I just can’t see what’s fundamentally changed that has made him suddenly decide that he doesn’t want to stay and fight and is happy to be sent on a last minute loan.
That would depend on who the interested clubs are, if it’s Liverpool he’s gone, if it’s Everton Fulham etc, then he’s got a decision to make, didn’t he get an England call up playing for Leeds in the championship? Maybe he fancies going home (we’d have to pay 2/3 of his wages)I just can’t see what’s fundamentally changed that has made him suddenly decide that he doesn’t want to stay and fight and is happy to be sent on a last minute loan.
That’s been pretty much the case since the window opened though, that’s my point. I’m sure he’s been well aware of the type of player we’ve been looking at and he’s definitely well aware of his place in the pecking order.We've just signed his replacement and it's been made clear to him that he can't gain the manager's trust?
He can sit on the sidelines for the next six months or he can move on with some dignity.
Me too, but I read it as clubs asking for him to be loaned, not Phillips agreeing to suchI’ve no idea. I’m going off what I’ve read on this thread in the last half hour.
That’s my point, I’d expect him to stay after making it clear for months that’s his intention only to go in the last couple of hours of the window.Me too, but I read it as clubs asking for him to be loaned, not Phillips agreeing to such
Thought he was off to the rags ?Hojberg turned down Fulham

I’m not sure moving with dignity is high on his priority list.
End of day I’m just thinking aloud here as I’ve no fucking clue of his or the clubs thinking.
I think it would be a surprise if he left this window tooThat’s my point, I’d expect him to stay after making it clear for months that’s his intention only to go in the last couple of hours of the window.
Seems a bit rushed. I don’t think he’d be happy to go on loan btw, that was the wrong expression.
We will find out soon enough. I don’t think it’s going to take up too much of my day either way. :-)It's possible that he had such self belief that he thought he'd sit it out until a replacement turned up. One week ago we weren't set to sign anyone in his position and missed two targets.
I don't see him as the sort that's happy to sit out the rest of the career when he has the opportunity of a payoff or a loan.
I can't believe that players are rejecting a chance to play at Fulham F.C. just to get a game at united. I mean this is FULHAM FC we are talking about here. Fulham, the Cottage, Great nights in London. Ful Ham Football Club.Hojberg turned down Fulham
He’d suit those cunts, a snide nasty **** on the pitchThought he was off to the rags ?
