Player Valuation: £80m
There was a reason City bought Phillips. When fully fit and motivated he’s a good player. As long as the wages aren’t ridiculous then it makes sense to add another body into central midfield especially if Onana is going. We got lucky last season that injuries between Onana Garner and Gueye weren’t too bad, but if one of them received a big one we’d be relying on Gueye every match.
Phillips, plus more minutes for a youth player either Onyango or Warrington if they can step up, plus a replacement for Onana would leave us in an ok position in centre mid and might help us in the PSR position.
Fans say we dont need a new owner who's minted/willing to sign cheques yet complain when we're rummaging through the bargain bin on loans and cheap signings.
Unfortunately this summer will be one of little to no expenditure. Phillips on loan is likely the best we can hope for. The fans need to accept reality now otherwise its going to be a very long summer of teeth gnashing for them.
On his day he is a fine player. Dyche/Goodison Park will revitalise his career I am sure of it.
