Gerrard wanted him at Rangers and would be a cheap back up/rotation option, can't see Coventry wanting that much for him. Apparently Gerrard was at the recent Coventry game vs Birmingham in November too. He’s 5’6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the need for the here and now and the cynic in me say's naturally so will SG, he wants to make a mark. I also see the need for younger players too, for maybe after SG. If SG did up and go at any stage, we don't want to be left with too many ageing players....its all about getting the balance right. Dean was happy to go with youth, A) Easier to handle/manage b) He thought he would be with us for the duration, so he thought he would prosper from that strategy. Ron Atkinson, did the "here and now" thing, with little focus on youth and for a while, we hade a really good team, then he left. Its all about getting the balance right....I think with Kerr Smith, Josh Feeney, and our other youth prodigies, we probably are. Given the investment already into the u23 squad, we should hopefully have a very good blend of talented youth and experience. And you're right about SG legging it, we don't want to be left with a squad older than god 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Leeds look pretty much safe now and have shown they can win without Phillips. I think if we want to sign then we can. Only thing that makes me doubt it is, and also the Bissouma link, is Purslow saying that Steven wants to sign players that are winners, presumably meaning players have won things.

useless Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If we wanted a player I don't think that would stop us from signing that player, especially one as highly rated KP. Indeed the fact that he's out injured until March would probably boost our chances of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I do sometimes wonder if the Bissouma links are a smokescreen for us to try and sneakily snatch Zakaria or Boubacar Kamara from under the noses of the "bigger" teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Leeds can’t afford to sell anyone they have so many injured at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Leed can afford to sell, most of their players are coming back from injury, they're pretty much safe from relegation, and their fans have been expressing concerns if they show they can win without Phillips then they might cash in to reinvest in the squad. If we really wanted Phillips, of course we'd sign him if we could despite his current injury, March isn't even that far away, and it's not as if we haven't got perfectly capable DM in Luiz that can play there in the meantime. Owing to Purslow's comments I doubt we want Phillips anyway, will more likely be someone who's won a title in one of the top leagues, or a World Cup, or Champions League.

PerryBarrPet Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Given the level of the recent purchases we have made the only way to continue improvement is by buying players better than we have now. So a CDM far better than Nakamba (Zakaria?) plus a CD better than Mings (Botman a left footer?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Phillips would never move to us. He adores Leeds. If he moves it wouldn’t be for a perceived side-step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Looks good but would be wasted here. He likes to spray more than the Bloods and Crips. As wierd as it is for me to say that , our system needs a defensive midfielder to break up play and give it to the ballers. This lad is more James Ward Prowse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
