Would be worth it. Would offer great competition and an alternative option and understudy to Larrson on the right hand side. If £3mill I wad
 
I notice that he's missed off that we've been linked with Llorente and Hernandez. Funny that.

Aye it is. We've been linked with about 50 players this summer as usual some white some out of our league and he selects Phillips who is young and promising nothin more nothing less and two players one who is heading for West Ham and one who is shite and also Fletcher who is exactly what we need.
 
I expect us to sign "quality".......only because that's what the owner said we would be concentrating on.

To be fair Alfred has a point.

Phillips is a risk, unproven in the Premier League (he wasn't an ever present for Blackpool). He has potential but he's not going to walk into our first team which is what we need. We don't need another Matt Piper.

Or another Ashley Young? Depends on your perspective, I guess.
 
Does he play on the left or the right?

If we are investing in a winger I would love us to go for Adam Johnson, my only worry is that City would want too much for him. Tin hat on.

You complain at paying a couple of million for a talented young winger, and your alternative is Adam Johnson who would cost around £15 million and wages that we probably couldnt afford....

are you for f***ing real?
 
As for naming names, Wilfried Zaha would be a better championship buy than Phillips imo.

I think Phillips is better. I didn't see loads of championship matches last year but every time i caught Blackpool the lad looked a right handful and can finish as well. I'd take a punt on him...

I think Seb just doesn't offer enough down the right. The wing and up front are areas of improvement this season.



Another one of the class A wankers on this board.

Aren't you supposed to be sexually harrasing your daughter?

Ironic.

You are on par with ShieldsBlackCat as one of the bellends of this board.

He's gone mate...evaporated into ban heaven
 
Its also ridiculously early to be using Wickham as a negative example. He's been here one season and is 19 years old, and spent much of his first season injured or lacking fitness.

I agree mate, some of these knobs want a young lad to come in and be f***ing Pele all of a sudden. I blame the "I must have it now" generation!

f***ing Thatcher!! She not f***ing dead yet?:cry:
 
Aye good point. Get him signed :lol:

Haha I had that one coming! :lol:

What I meant was, Young was pretty similar to how Phillips is now (pacey, tricky, eye for goal) yet cost 3x as much what we're talking about signing Phillips for. Yet at the same point in their careers, there's not a great deal between them.

Obviously it's what comes next that'll determine how Phillips develops, but I think he's certainly worth a go.
 
I'm not bothered who we sign but i think the owner of the club want's to be very careful in his choice of words. If he thinks any of the players we are being linked with ie Fletcher, Phillips, Collins, Warnock etc are quality then he needs to study the game a bit more. They are journeymen and Fletcher aside (and only because we have no strikers worthy of the name) are bench warmers.

I hope all these rumours are bullshit because they are very uninspiring.

Semantics, but Fletcher and Phillips can hardly be described as journeyman. They've only had a handful of clubs each and are still young.
