Think i'm swaying towards Philips,of the two.

Yes I’m with you on that

West ham want 100M for him?! He's very good defensively but give me a break. He look's like a fish out of water on the ball.

If we sway towards either....we are going backwards, Fern is about to draw his pension and better now than either of them ever will be.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Phillips 'n Rice are doing exactly what Southgate want them to do, and doing it rather effectively, but how that translates into a team like ours I wouldn't know, but I suspect that it might prove disappointing. If they are meant to be Ferny's permanent replacement they both have some way to go - and they will be surprised, nay, astonished at the number of cards they keep getting!

A competent DM - no more - and certainly not worth anywhere near £100m.

Being built up for a fall this lad. Decent enough but he should stay at West Ham. Certainly not a player we should be looking at and the fees bandied about are laughable.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

He is operating as part of two DMs as does Henderson at Liverpool. Being a sole DM is a whole different set of skills.

I wouldn't say that as we don't have an athletic/combative box to box in our squad,so a very good player like Philips,who would offer us those attributes,while allowing our creative players more confidence to flourish,would definitely improve us.

Looking around the worlds leagues,there isnt much out there.Its a reason Fern got that 12 months.

Inflated market place.

Cheers Rag's.

Very good young player who's benefiting from playing in front of two competent centre backs for both club and country. Not worth 100M though.
