City agreed fee for Phillips. £45m-£50m. Interesting see how much he plays as would think he’d be second fiddle behind rodri in the big games.
It's a poor replacement for fernandinho but it is a replacement I guess. They seem obsessed with buying overpriced English players who then contribute little. Almost as if they are planning to conspire to have the number of hg increased.
He's the better of England pair, Rice is a donkey who will hopefully go for big money to utd. I just don't see him as an improvement at City though. I mean even our midfield is our worst part and I still don't think he would improve us.
Just said to my eldest (the Man City fan); "the best way I can explain that signing is, I don't care. It's a nothing signing"
Unfortunately not. He figured that out himself at about 5yrs old He's 15 now, no need to sugar coat things
He's off on a free next year. Doubt Klopp wants a whole new front three in one go, plus not sure there are takers.
I think so too. Off for free after this season. I think we're gonna see much more of this running down contracts from players, the haalands and Mbappes of this world have opened a can of worms in terms of making sure they get bumper deals every few years. For example Haaland has a release clause that kicks in after his 2nd season at City, meaning another mega move or a mega improvement on his current deal. Mbappe has similar guarantees that the money will keep flowing in over the duration of his career.
The main thing is that lfc need to continue to play at a high evel consistently. Salah can go if he wants or stay if he wants the thing about expecting money for showing up is for the birds. I wonder if he's on an offer per goal or game player and that's not acceptable or what. In the end.... a city side with grealish and ake and Phillips is not in any way scary to me. The best signed they've made is dias. Take him out and city are not half the side just that same as us and vvd. Rodriguez I don't think is a s good a dm and some make out. Fabinho is better at being a no 6. Silva.and kdb are the talent.
