PieFacE Posted March 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2022 60m for Phillips is a lot of money, but I think it would prove to be a worthwhile signing over time. Midfield is such a problem for us I'd rather we overspent on a player we know will be good and won't need time to settle etc, rather than buy a few more Sanson's. There will be better value elsewhere absolutely, but there's also many many other clubs looking for that value, I don't trust our track record of finding that player tbh.

Signing Phillips and Bissouma would be a massive upgrade in the middle, Douglas Luiz and probably Sanson will likely leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KMitch Posted March 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2022 The most overrated player in the Premier League is Declan Rice, but Kalvin Phillips is right up there in the conversation with him. Douglas Luiz is better than him and for a fraction of the wages. Can't wait for Villa fans next season to start talking about how we "need to play him as an 8 and not a 6" because he isn't a brick shithouse destroyer... 4 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlahovic, sought after by half of Europe in January, signed with Juventus for £110k per week. Less than we pay Ings and far less than Digne is getting.

They often report salaries for players in mainland Europe as net. Add that to the amount of stuff that is clearly just made up and it's almost impossible to make a sensible comparison.

It's definitely net, they had a verbal agreement of 10 million euros net, which they have now lowered and has been rejected. To think they turned down a bid from Spurs in 2019, now they are going to loose him for nothing, what a shit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I’ve seen many comparisons from different sources and while the exact figures vary it seems certain Premier League has the highest salaries, La Liga are nr 2 and then there’s a drop down to Serie A and Bundesliga. PSG obviously stand out in Ligue 1. (and Vlahovic’s salary was quoted as before taxes.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
