Phillips

One other aspect. We likely replaced him with 3-4 younger and very talented players with less wear and tear for what we got on the fee Our chances of making it through the season without major injuries is higher for any of these much less losing all of them. We lost KP much of last season and it was a huge factor.

It is sad that he threw it away for 30 pieces of silver and to make his agent money

I was explaining the other day to someone that though I loved Phillips and Raphinha, I think overall we are better off having practically traded

Kalvin and Rapha for Roca, Aaronson, Adams and Sinisterra. Like you said Kalvin bit of an injury merchant as well so overall though they fees IMO were crap our squad has become better out of it, just a shame we cant have those 4 new guys and Rapha and Kalvin!

The return of his shoulder injury could keep him out of World Cup. Cited paid upfront but likely his injuries were a factor in the transfer fee paid

Agreed Joel now have four quality players rather than just 2 and in positions where we needed them.

Seems he could be out of action for a while once again, seems we struck lucky by selling, in a sad way.
