Thumbheed Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Big fan of Philips. Would give us some much needed positional discipline in the centre of midfield but also give us some technical quality too. I still would like to see Bruno allowed a little more freedom in the final 3rd and Philips would give us that option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Find it strange some wouldn't embrace Phillips at this junction, given the strolling through our midfield with daisies in your hair recent eye openers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Loan with an option wouldn’t be bad, I’d be against any kind of obligation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Phillips & Ramsdale loans would go some way to getting us back on course. Put the big money into a CB or right winger. Minteh might have to come back, if so, then a £30-40m long term partner for Botman would do us wonders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a difficult one, I just think an obligation would be a bit of a risk considering ffp constraints. We already have 35 million to pay for Hall in the summer, if we are obligated to pay for Phillips as well and he doesn’t play well then we will have spent a large portion of the budget already.

It’s paid off, doesn’t mean the Phillips would. What would city be looking for if it was an obligation ? 20-25 million ? That would be near enough 65 million of the summer budget gone.

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The solution for Phillips in relation to obligation could be linked to games played His lack of football is a legitimate concern but think if he can get a run of games going he'll be the player City signed It would be nice to have a physical presence in the middle, seeing Luton and Forest stroll past our midfield was rage inducing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 3 hours ago, GeordieT said: Same piece claims: “If money is spent in January for a permanent deal to go through, Newcastle will almost certainly have to sell one of their own prize assets in the summer, which raises the possibility of cashing in on the likes Bruno Guimaraes, Sven Botman or Alexander Isak in July or August”. Cheery as always from Luke. Yeah Luke, because we'd sell 1 if our best players to fund other transfers. Slightly counter productive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
