Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

I assume Phillips is being signed to fill the Puncheon role.

 

I go out for a few hours and I miss so much. The Phillips signing is pleasing enough. I'd have preferred Jarvis, but you can't have everything. At least we're getting Fierro soon.

 

Lens or Babel would of been better signings.

 

A striker or a left winger?

 

They are both wingers.

 

Or perhaps Phillips LW, Lallana RW, rod up top and Rickie number 10

 

Whether you call Lens a striker or a winger, he is a very attacking winger who wouldn't fit into an English midfield. Babel is left-sided and also is a massive prick.

 

So is Pepe,but that doesn't stop him from being a good player...

 

Wouldn't want him in the team. He might be a good player, he could earn us points on his own, but I couldn't support the prick.

 

Yeah,I know where you are coming from.It's very hard to support a great player who is a prick.

A bit like Cristiano Ronaldo,I couldn't care less if I saw him in my local coffee shop,I wouldn't ask for his autograph or talk to him because he would love that and I don't like the bloke at all even though he is a better human being than he was when he was at Man utd,I think so anyway,but if I saw Nigel Adkins then,of course,I would ask for his autograph and I'd buy him a drink because he is a brilliant manager and person.

 

Lens is certainly more of a striker/#10. Also I wouldn't want Babel either...

 

kevin mirallas is goin for 6M... him or phillips? LOL

 

One, Mirallas is likely going to be end up on far higher wages than Phillips, which means that the expenditure really isn't all that equal. Two, he's more of a striker than a winger, while Phillips is perhaps a more natural fit in the hybrid 4-3-3, having played in it and excelled last year. I'd prefer Jarvis to Phillips, but both would represent quality signings...Phillips certainly didn't look out of place the handful of times I saw him when Blackpool was in the Prem, and while he was primarily a substitute he was also a teenager.

 

Yes, every team needs an arrogant, big headed, sulky child in their number!

Maybe it's time for a "great player but bit of a prick" thread.

 

Have I missed something? we haven't signed him yet!

 

I read that post first thing this morning as well, rushed to the OS and saw nothing. DISSAPOINT.

 

Just following the Echo story yesterday I assumed.

 

Just seen this - from some random lad on Twitter:


"@iTsMarvel_Twizz: Jeeeeez, My Cousin Just Got Signed To Southampton From Blackpool For £6 Million, So Happy For Him."


He plays for Corby Town himself. That'd be done a bit quick right?! I'm always cynical though.

 

Not if we'd spent the last week hammering it out with his agent before making the official approach.

 

True. If I remember correctly, we bid for Fox and he was on his way down here as soon as he heard it was accepted.
