Sima Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Phillips was good for one season! Won the Golden Bewt marra. Something She-ra never won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Nicolas Medina. Quick search on Wiki shows he played 7 minutes for Argentina in a World Cup Qualifier a couple of years after leaving. Also: Medina briefly courted controversy early in his Sunderland career, after being quoted in an Argentine newspaper that he was planning to live in Newcastle (home to Newcastle United, Sunderland's fiercest rivals) rather than in the City of Sunderland.

joeyt Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 My memory of him at Sunderland isn't very good but I thought he played mainly in midfield and Micky Gray or George McCartney played left back. I'm probably wrong mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Phillips was good for one season! Yep, the old long ball to Quinn and knock downs to Phillip's was figured out in the second season. As long as anyone could get in the way of that then the supply was halted for Phillips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Phillips was a decent player like, probably the best player I've seen them have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Phillips was an excellent finisher in his time there but was helped massively by having Quinn alongside him. Their tactics were basically lump it up to Quinn, knock down to Phillips, strike at goal. Fair play to them because it actually worked really well and they scored an unbelievable amount of goals playing that way. His all round game wasn't particularly good though. A million miles away from the likes of Shearer and Ferdinand who we had here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Bent was good, think they had Danny Rose on loan too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought Sessegnon looked good for them for a short while. Can't remember if Welbeck was good for them or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought Sessegnon looked good for them for a short while. Can't remember if Welbeck was good for them or not Only remember that one game v Chelsea A when they won 3-0 when Welbeck, Gyan and Bent were canny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Would had taken Phillips as a backup for bellamy. Thought him and shearer could had been a decent partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Love how it says Newcastle were fortunate they had the likes of Sissoko and Cabella, etc., from a financial point of view. There's nowt fortunate about it. We've simply ran our business better. (Enjoy that sentence as it's probably the only time I'll say it... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It really could go horribly wrong there like. I know they'll still be attractive to good Championship players like we were, but like that article says, it's not like they're going to get in about £70-80m in the summer to pay for those. Heart bleeds for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
