At our level you have to pay over the odds for good players to deter stronger options. Depends who’s in for them as always. Gravenberch is the most unlikely with Bayern apparently in for him. You could always swap him out for my old favourite Koopmeiners who has beasted Serie A since moving last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we cant even offer low level European games currently. If we want quality we have to pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2022 We're not going to spend 60m on Phillips, mainly cos he wouldn't join us imo. I really don't think we have to worry about this one happening. Even though I think he'd be a fantastic signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Second most overrated player in the Premier League behind Declan Rice. Signing him for 60 million pounds would be a bigger disaster than appointing Gerrard, which is why I can unfortunately see Purslow & co going through with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_a Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I hope we don't buy him. Must be better value elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonVillian Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 No chance he's signing for us and also for 60m no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 When playing he'd improve us considerably but factoring in his injury record I'd like to think we can get better value elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2022 If we do sign him it'll be lovely to have an historic welcome thread that starts with twenty pages of us complaining that he's overpriced, injury prone and not good enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think similar, but having watched a few West Ham games this season I changed my mind. He is a top midfielder. A player like him (and I i think Phillips is similar) is essential to a solid midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice is every bit as important to West Ham as Grealish was to us. It's no coincidence that West Ham became very average whilst he was injured and are back on it now Rice has returned. I would love a player of his ability as our number 6, not sure if Phillips is that man though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
