Andrew 4718 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Bit of googling says Andrade is generally reliable. Â No doubt there would be competition for him but perhaps getting in early when some other clubs are still figuring out their positions for summer might be great for us. The summers "trippier" signing, big player, sewn up early and setting the tone for the rest of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spine to build a team across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4718 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Kalvin Phillips apparently has a 25 million release clause if Leeds go down. Should definitely be in for him at that price and you'd think we'd be in with a good shout of getting him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4110 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 How does he fit in alongside Bruno and Joelinton? Or are we moving Joe along. Don't see Howe playing him in an advanced position permanently next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we spent that money on replacing ASM if you have someone of Nunez's finishing quality upfront.  Not that Philips wouldn't be a good signing, just think that position might be a lower priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see Howe playing him in an advanced position permanently next season. I think that Bruno might be better suited in the PL as the most advanced of the midfield 3 (I realise you were in about Joelinton in the forward role he’s played recently) which leaves room for Joelinton and Kalvin Phillips. Also, I know it’s difficult given the mindset of the past 15 years or so but we need to think beyond having a more or less set XI when everyone is fit. Imagine having a squad with depth. Crazy, eh? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy, eh?  You're absolutely right, but it's a concept that most of us are going to need to take time to get our head around. It's not just the past 15 years, I don't think we've EVER had a squad with depth the way Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool have had in recent years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21814 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Imagine a midfield rotation of:  Bruno, Kalvin Philips, Paquetta, Joelinton, Shelvey, Willock  instead of fearing an injury in case you have to rely on the likes of Hendrick, Hayden or Longstaff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
