villa4europe Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This has been talked about before and someone pulled up his games missed stats from transfer market, from memory it depends how you define injury prone, he's only had a couple of injuries but they've caused him to miss months of football each time, personally for me that's not injury prone it's just bad luck sturridge is injury prone, plays 2 games gets a soft muscle injury misses 2 games comes back gets a different soft muscle injury and misses 4 games rinse and repeat Phillips isn't tweaking and pulling things, he's not missing one game at a time with a tight hamstring, he's tearing his hamstring and missing 3 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason he’d never stayed as long at a club before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'm sure he mentioned that he wishes he looked after himself a bit better during Bielsa time there, they all got worked hard so it's bound to injuries over time. I'm very 50/50 with wanting us to sign him if I'm honest, I think it's the fee if Leeds were to stay up. He is a good player though, I just hope the injury he had this season hasn't completely messed him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not injury prone at Bournemouth. Just bad luck. He has been highly reliable for Villa and barely missed games 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSvillain Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 His injuries are definitely due to Bielsa's methods as other have pointed out, however it may be the case that the damage has been done now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 26, It may be something that needs managing forever more and limits appearances, it may be something that goes again more regularly now it has happened once. These unknowns are what have to be factored into his value. That, and the fact he has looked pretty poor when in a side not managed by Bielsa. If the fee represents value for the risks, and we're confident we can get the player that looked amazing last season back, I'd be OK.... but think I would prefer us to look elsewhere initially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Depends on the fee.£60m for guy with a poor injury record is a step to far me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 This one just won’t go away. Think it would be a great signing for anything around £25-30m. Much better than Nakamba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Telegraph write Phillips is Man City's main target for the summer. Leeds staying up means they might have to pay, but that shouldn't be a problem for the Sheikh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Phillips is a good player, would have had a reasonable price tag if Leeds went down as he'd be cheaper. But the English tax isn't worth it, better value to be had abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Suppose it makes sense Fernandinho was a shadow of his former self on the weekend so imagine he'll be sidelined more next year. He was playing CB though, so will there be enough room at DM for Rodri, Philips and Fernandinho? 5 Subs means Pep can probably rotate DM like he does attacking midfielders but will be a rotational role for Philips. A shame but I can see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAN Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Philips rumour is just smoke and mirrors from villa Nobody will know who we are signing next because that's the way the club operates. I expect a clinical striker and a few more ins and outs before we leave for australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
