Not the only English player post the Euros to struggle but form and fitness have been really poor. I watched some of their game v Man City recently and he was completely anonymous. Provided little or no cover to their defence either.Obviously is a decent player, used to have great battles with Grealish in the championship and has done well with England at times. Man United have a glaring hole at CM so it's his most likely destination if Leeds go down. I think he's already said he would never sign for The Plastics. Liverpool will go for Bellingham, Man City don't need him (yes, I know), then you have the london lot; Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs. I just can't see him wanting to live down there. Newcastle seem the most likely, he stays up north, close to home. I'd love him at Villa Park. I wanted him the summer we got promoted and haven't changed my mind. He's a cracking player, a real humble lad, just the type we've desperately needed for years.Man City do need someone like him. Fernandinho and Gundogan are going in the summer.

I know you're just about the most miserable person on here, but do you really need to invent fictitious scenarios to make yourself feel even worse?

This reminds me of when people on here used to say Rice was way over rated. And going further back a poster once said Rooney wasn't fit to lace Stephan Moore's boots.(yeah I know it's different Philips is 26 etc, but good to keep people humble)

Now that they're in the same side it's obvious that Foden is streets ahead.Not that I have an opinion on the merits of Phillips as a signing for us. It feels like he'll go higher up the food chain.

Everything went through him and everything went to him. In an elite side a really great player bends the will of other great players to make them the first ball they look for. Foden's been doing that since he was a kid. Grealish has gone there as a willing and skilful backup player.
