Saying it again.He's done. He was done when we signed him. Shoulder injuries this serious have killed off better players. Championship quality now. Needs to accept it or he'll never play football again.
Wonder if he could rock up at Stockport County if they get into League One.It was more than an "unpleasant shoulder issue". He needed invasive surgery on it and he was out for five months. The same thing basically saw Alvaro Negredo off and, as far as I can remember, he didn't need surgery. He scored 23 goals in 35 games between August and January in the 13/14 season but after that shoulder/back injury he picked up against West Ham in the cup it took him another two-and-a-half years (and over 100 more games) to score another 23 goals. And if Phillips' injury was even half as bad then you can see why his form and fitness have both gone off a cliff.
I stopped caring for Phillips when he slagged off Pep and went crying to the press. Classless.What do you mean much earlier? He had one full season with us and has been loaned out in the next one. Its not like anybody come in with a good offer to buy him. Do you think we should've given him away for free?
You're acting like he's been at City for years doing nothing. He's literally had one season and it didn't work out, so he's out on loan.
Shame you're too daft to understand that.
Or is it a case of a very average player having an exceptional 18 months of form which included the Euros?
It would not be the first time a player had a great International Tournament and got a big move that did not work out.
It’s hard to believe now that not very long ago there was talk in the media that the Dippers were looking at him as a potential signing.Can we loan him to the rags or red scousers..
As their mascot?Wonder if he could rock up at Stockport County if they get into League One.
Not worked out for him, leave him alone …
