Speculation: Matt Phillips (Blackpool FC)

I would rather we sign Ince from BP tbh.

Me too. It amuses me greatly that Liverpool paid £20m for Downing when they had Ince sat in their squad...only to sell him to Blackpool for £60k (probably less than they pay Downing in a week).

Don't see it with Phillips.

Can have good games when confident, but he's just a touch short of technique. Looks a bit shaky carrying the ball and has very mixed results when striking the ball, as either a cross or a shot.

He is an athlete though, which helps anyone out when they're struggling. I wouldn't be looking to spend money there when we have Albrighton (who lets not forget was immense for about 4 months coming into the team) and Samir C who are both wide men.

I thought he looked excellent when Blackpool came to VP a couple of seasons back with a completely changed XI and lost 3-2.

If this is typical of his performance level then I think he could be an excellent addition to the squad.
