I’d prefer Pope and hopefully we’re in for him as well. He’s wanting out of Man U regardless. Poor looks shite with his feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced tbh. I think he’s exactly the player Howe will want. We’ll find a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I agree Phillips is exactly what Howe will want but for 60m, where we are, the club will want 2 players...ish. It's different when you are already in the top 4 because you can start to pluck the individuals who will make a difference. We are trying to build a squad, therefore we need to spread our budget across a few players. With all that said, there's a lot we can do to secure Phillips without outlaying 60m (if that was his fee) in one go. For example, if you sign the guy for 60m and you are giving him a 5 year deal, you could structure payments over those 5 years 12m or so per year. We could pay Leeds 30m upfront and then more payments after certain appearances. Wasn't it mentioned that we wanted to put "winning the champions league", into a deal? Whilst that may be fanciful right now, we could offer 10m to a club when we have qualified for the champions league. I cant imagine many clubs laughing at us now.

STM Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 FWIW, Phillips is the one I want. He's perfect for where we are going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 He's definitely leaving Leeds BTW. He was crying at the end of their home game. He's probably got some sort of agreement with Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The rumoured £25m relegation release clause would have been a steal. £35m is good value for me. Much above that and its maybe a bit steep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Stay clear of any Man U player and players from relegated teams. Also, don't sign anyone that wears colourful boots. Has a silly haircut. Has a trademark celebration that last longer than a FIFA one. Refers too their Brand. And certainly no one that listens to more than two podcasts.
