NUFC Transfer Rumours

Phillips to us makes too much sense for all concerned. Player not getting regular football and Euro 2024 six months away so maybe wants to stay in the PL to showcase himself. Us with injuries, a suspended Tonali and a non existent midfield defensively in recent weeks. Hope this one can happen.

I'd be happy with that. Let's be realistic, CL has gone this season (Yes, I'm sorry, it has). However with Phillips in, injured players returning and back to a once a week fixture schedule, there is no reason why we can't make one of the EL spots. Pointless paying totally inflated prices in this window in the vain hope of getting back into CL race.

It's a nice bit of analysis from Clery re: Phillips.

 

Think it highlights part of the intended long-term defensive plan with Tonali too as he's quick for a CM - he should, in theory, be an excellent drop back in option for when Bruno roams. He got back excellently against Villa on a number of occasions.

 

Still don't think just chucking a DM in will automatically help as it'll create other problems in our buildup. Based on the video, adding more pacey options to the backline might be a bigger deal.

 

What was good about Phillips' stats were that he's evidently got a decent amount to his game in possession and that feels like a good addition. Good tackler as well, obvs.

Social media nonsense about players shagging escorts in some hotel I think.


It may be true about current players it may be bollocks but it’s not that far fetched as this type of stuff has happened plenty of times with footballers.

100% this. It’s why I’m not convinced we’re actually looking for a DM.

Henderson still gets picked even though he's playing in a dead league

 

If Phillips goes to Juve there's no risk to him losing his England spot 

 

I do hope we can push for it because I think he would be ideal for us
