I guarantee that even if we spent £30 million on him we'd still make a profit. He's going right to the top.
He could do with taking that pineapple off the top of his head first.

United used to do it every year so why can’t other clubs?I cannot see a] us shelling out another 20m+ in this window, or b] Leeds letting him go this close to the deadline unless they have someone lined up to replace him. They are already going into their second shot at promotion with a barely improved team and losing Philips would weaken them considerably. They would basically be giving up, imo.

I'm not convinced we'll buy him, but I'm not sure that Leeds will have much say in whether he stays or goes. If they need the money - and it's a lot of money we're talking - they'll listen to offers. It's the way of the world. Didn't someone say there were whisperings of a transfer embargo in the LS postcode area?I cannot see a] us shelling out another 20m+ in this window, or b] Leeds letting him go this close to the deadline unless they have someone lined up to replace him.

I hadn't heard anything about them potentially being under embargo, but will defer to you on that one mate. They could let him go of course but surely they would need a replacement lined up? They seem convinced that they will be pushing for autos again and they could well do that now that Bielsa has a year's experience of the league, but taking Philips out will leave a gaping hole in their midfield. The end of this window is going to be interesting.
So £15 million?I have the perfect solution. £15m + Lunny.

Lunny plus money?15 mill without Lunny, 12 mill with Lunny

Don't forget Villa have been interested all windowPhillips is the final piece of the jigsaw, fits our business model on recruitment and is the best DM in the Championship. I will be surprised if we don't test Leeds resolve on deadline day.

I think he's a step too far for us at £30m. I expect us to look at a loan option that can cover 2-3 positions before Thursday. Can't see us leaving such a substantial bid so late.
I reckon he'll go for less, will be in the £20m region. We've been surprised with the spending all summer so don't rule out another biggie.
Villa have Grealish and McGinn, so unless one of them leaves late in the window he wont be going thereDon't forget Villa have been interested all window
We have Fleck and Norwood.... no difference really other then Grealish doesn't play as a centre midfielder.Villa have Grealish and McGinn, so unless one of them leaves late in the window he wont be going there
