People (FSG and Klopp included) have to ask them selves are we better off selling Phillip and getting VVD, Keita, and a guy like Lanzini or holding out a year? I say to hold for a number of reasons. The first is that Phillip is our best player and selling your best player sends a bad message is and hard to come back from. The second is are you sure u can land ALL 3 of the desired players? Heck can u guarantee u can land 2 of the 3? How much will u sell Phil for? Will u skeet in ur britches when the offer goes over £100 mil and pull the trigger or will u have enough sense to hold out and firm for a much higher asking price? Hold on to Phil this year and see how the rest of the window goes this coming month. After this year he will walk and God willing the initial offer will be double what their offering now. I don't blame him for wanting to go to Barca. We are a huge club, but they are on a planet to their own and people would save themselves some heartache to understand that. U could convince him to stay for a season, but if they keep courting him he will leave. Let's pray we get £180-220 mil when he does and not the peddly sh*t their talking right now.
