mondonewc Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Phillips is 28 in December, given our strategy so far seems unlikely we'd be wanting to buy him, loan maybe. As said already, feels like easy link to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a much different position then (pretty much desperation). Not saying we won’t go for Phillips but it would be a step away from the last few windows.

Whitley mag Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Matt O’Riley only 22 would be surprised if where not scouting him, seems to have gone up a level this season and we’ve been linked previously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very happy with him, but trust the club to do right thing regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Phillips wouldn't be up to our level until the end of the season if we sign him in January, imo. Not been looking particularly sharp whenever he's played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It won’t be a popular suggestion on here but if we are looking for a low cost midfielder in January then Wilfred Ndidi would be a good pick up, he is out of contract in the summer and Leicester could have one foot back in the Premier League already by then. Not only is he a capable Defensive Midfielder but he has reinvented himself this season to play in Longstaff’s role on the right. Here is a good read about him this season. https://theathletic.com/4980582/2023/10/21/the-reinvention-of-wilfred-ndidi/?amp=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 He isn’t though, he just had a poor season when Leicester went down but was one of their better players prior to that. He nearly went to Bayern in the summer still and will likely get a decent move between now and next summer. If we could afford a top level player then fine but we can’t until at least the summer, I’m not sure if we would want to spend big on a CM even then.

I wouldn't be against signing him, think he's better than many give him credit for. He's had spells of being a very good player so if Howe and Co. thought he was the way to go I'd be fully on board, as I say though, do think it's much more likely just lazy journalism.

It might say that in the article but I can’t be arsed with reading transfer reports outside of the windows Has the feels of Tripps this story. Broke in early autumn and wouldn’t go away.

Mazzy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Loan with an OPTION to buy would obviously be the best for us but wouldn't really suit Philips or Man City so I would be surprised to see that happen. Its either a straight loan or we have to buy him IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 When Kim Jin Mae moved to Bayern he made the joke “think this will be a good move for his Korea”. He seemingly makes this joke anytime a Korean player is linked with a move away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us a specific defensive midfielder as an option and I think he improves us overall. If they don’t go for him and it doesn’t happen it’ll also be for the right reasons. The benefit thesedays is I just don’t stress about what the club does because I have every faith in what they’re doing. Im guessing he’s cup tied for champions league assuming we were to get through the next round? Edited October 24, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Looks like 10 months for Tonali. More reason to just go for a Sabitzer style 6-month loan deal for someone with no obligation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
