RUMOUR - Matt Phillips

[Cobi]

Phillips would be epic!

HRK was only cover in the championship, so what makes anyone think he'll be able to cut it in the prem?

Get Obita out on loan to a champ team for 6 months, and have McAnuff, Kebe, McCleary and Phillips with HRK pushing for a place on the bench.

The Mail recently have been taken articles from the internet and acting, as the BBC does as a window of all the transfer gossip, hence why they put 'According to The Sun'. Its nothing they've come up with, they're just saying that is what The Sun thinks. Saves everyone reading The Sun's website or buying their paper if they know The Mail will put it up on their own site

More significant movements tonight on this one and looking like it will happen. Another one with local family connections so that will help.

We are certainly goIng for pacey wing play next season so next up will be the big target man, who will that be?

cos he often looked very good, and is young and improving. has pace, strength, can cross, can go past players, and a very decent shot on him

[Extended-Phenotype]

HRK’s mistakes were mixed with flashes of brilliance. In my experience that shows the lad just needs confidence which comes from regular games.

I’d be happy to see him retain his back-up role and see whether we see further improvement. Each season he has improved despite playing a bit part.

While it's great be be seen signing and chasing good quality wingers, that's not the position that worries me the most.

We still lack any kind of creativity in the middle, and our strike force has the depth of a puddle.

Mostly agreed with this one. As I've said before, I think Hal Robson-Kanu will be a bit of a Stephen Hunt; fairly decent at Championship level but a star for us in the Premier League.

Interesting, I'd never considered a Hunt comparison before but could see it happening.

I'm on record as saying I think he needs a year in the Championship to reach his full potential but would I be shocked to see him emerge in the same way as Hunt... no not really.

Speaking at length last night with my blackpool mate about Matt Phillips - he is seen at the future of blackpool (as well as Ince) and the reason why Holloway would stay there to complete the very good job he's done so far...we may be premier league but don't just assume we can go in and get him. My mate really really rates him, and from what he said about Holloways opinion of him he should have made it to at least England u21s or better but didnt get a look-in probably due to the club he's at (and not being in the radar as much in the championship), so has opted to go down the scottish international route. I personally don't know much about him, but he does sound very interesting. 4 wingers would be ideal, personally I don't think HRK is there yet, but has shown flashes of his ability, so perhaps a loan out to a champ side will show us what he can do (assuming another winger e.g. Philips comes in?)

[RFCMod]

Its been in the press a fair bit but talking to one of my work colleagues yesterday who is good mates with him he said he will leave Blackpool and Phillips has said that the move to Reading is in quite advanced stages if both parties can agree terms

Not sure about this signing if it goes through,doesn't exactly set teams alight

[Norfolk Royal]

Ahem.
