daggy_333 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 A host of clubs are ready to make a move for Blackpool winger Matt Phillips, Sky Sports understands. The Tangerines look to have a battle on their hands to hang on to their exciting winger as Everton, Wigan, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Reading all weigh up potential bids. The 21-year-old had an outstanding campaign last term for Blackpool scoring seven league goals and was one of the main reasons they made it to the play-off final. Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is desperate to keep hold of his wing stars in Phillips and team-mate Thomas Ince - but he could have a battle on his hands. Everton are reported to be in pole position, but it is understood a number of their Premier League rivals are also very keen on landing the Scotland international. clicky Yes please!
KjParton Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Lambert can use his scottishness to persuade him :3
steve-67 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 If we really are interested in signing Andy Carroll on loan, then yes please!! We'll need wingers.
Zatman Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 impact player he could be but except rip Warnock apart he hasnt been that impressive for me
Foxy1 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Is it correct that Phillips was at Wycombe at same time as PL?
Mattyp_avfc Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 He would be a very good signing, Lambert know's about him from his Wycombe days (iirc). Reminds me of AY minues the theatrics and a bit rougher!
Richard Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Cracking player , exactly the type we should be interested in
TrentVilla Posted July 14, 2012 Moderator Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah I'd be happy to see us in for him, wouldn't mind Ince as well.
troon_villan Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 impact player he could be but except rip Warnock apart he hasnt been that impressive for me Guinness?
leevilla Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Would be a good signing i think,we are short on a couple of good wide men!
smetrov Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Really rate him - We could probably fund this by selling Nzog. Seems a lot of clubs after him though. - I would think Sunderland would be a major competitors.
Villaonsea Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 sunderland have seb larsson. Maybe if we off delph on season loan as part of the deal? That would really test delph, as holloway plays passing football, and we would have an exciting winger. 4 million?

I know a leeds fan - and the word from up there - is that Delph is riddled with Injuries - and won't be playing many games for anyone, anytime soon.....He was injured for today's game I believe
villan-scott Posted July 14, 2012 VT Supporter Posted July 14, 2012 I'd love Phillips, a great talent. He's exactly the sort of player I can see us signing, young, hungry and talented. Hope PL can make this happen.
Junxs Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Think Paul is a bit old to be honest. Are you saying old people aren't honest?
