But we have Phillips aa a backup option. Ben Davies we haven’t seen but if we were to purchase a competent partner for VVD you would have Phillips and Gomez as back ups.
Kabak may be worth more than 18 million, but I would rather save that money and add it to a signing that will walk in and partner up VVD
Difficult to know what our club is thinking, but we all know that Klopp loves a prospect to mould into an incredible player. Without doubt Phillips has done well this year, much better than most expected. Credit to the guy.
In saying that, Kabak is 4+ years younger and has more in his draw. Considering that Kabak just changed leagues halfway through the season, he's stepped into a team in complete freefall with massive issues at the back, different language & town to live in ... taking all of these into account I think there's a lot lot more to come from Kabak. The ceiling is much much higher.
Phillips has been with us for a while so he's got a massive advantage over Kabak already. But, I'd say that Kabak has shown more than Phillips. Just my personal opinion, and I also don't think Phillips is that answer but more of a decent backup of a backup perhaps.
If we were City, we'd be splashign money on a top top CB. I have no doubt about that. But we're not. And I think now there are other more important positions to strengthen.
VVD, Gomez, Matip, Kabak, Phillips and Davies. We had 3 options at CB at the start of the year, now we have 6 and I think the addition of Kabak and Phillips has been a mastermind.
We're not going to get rid of Matip. There's no way.
