips travelling to Australia therefore supposedly less likely to sign according to some, so I posted that Minnesota is closer to Australia than VP is, so it could still be happening. Just a joke. Edited July 14, 2019 by brommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Phillips is a good player but 30m is a ridiculous valuation. Instead of him we’ve basically got Douglas, Konsa and Jota. Not exactly a difficult decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be honest you've probably watched as many YouTube videos of him the last couple of days as the rest of us He doesn't get near Phillips for tackles per game stats that I can see He played in La liga. Let's look at the two. Stats are per 90 min played(Squawka). Squawka have them both registered for far fewer games then whoscored.com. Think this might be down to which matches opta cover. Phillips(21macthes) vs Luiz(10 matches). Per 90 minutes played. Passing: Forward passes: 14.67 vs 12.79 Long balls: 6.61 vs 5.75 Avg pass length: 0.97 vs 2.17 Chances created: 0.68 vs 1.06 Defensive: Total blocks : 1.93 vs 2.35 Total clearances: 4.42 vs 2.58 Interceptions: 2.03 vs 2.23 Tackles won: 2.18 vs 1.53 Dispossess: 0.94 vs 1.64 Ariel duels won: 4.58 vs 4.34 Other: Sucessfull take ons: 0.78 vs 2.46 Fouls suffered: 1.09 vs 3.05 Not the best sample size. I imagine the statistics looks a bit different at whoscored. Easier to make a comparison at squawka tho. Make of it what you will. They look quite similar in most aspects. The stand out is the amount they get fouled and successful take ons. Edited July 14, 2019 by Skruff Can't spell Squawka 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
