Building for the future at last. Don't shoot me but I am 'happy' building for a couple of seasons if we need to so that we do it right at our next crack at the PL like Swansea have done. Happy Friday.
His arm doesnt look too broken in the pics on the offy. Giving Beard a very firm handshake, writing autographs etc. Hopefully nearer full fitness than we thought. Great signing.
Was it his left arm? It looks like there's a bit of muscle wastage in his QPR player interview, probably needs a couple of weeks of strengthening exercises. Incidentally, he said "you know" 69 times in the 5 minute interview, so he's no Nedum Onouha. If he does the biz who cares though! "Speaking moments after signing on the dotted line in W12, he told www.qpr.co.uk: “QPR are a club with huge ambition. “The direction in which the club is heading, with the signings that have already been made this summer, it seems like the perfect time to come here. “We all know what Harry Redknapp is about and personally I can’t wait to play for him. “I’ve had a taste of the Premier League and nothing would please me more than to help get QPR back into the top flight. “I’m very excited to be here and relishing the opportunity to play for the club.” Phillips becomes Harry Redknapp’s sixth signing of the summer and the R’s gaffer is delighted with his latest piece of business, commenting: “Matt’s got a big, big future ahead of him in the game, so we’re delighted we’ve been able to get him here. “I like having wingers in my teams and he’s very direct. He can take people on and make things happen. He’s quick, he gets at people, he can make goals and he can score goals. “He gets people off their seats and that's what you want to see as a supporter. He’s a really exciting signing for us.”
Sounds a lot more eloquent in this interview, 1.38 onwards. Must of been nervous during the QPR player one. Seems a nice lad, hopefully he'll fit into the current positive camp well!

Lovely final goal of his Hattrick [video=youtube;o6PaOZk9z6E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6PaOZk9z6E[/video]
Good signing. Could take a while to get the best out of him though so patience may be required! 5 million sounds a bit expensive though.
Very clever signing as we already have a right phillips now we have a left phillips with a nice matt finish
£5m surely includes add-ons including appearances, promotion, etc. Good signing and we might just be getting the balance right.
Fairly banal but here you go: Matty Phillips ‏@phillips_matty 52s Would like to thank everyone at blackpool thanking the fans who supported me had a good three years ! Matty Phillips ‏@phillips_matty 1m Delighted to be joining QPR! Cant wait to get started ! #promotion #QPR Presumably he'll be good to go once the international break is finished. It would be nice to see him get a home full-debut Vs Brighton.
I think he is quality, if he was not injured I am sure a prem club would have gone in for him, I am sure that a prem club did bid for him a while back, just gutted harry did not make a public statement about him, so ffc could of pinched him, only joking, he looks class
