Liverpool are tight, so it's probably accurate.
They should focus on Bellingham anyway, he'd be easier to get and has a higher ceiling than Phillips.

Phillips is overrated but hes better, at his age and an international, than £40m. Surely that cant be right?

£60m would be the fee Leeds should demand.

Man U are rumoured to be thinking of offering £115m for Declan Rice and Phillips is half the player Rice is. And before you start, thats a complment to Phillips. There arent many as good as that.

£40m has to be nonsense surely?

That price has been dreamt up by someone writing the story. Not a chance Leeds would sell him for that. Phillips has very publicly said on social media he's no interest in going anywhere either (someone filmed him at a family bash talking about it) so it would take a much bigger sum than that to tempt Leeds to sell.

Agreed.

I think Leeds might sell for 60 million and that`s if he wants to go of course.
Watching West Ham over these last 2 games and a few games before that and if you take Rice and Antonio out of that team they become very ordinary.
Rice was top class over the 2 games against Leeds and I thought Antonio was always a threat.
Yes Bowen scores the goals but Antonio is a perfect foil albeit well marshalled last Sunday.

They were missing Soucek. Zouma, Oggbona, and Benrhama as well, to be fair

True but without the other 2 mentioned they would struggle imo.
Both top players.

To be fair why would he want to join Champions League playing, title chasing Liverpool who have a long history of success when he could stay at 15th in the table Leeds Utd who have a transfer budget which alllows them to raid Derby County?

What he says publically and what hes telling his agent will be 2 totally different things. He wont want his house getting vandalised and his family abused by Leeds fans. Of course he wants to stay at Leeds.....

Liverpool can be tight, thats their choice but £40m isnt the right price for Phillips. £60m and he will be learning the words to you'll never walk alone 5 minutes later.

To be fair why would someone who doesn't like lufc post so frequently on this thread when they could be doing something more constructive with their time? Justify it however you want but you're a bell end.

Leeds have had a £15m bid for 21 year old USA International Brenden Aaronson rejected by RB Saltzburg. We're expected to table another bid. He looks perfect for our system, very similar in style to Conor Gallagher.

The Mirror also reporting Leeds have bid for another unnamed player.

Some people Marty just want to stay in their comfort zone and are happy with what they`ve got.
I`m not saying it`s right and everyone needs pushing to better themselves.
Leeds Rhinos had a different spin on it when players could have got more money but were happy to stick with us and win trophies which to me is more understandable.
If KP can double his salary elsewhere like Grealish did then good luck to him.
