I think Philipps is decent but we need someone more disciplined positionally Rice would be ideal for this current midfield.
He's gone.
Remaining players to let go of: Federico Fazio and Steven Nzonzi.

Had no idea Pastore was at Roma
Phillips is exactly what we would need in our current setup/formation as a rotation with McT/Fred and would fit right in. If we go 4-3-3 then your correct
I think James will go to Leeds even if Everton come in for him this late.. And I dont think we'll feck him over by starting any bidding war either.
Official: Koopmeiners joins Atalanta.
Decent is the word. I think we should be aiming for better
Great business from Atalanta
Everton to outbid Leeds and offer 40 million perhaps? 
I think to think of it as Ronaldo + cash for James.30m pounds for James? It reimburses 80% of entire Varane, fantastic if true
Everton to outbid Leeds and offer 40 million perhaps?
Terry from "The Football Terrace" tweeted this but I think its nonsense
Talk about a move destroying your career. I remember the summer before Liverpool signed him, several people were ravign about him on here as the next big thing, looked clumsy at Liverpool and now he moves to Norwich. Interesting to see how he does there as he will have a lot of defendign to do.....only really seen him at Liverpool....and he was bad
Everton to outbid Leeds and offer 40 million perhaps?
Almost everything he tweets is nonsense or pure guesswork
The idea that Everton are storming in late doors with a 40m bid 
Agree he isnt a world beater but he would be a massive upgrade on fred. Anyway can't see it happening
Cant believe we have got that much for him when he looks so so poor. For me its a good deal whether or not we reinvest the money before the window closes, Id put alomost every other option in ahead of him for us and lets face it we have loads
£25 million plus add-ons, lovely jubbly.
Hope your kidding here
Everyone's reporting that the fee we'll get from Leeds is around 30m.
If Philips was included in some kind of swap they wouldn't be reporting the fee that way is what I mean.
Does it mean Everton offered more money? Of course we need to sell to them if they pay us more
That's what I'm guessing. However, no one reliable has reported on this yet, so let's see.
The idea that Everton are storming in late doors with a 40m bid
That would be hilarious. Dan James bidding war!
All he tweets is nonsense. Needs banned on here.
Even 30m is great deal. If we squeeze 32 or 35 from Everton, it would be even better.
I do wonder if he would have ended up at us if Leeds completed the signing back then.
A massive upgrade on Fred is a wild exaggeration. If that were true he would he a world beater.
I don't think you'd have to wonder at all. I I can't see any chance we would have bought him from Leeds as if he did well they'd want more for him and if he didn't do well we wouldn't want him.
I don’t think it’s true for a minute but James and £30m for Philips wouldn’t be far off a decent valuation.
Wasn't him highly rated about a year ago? Liverpool not taking the buy option and now going to almost certain relegated Norwich seems kind of underwhelming
He's going to be a permanent starter with the complete backing of his manager, a manager who had chaser him for some time. He's got much more chance to realise whatever his potential is there than here, and hopefully, the Leeds support will get behind him and allow him time to settle.
If he ventures onto social media, it'll be quite something for him to not be in the firing line every time he plays.
Once the dust settles, he might be relieved to be out of the intense spotlight and scrutiny of Manchester United and consider better to have left than have stayed.
The move to Schalke hurt his career more than the Liverpool move. He was pretty bad in a team that was imploding.
To be fair Dan James is a very Benitez player
What the actual feck? I thought fee would be around 15-20M, a 30M deal is amazing. Hopefully we can spend it on a CDM.
