PieFacE Posted January 23 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23 It's a move that doesn't surprise me cos it's Moyes and West Ham but I'm not sure Phillips is what West Ham need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Nah shite like that is what players, their agents and clubs all try to do to appease their fan base Phillips is a shite busted flush, their fans probably aren't overly happy but he can't be that bad if juve are also interested...

Zatman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) This is like when we signed Danny Drinkwater. An out of shape clogger who had a half decent season years before Edited January 23 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he literally only needs to have one half-decent performance to prove that wrong, and I think they'll get more than that out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 for all Philips pro's and con's, if Spam do get him, they will have Phillips, Ward-Prowse, Alvarez, Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta. they will have a good second half of the season if they can all stay fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games he has played for City he has looked over weight and out of his depth against usually poor opponents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be interesting, he’s had essentially a year-plus long hiatus, he may not come back the same player again particularly after living on easy street at City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 23 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23 Good signing for West Ham's bench/treatment room. Be hilarious/entirely predictable if now he doesn't make the England squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd signed Sidwell straight from Reading he'd have likely done o.k. Instead he spent a year warming the bench at Chelsea and wasn't great playing in a very good midfield. Drinkwater as said was laughably off the pace in the games he did play and Barkley started alright but soon tailed off. Dele at Everton also a complete waste of time albeit with off field things to sort out. Thing here is I just don't see a place for him in West Ham's best 11 unless they're just going to play two attackers now and a sort of diamond midfield.

Peak Southgate he'll still make the squad for the euros ahead of JWP even if Ward Prowse keeps him out of the West Ham team! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are top 6 in the Prem, Europa knockouts and just won a European trophy. They are better now than at anytime in my 35 years of going to watch football. As for Phillips, could go either way but I suspect a decent signing as its only a loan. Edit: @Zatman beat me to it.

tinker Posted January 23 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23 Good signing for them, no risk and if he can gain some form , which I think he will, it may well get them a top 6 finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MapleVilla Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Be interesting to see how he does, if he gets thrown in and plays alot of minutes, and if he gets injured. Can be a problem with players not playing much and then all of a sudden you're playing 90+ minutes every week. Not saying it always happens but he' barely played at Citeh and I'm pretty sure he's had injuries too while he's been there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Had a quick look on their forum and they all seem surprisingly happy with signing him, very much focusing on what he was for Leeds rather than what he's become under city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
