Good afternoon! Just wondering what the Eds opinions are on kalvin Phillips from Leeds? Seems to me to be someone who could fit in to our current system very well. I know he has had a few injuries recently but from what I recall Leeds stats when he doesn't play seem to go through the floor. I think he could fill in for Fabinho in the holding role but also play alongside him to utilise a more forward thinking midfielder such as Thiago, carvalho or Elliott. I think Leeds will struggle to hold on to him any longer even after avoiding the drop. Me personally I would be delighted with the capture of him maybe Nunez to replace mane and the young lad Ramsey from Aberdeen. I have a feeling carvalho is going to be an absolute fire cracker! Hopefully the icing on the cake would be to move on players such as minamino, ox, Williams, Davies, Phillips and even possibly Keita to free up wages for salahs new contract. Not a break the bank new contract but hopefully a compromise can be reached. That would be my dream summer. Just to note I love nothing better than a daily dose of this site in the off season. Keep up the great work Eds!

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are interested and he has a stupid haircut so should fit in well.}

I don’t understand the fascination. He’s not good enough to play for Liverpool!

Wasn't he not particularly great in a more advanced position, and thus Bielsa moved him deeper? Kinda curious as to what role he'd play in our squad if we signed him.

Not even sure he’s an upgrade on Ox! 🤷‍♂️

Sangaré or nothing this window for the midfield I reckon, more likely renew Keïta and no midfield signing so we can spunk huge money on one signing to mark the start of the Ward era.

Ousmane Dembélé or Darwin Núñez maybe?

Eds, serious question - CM and a right sided forward seem like logical positions to add players, is it possible we retain an interest in Renato Sanches and/ or Adama Traoré?

{Ed002's Note - I am hi I interest in both has gone.}

I don't see how he would fit in right now with Fabinho been far better imo, also i think City are after him right?

Very good player and a great passer.

I agree Jaxx he’s never going to be any good for Liverpool, maybe he’s a great player on FIFA PlayStation game and that’s why people rate him so much, still each to their own.

JayDubRed. I am a person that thinks anyone who puts the Red shirt on is not good enough until they prove it through their performances. with Phillips being English we will pay an inflated fee and the difference in playing 1game a week for Leeds to sometimes 3games in 8/ 9days for Liverpool is different. the pressure and the expectation is different. but from what I have seen thus far from KP he is not good enough to play at the level required.

@Jaxx785, you could possibly show a little bit more respect to the club and the people who make decisions about who we sign. Alternatively you could put your name forward to the club as a replacement for Ward?

There have been a considerable number of players in recent seasons who have failed to pass muster on this very forum, who have gone on to do ‘quite well’, winning Premier League, Champions League titles and various other bits and pieces.

To say he ain’t good enough for Liverpool is laughable! We currently have Henderson Milner and Keita in those positions! He plays over them every day of the week for me! I’m not saying they don’t have anything to offer, Henderson and Milner character wise add serious value but in pure footballing terms Phillips is an upgrade on 4 or 5 of the current central midfielders we have. How can englands player of the year not be good enough for Liverpool.

I feel like out midfield has been loosing it's balance a bit and it has aged real quick, and the aging players haven't been replaced properly.
