The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 30th April) All Phillips is interested in, is playing for Leeds

[John in Louisiana]

We need to send Sean Bean to Huddersfield to rally the troops

'DO IT FOR YORKSHIRE'

Except Sean Bean dies in pretty much everything he's in.

[malcolmw]

It’s all he’s interested in now as his career has crashed & burned. He wasn’t interested before was he. Don’t make me laugh. Maybe he can come back but all this “oooh it’s all I want to do” is total bollocks.

Bit grumpy are we Jay?

I too would take him back in a heartbeat. I said at the time, you couldn't blame him for going to arguably one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the world.

OK so it hasn't gone so well. Not the first talented footballer to experience walking into a brick wall. All part of a career and learning.

I think he'd be stronger mentally and could take over the Ayling, Dallas, Coops role with the youngsters. He's a Bielsa boy. Worth something to me.
Offer him 20% more than his old salary, adjusted for the cpi, and get him back in white.

I’ve had a snickers so I’m ok now.
Would he play in the Championship or is that beneath him?

Who knows where his head is at. If he's driven by ego, he won't. But the last year can't have been good for his ego.

Of course, Farke may not want him. But if he does, I'm sure a chat over a coffee would sort things out.

[The Subhuman]

Don't think Phillips has a big ego. I thought he quoted "All I wanna do now is play for Leeds". That would suggest he prepared to drop a division. We sold a very good player to City for a few reasons but the big two were he was a very saleable asset at a time when we needed money and he wanted to test himself as that's supposed to be the thing to do in sport.

Not his fault Pep didn't really want him for City though my question at that time if I were in Kalvin's (I dread this statement) shoes would have been "When and where is Rodri going?"

[GreennWhite]

I think a fit and hungry Philips would only be good for Leeds, i wouldnt say no to him coming back, when it comes to getting in new players and we will have to do that in the summer, we could do a lot worse than him.

[The Subhuman]

Next seasons 11if we stay down

GK?
Roberts
Firpo
Phillips
Cresswell or new RCB
Struijk
Gray
Ampadu
Joseph
Georginio
James

Assuming Rodon wants and get prem football, Summerville and Gnonto are sold to raise cash

[TopTuneTony]

The priority, in my opinion, would be to get Rodon on a permanent deal. Not getting Ben White cost us big time last time round. I’d have Kalvin back in a heart beat, Myovski from Aberdeen, Greenwood back from boro and wedge the door open for Cooper, Firpo, Ayling and Paddy and make an appointment to speak to Moyes

[pjm2019]

Kalvin has been picking up too many injuries, past his best. He would cost £20M and high wages so a waste of time. Lets move on

He's injured now I believe
