The £50m buys Nat. How do they get Willock as well? :thinking:

If I were in Nat’s shoes I’d be asking Klopp to let that happen.

As big and, of course, as fat as Steve Bruce’s head, I think Nat wins in a headbutting contest.

If we did sell him then we would end up buying another and probably cost double what we get for Nat.

We have the invisible werewolf, Ben Davies, if Nat goes we keep Davies who cost half a million i think. Davies is already integrated into the squad so I think we win, no?

If Klopp lets him go, then obviously he has some alternative lined up.

Not so sure…
In his playing days, Bruce had to wear a ā€˜V’ neck shirt whilst the rest of the team wore the normal hoop neck style… It was the only way he could pull a shirt over his head apparently…! :wink:

In this thread: a lot of people forgetting Ben Davies exists.

Then again, who even remembers him at all? I reckon though if the manager is concerned about the fitness of our main centre-backs, we might see Phillips hang around for another half a season, and then maybe get sold after that. Not sure there’s much of a point for him to stay with us unless he’s content to pull an Origi and basically just always be ready to be called upon in reserve but never a starter.

According to the athletic, Caleta-Carr is available for £13m.

I mean if we can get Ā£8m for Nat and then get in Caleta-Carr for a net Ā£5m, why wouldn’t you do this?

You could probably sell Davies for £5m so Davies +Phillips for Caleta-Carr?

Caleta Car is who we were being linked to in the winter window before we signed Kabak, right?

Yes, I think he’s one who popped up late in the window. Seem to remember there was some talk they couldn’t do a deal because Marseille didn’t have time to find a replacement.

Yeah he was actually packed to come over and was at the airport from the looks of things. I think they’d agreed as they thought they had someone lined up only for that to collapse. Only thing that really makes sense.

That would be Edwards all over :wink:

Though considering the numbers interested in Phillips we might actually be able to get a bit more.

to let go of an English Defender for 10M who is 24-25 is sheer madness.

There’s no guarantee that Gomez will ever reach the potential (due to his injuries) , Keep Phillips on and wait for another couple of seasons atleast. Nat will still play 15+ matches this season for us. There are 4 competitions to look at and we need every possible cover in that CB positions.

But Gomez at 10% of his potential is still a significantly better player than Phillips… Williams could always play those 15 games. Also van den Berg, Koumetio or Quansah if needed.

Frankly anything remotely close to 10m and we should be biting their hands off.
