Noel Armand on Twitter saying deal done for Phillips at £25m plus add ons and personal terms agreed. Medical tomorrow
Is Armand reliable?

I don't have Twitter but just Googled searched his name. 468 followers and no blue tick. Why would he have the scoop?

100% this is the same twat who said Newcastle were selling fabian scharr to Nottingham forest for 9 million quid about 2 weeks ago. Total nonsense

Nantes signed a new keeper the other day.
I think the Kalinic/Rongier talk is all twitter 2+2=515253 bollocks.

Damn! Thanks for the update

If that was the only person putting the Phillips story around I'd agree but there seem to be loads of people posting it. That may just be them all trying to get an early 'exclusive' on each other but a few of the names are people that are supposedly pretty decent.

The photo in this tweet - do we have any experts on the Kalvin Pillips' back, from middle distance?

Fabian Tadiello, apparently. His agent.

Clicky

Ah, thanks Exigo.

Apparently the bloke in the yellow shirt is our new winger.

Thank fuck for that. For a minute I thought Steve Bruce was back.

We could make the Phillips deal work.  Say if it was £13 million up front, and then the rest on certain conditions. £2 million based on appearances. £4 million if he makes the England squad. £2 million when he gets that ridiculous barnet seen to.

To which Leeds would say "Well that's great but we'll just hold on to him and get promoted instead, at which point he'll be worth four times his current value and we'll have promotion money to play with."

They'll never accept £13m up front for their captain and their best player. And let's be honest, in this market they'd be insane to do so. Given inflation elsewhere, £24-25m sounds about right to me. In an ideal world he'd be a third of that price, but ho hum.

If Tottenham had offered us that to buy Jack last year I'm pretty sure we'd have all been falling over ourselves to urge the club to accept it.

[Toronto Villa]

They allegedly offered us more but lower than our valuation and we told them to fuck off.

I know.  I was being sarcastic.
