Hope that no-one announces a press conference for about 5.30pm today, that would be way too stressful

Jimmy Kebe might have a thing or two to say as soon as he signs.

Loving this, but particularly at 1.37 as he runs from behind halfway and kicks about ten players out the way before burying it.

If he still has the desire/hunger I am delighted if we get him.

13 starts and 10 more appearances as a sub and 8 goals. And he is 4 and a half years older than Roberts.Maguire wrote:As a substitute...Wycombe Royal wrote:Phillips at Blackpool hasn't done too badly.......Maguire wrote:Bit underwhelmed tbh - hope it's only a loan coz you don't want to be buying strikers on the way down at the end of their careers really

More to the point Phillips is a lot better than Roberts.

Rubbish, phillips used to be. However he hasn't played regularly in the prem for quite a while. Roberts has.Bandini wrote:More to the point Phillips is a lot better than Roberts.

Completely different types of player, impossible to compare.
I imagine Phillips would be pretty useless at the role we're bringing Roberts in to play.

Only 13 starts then. I'd be hoping to sign a striker who can manage 80mins most weeks and who might get better with time rather than worse.Wycombe Royal wrote:13 starts and 10 more appearances as a sub and 8 goals.

That's where WR's second part of the sentence comes into play.

No, the point I was making is that Roberts will be able to play more minutes because he is 4 and a half years younger than Phillips.

Well yeah, I'd taken Roberts over Phillips if we're talking "one for the future"
