Phillips would be fantastic, you have to be incredibly fit to play for Bielsa's Leeds and he had also played well in England's 3-4-3 this summer. It'd be nice if we could give them Dele or Winks plus cash lol

Yes .. he played a deep role for Liverpool where his role was to receive the ball, shield it and lay it off to teammates, as is the job of pretty much all of Liverpool's midfield 3. Be workmanlike, keep it simple, and get it out wide to Trent/Robertson.
For the Netherlands where he plays further up he has a good scoring record, and he did for Newcastle too where he played more advanced. He's capable of it, he just didn't need to do it at Liverpool due to their style of play.
Not knocking it.... My recollection of him with the dippers was him often cropping up with a timely goal here or there....
P:42 / G:5 / A:3 in the CL too; so roughly the same average.
And yeah, he had a big goal in him for sure. The only even slight worry would be whether he's struggling because of his own decline or it's just PSG being PSG. I lean towards the former since it's happened pretty much as soon as he joined there.
Roughly 1 in 3 goals / games for HollandNah, hardly fair to considering he's not really an AM.
PSG wankery + style of football, I'd guess.....
I always feel like a 2 man MF requires “good all rounders” for want of a better term.Does he? He played in a cm3 at Liverpool (and at Newcastle I think). One of the reasons he’s not getting game time is Poch plays a CM2 at PSG, no?
Yeah pretty annoying knowing your best player will leave ever summer..
If we are looking for a Modric-style footballer, maybe we could go for Luca Modric at Real Madrid. He has all the attributes I think you are looking for and is out of contract in the summer...I don't want Kessie or Mckennie I've watched both closely. They are not the massive upgrade some think. Can we try a few technically gifted and astute players. We need a prototype Modric style footballer. And a Centerforward.

Dele to Dortmund isn't a bad shoutWell to start with, Jude Bellingham, Joe Lewis, Hans-Joachim Watzke when Levy calls offering 18m+Dele Alli, and probably a few more.
