    They were after a new car after loaning us that mini metro which we couldn't get to start.

    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

    Not sure Liverpool need a centre back, with VVD, Gomez, Matip, Konate, N Phillips and R Williams.

    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

    Nat Phillips on loan surfacing today. Then spend some money on the CM

    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

    Whenever someone says ‘could do worse’ l immediately think we could perhaps do better!

    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?

    Still think it'll be someone out of the blue, like Jerome Onguene from Salzburg.

    Didn't John Terry leave Villa recently to 'pursue other avenues' ?

    If true it means there are hopefully still funds for a central midfielder

    I really hope Ralph calls our bluff, and goes out and signs Sam Johnstone
