Just off the top of my head: Boubacar Kamara Ibrahim Sangare Maxence Caqueret Enzo Fernandez Sandro Tonali All cheaper than Phillips (at least according to TransferMarkt) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 How useless is the Lyon coach exactly. They started last season with Bruno, Pacqueta, Aouar, Dembele all in the team ... why are they not managing a top 5 place in France even with Bruno having left?!

They seem to be producing mental talent. They still have Rayan Cherki, Malo Gusto, Castello Lukeba, Maxence Caqueret and just signed Tete too Great academy/scouting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I wouldnt exactly be gutted if we signed Phillips but like I’ve said before, I’d rather get say Grillitsch on a free and use the money for other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they are sat in 8th place!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Think Phillips would be an unreal signing. Out of everyone we have been linked with, Phillips is the one who shows an incredible amount of ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of everyone we have been linked with, Phillips is the one who shows an incredible amount of ambition. I too like it for what it symbolises more than anything else. Who was the last England squad player we bought who I was either at their peak or entering the peak years of their career? I can't think of many, don't exactly fit my criteria but would it be one of Batty, Speed (I know he's Welsh), Dyer (had he even had a cap when he joined?) or even Parker? I get the argument about better value overseas but you do also need some good quality home grown players in the team too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get me coat It would be a blow for Burnley but when it comes down to it, 17.5m, it's all about the brass. With his style of play, fans would soon be buzzing.
