There has to be a player in Europe as good for half the price. Me too. But he was absolutely dreadful the other night and his form hasn't been good since he returned from injury. I still think there's a player in there - but I wouldn't want us paying north of £60 mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think I would want to see some indication that this injury hasn't permanently reduced his ceiling before committing the sums of money being discussed. It's a no from me, at least this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Frenkie de Jong is being touted to Man U for the same price as Phillips is being quoted at. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like watching Frenkie de Jong but I’m not that wowed by him to be honest at the elite level. Not convinced he will be a game changer when he moves to Man U but he is a fine player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the roles they play for their teams I can’t agree with that. De Jong maybe better but nowhere near infinitely better. I’m not convinced De Jong will be a major success in the PL, I think he would better suited staying at Barca in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hank Scorpio Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 I suppose Phillips value is a reflection of his importance to Leeds, sort of like Grealish was to us and Rice would be to West Ham, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His real value is realistically less than his value to Leeds, so if you want him you have to pay over what he's worth, or he has to force a move (unlikely in this case). The real trick is figuring out what his value would be for us should he sign, then you can begin to decide if it's worth paying the fee. Think of it like this, Van Diijk was not worth 80 odd million when Liverpool signed him, but he was the missing piece of their puzzle, and so worth paying that extra for considering everything that has followed since. Is Phillips the missing piece of our puzzle? I don't know, but Gerrard and Co might believe so. I would say most likely he will to go to Man City or stay at Leeds, but the way Gerrard has attracted players you just never know.

John Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I wonder if Southgate is in his ear, as he was with our former captain last year. Move to a bigger club, get European football and it couldn't help but improve your England chances. I wonder if he's on a percentage from the buying clubs?

I think it’s more to do with Jack’s personality and off the field antics than his ability and who he played for. He didn’t feature much in the last international break either.
