Thought that was in the past, although West Ham are heavily linked as well and we are unable to compete with them so we might need some luck. He is the quality of target we need to be looking at.
Would be a ridiculous move for him with four people ahead of him. Even with injuries and if we assume he goes ahead of matip
My guess is someone has read an old rumour Unless he is truly available for a knockdown price and they want to try and capitalise. But that is not usually how clubs plan
Seems underwhelming if true . But the earlier rumours suggested that was our preference but Liverpool didn’t want a loan
This written by a Scouser perhaps?... THE VERDICT: PHILLIPS WOULD BE A SOLID ADDITION An important part of Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League qualification last term, Phillips would be a solid signing for the Saints due to his domineering presence and bravery at the back. In 2020/21, he made 20 appearances for the Reds, notching two goal contributions; one goal and one assist [Transfermarkt]. Influential at the heart of the Liverpool defence, Phillips managed to successfully win no fewer than 5.6 aerial duels per fixture across the same time period [WhoScored]. Once labelled as ‘brilliant’ by his manager Jurgen Klopp after bagging the Reds’ Player of the Month award for March 2021, Southampton could do a lot worse than to sign Phillips up before the end of August
Isn’t the talk that Liverpool need to sell before they can buy? And they spent the money that they could have spent on a wijnaldum replacement on the defender to be third or fourth choice Moving phillips to 5th. So they are desperate to sell him. Also no one seem to want what they are demanding for Origi. And Shaqiri still seems to be there as well. Perhaps some clubs are now wise to buying Liverpool’s overpriced reserves ? Although wiki has already suggested to me that they have almost made up the konate fee in selling off reserves and are about level. But no real noise on the CM that I assume they need
Only reason Liverpool or Phillips would be interested in coming here is if he was to be first choice. But it seems we're more interested in him as a cover option?
