What if we had signed Xabier Etxeita Gorritxategi, that's easy for you to say.
Blackpool team to face Millwall: Gilks; Crainey, Evatt, Baptiste, Eardley; Ferguson (c), Osbourne, Gomes; Taylor-Fletcher, Ince, K Phillips.
And on the bench: Halstead, Cathcart, Martinez, Grandin, Robertson, Dicko, Barkhuizen.
No sign of Matt Phillips there then.

I just hope we don't over spend. When we get a cb we will pay a lot for one and we'll end up spending 30-40 million in this window and I'm not sure our income will be high enough to get that sort of money back this season. We won't be able to get the money back for a while, a bit risky I think and there's a chance we could get relegated too.
Cortese, is that you? Must be, to have the information to make assertions about our financial stability.
Let Cortese worry about balancing the books. I suspect he's spending capital...not relying on income to pay for most of it.
Again I agree. We have been told that money is available so we have to trust our management to be wise and brave at the same time.
Holloway on Phillips: “Soton offered £5m but we don’t need the money. So what can they do? The player signed a deal"
Well Phillips wasn't involved, and last week Ian said he spoke to Phillips and he was happy to stay and excited for the season.
Yesterday. Phillips says he wants to move supposedly.
Today. Not in the squad at all.
Holloway talks crap.

Ian Holloway and Dave Whelen would make a great Manager-Chairman partnership 
Both love the media and both talk out the ar5

Holloway was in a talkative mood after. Confirmed Southampton have emailed a bid of £5m for Matt Phillips.
Had to email it as Pool chairman Karl Oyston won't answer their phone calls as he doesn't want to sell.
Phillips unsettled by it and a bit angry by the sounds of it

Actual quotes from Holloway:
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway will not sell Matt Phillips despite him handing in a transfer request and pulling out of the win over Millwall.
Holloway, whose side triumphed thanks to one goal in each half from Thomas Ince, admitted Phillips had been the subject of a £5million bid from Premier League Southampton.
The 21-year-old, who joined Blackpool from Wycombe in 2010, has asked the Seasiders to let him go, but despite pulling out of the side who faced Millwall, Holloway claims he is going nowhere.
"I just want to keep the players I have here now," he said.
"What we do we do together. We had a meeting about the Matt Phillips situation yesterday.
"The situation was so public I couldn't lie to my players and tell them otherwise. He has handed in a transfer request but that means nothing.
"They [Southampton] have offered £5 million but we don't need the money. So what can they do? The player is on a contract and he's signed it.
"The lad [Phillips] is very disappointed and he is very stubborn and he didn't feel he could play today.
"He was in my line-up until he told me that, and [Tiago] Gomes came in and he set up the first one so that's the way it goes.
