FreshOwl Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Apparently on the verge of joining Real Madrid. Great move for him and a smart one. Liverpool/United/City would ruin him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'm just glad he's not going to Liverpool after their cringe inducing fawning over him for the last few seasons. Who'd have thought joining arguably the most prestigious club side on the planet would trump Jordan Henderson giving you a hug and Trent Alexander Arnold taking you to Nandos. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Good, I like it when British players play for foreign clubs. Makes watching European football even more interesting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Doesn’t really bother me either way but imagine if he went to City - a midfield of Bellingham, Rodri and De Bruyne would be frightening. Wonder if Birmingham got a sell on clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Might be a good move for him apparently he’s getting a bit big headed at Dortmund. Shame not to see him play regularly here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellingham is on a different level to Philips and would be going there as a starter. Philips went as a backup to Rodri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philips went as a backup to Rodri. Not just different level but a different player as he’s box to box. I’m not sure he was signed as a back-up, but more as competition for Rodri, but unlucky for Phillips that Rodri has been on monster form this year.. He is a big fan of Phillips, especially because he worked under Marcelo Bielsa who Pep appreciates a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep would improve him no end. I can’t believe the player Grealish is right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 That's a shame. Would love to see him in the Prem. Surely in the future he will fancy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
