Aston Villa are set to fight with West Ham to secure the signature of QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips according to Football Direct News. please log in to view this image Shaun Wright Phillips has made 36 England caps, scoring six goals Former England international Wright-Phillips is available on a free transfer with only a week to run on his contract at QPR. The former Manchester City and Chelsea wideman only made 13 appearances for QPR last season and his exit will be confirmed after their Championship playoff final against Derby on Saturday. Aston Villa are very keen on bringing the winger to Villa Park to provide some experience for their young squad. After a struggling season that saw the Birmingham-based side flirt with relegation to the second tier of English football, Villa boss Paul Lambert is keen for his younger players to learn from some more experienced names. Despite Aston Villa owner recently putting the club up for sale causing uncertainty over the long-term future of the playing and backroom staff, Lambert has been allowed to press on with his summer transfer business. West Ham are also admirers of Wright-Phillips. They want to bring the 32 year-old to Upton Park and are confident of being able to match his wage demands-something which is a potential stumbling block for Aston Villa http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/aston-villa-and-west-ham-to-fight-for-qpr-winger/
I heard someone on the radio yesterday say that West Ham would do much better if they had players who could cross the ball to Andy Carroll from the wings/ byline, rather than just hoof it up to him from midfield. Now remind me ... why are they looking at SWP?
Awesome player. Would be a big loss for us, but if other clubs' need is greater than ours, who are we to stand in his way? Wish him all the best in his future career
"Aston Villa and West Ham to fight for QPR winger but eventually one of them will lose and have to sign him".
Why not. If SWP and Luke Young both go we will need someone to moan about getting paid but not playing.
Guys, you know that he'll go wherever and have an incredible purple patch. It would be the QPR way. I know he scored one that was disallowed that should have stood but has he actually scored for us? Not606 taxi fund?!
